Autonomy of ascidian fork head/HNF-3 gene expression
We have characterized the expression pattern of a class I fork head/HNF-3 gene (HrHNF3-1) of the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi. Zygotic HrHNF3-1 expression was detectable as early as the 16-cell stage, and the transcript was evident in blastomeres of the endoderm, notochord and mesenchyme lineages of the early embryos. After the late gastrula stage, HrHNF3-1 was also expressed in the presumptive...
متن کاملExpression of Hr-Erf Gene during Ascidian Embryogenesis
FGF9/16/20 signaling pathway specify the developmental fates of notochord, mesenchyme, and neural cells in ascidian embryos. Although a conserved Ras/MEK/Erk/Ets pathway is known to be involved in this signaling, the detailed mechanisms of regulation of FGF signaling pathway have remained largely elusive. In this study, we have isolated Hr-Erf, an ascidian orthologue of vertebrate Erf, to eluci...
متن کاملStructure and developmental expression of the ascidian TRP gene: insights into the evolution of pigment cell-specific gene expression.
The tyrosinase family in vertebrates consists of three related melanogenic enzymes: tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1), and TRP-2. These proteins control melanin production in pigment cells and play a crucial role in determining vertebrate coloration. We have isolated a gene from the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi which encodes a tyrosinase-related protein (HrTRP) with 45-49% identi...
متن کاملSite-Directed Mutagenesis, Expression and Biological Activity of E. coli 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate 3-Phosphate Synthase Gene
Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) as a powerful technique was used to change two important and conserved amino acids in 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3- phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene of E. coli. The mutations changed glycine 96 to alanine and alanine 183 to threonine. These two amino acids are very important for intraction of the wide spectrum herbicide, glyphosate, to EPSP synthase enzymes. By design...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and expression of a novel homeobox gene AHox1 of the ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi.
We have isolated a novel ascidian homeobox gene, designated AHox1, by screening the genomic DNA of Halocynthia roretzi with the Bombyx mori Antennapedia type homeobox as a probe. The AHox1 gene encodes a protein that consists of 741 amino acids. The homeobox of AHox1 is interrupted by 2 introns each of which is about 300 bp in length and it shows about 70% similarity at a deduced amino acid lev...
