A maternally localised Wnt ligand required for axial patterning in the cnidarian Clytia hemisphaerica.
Regionalised activation of canonical Wnt signalling via beta-catenin stabilisation is a key early step in embryonic patterning in many metazoans, including the basally diverging cnidarians, but the upstream maternal cues appear surprisingly variable. In Clytia, regionalised beta-catenin stabilisation defining a presumptive 'oral' territory is determined by two maternally coded Frizzled family W...
متن کاملAre Hox Genes Ancestrally Involved in Axial Patterning? Evidence from the Hydrozoan Clytia hemisphaerica (Cnidaria)
BACKGROUND The early evolution and diversification of Hox-related genes in eumetazoans has been the subject of conflicting hypotheses concerning the evolutionary conservation of their role in axial patterning and the pre-bilaterian origin of the Hox and ParaHox clusters. The diversification of Hox/ParaHox genes clearly predates the origin of bilaterians. However, the existence of a "Hox code" p...
متن کاملTwo Oppositely Localised Frizzled RNAs as Axis Determinants in a Cnidarian Embryo
In phylogenetically diverse animals, including the basally diverging cnidarians, "determinants" localised within the egg are responsible for directing development of the embryonic body plan. Many such determinants are known to regulate the Wnt signalling pathway, leading to regionalised stabilisation of the transcriptional coregulator beta-catenin; however, the only strong molecular candidate f...
متن کاملAxial patterning in hydra.
Morphogen gradients play an important role in pattern formation during early stages of embryonic development in many bilaterians. In an adult hydra, axial patterning processes are constantly active because of the tissue dynamics in the adult. These processes include an organizer region in the head, which continuously produces and transmits two signals that are distributed in gradients down the ...
متن کاملA Highly Conserved Poc1 Protein Characterized in Embryos of the Hydrozoan Clytia hemisphaerica: Localization and Functional Studies
Poc1 (Protein of Centriole 1) proteins are highly conserved WD40 domain-containing centriole components, well characterized in the alga Chlamydomonas, the ciliated protazoan Tetrahymena, the insect Drosophila and in vertebrate cells including Xenopus and zebrafish embryos. Functions and localizations related to the centriole and ciliary axoneme have been demonstrated for Poc1 in a range of spec...
