Conserved deployment of genes during odontogenesis across osteichthyans.
Odontogenesis has only been closely scrutinized at the molecular level in the mouse, an animal with an extremely restricted dentition of only two types and one set. However, within osteichthyans many species display complex and extensive dentitions, which questions the extent to which information from the mouse is applicable to all osteichthyans. We present novel comparative molecular and morph...
متن کاملEpithelial-mesenchymal Interactions during Odontogenesis
Recently we reported ultrastructural observatlons which indicated that matrix vesicles were actual constituents of the intercellular organic matrix during embryonic tooth development (14). It is assumed that many of these matrix vesicles are involved in formative aspects of dentinogenesis or amelogenesis, two primary extracellular processes that occur during embryonic tooth formation The fracti...
متن کاملAlbumin gene expression during mouse odontogenesis.
Albumin protein is present in developing teeth of several species. Oligomer primers and cRNA probes specific for albumin were designed to perform RT-PCR, and for in situ hybridization, respectively. In situ hybridization failed to reveal albumin expression in any tooth cells, however, albumin PCR products were amplified from tissues adhering to the roots of developing teeth from four-week-old m...
متن کاملMammalian specific mouse genes are evolving faster than mouse genes conserved across other eukaryotic lineages.
Positive selection is usually considered in the context of a higher rate of substitutions in non-synonymous as compared to synonymous sites in complete coding sequences of genes or individual positions. We show that genes conserved in eukaryota, coelomata, and bilateria, that is, proteins that arose earlier in evolution as compared to mammalia specific genes evolve slowly and are subjected to n...
متن کاملCtip2/Bcl11b controls ameloblast formation during mammalian odontogenesis.
The transcription factor Ctip2/Bcl11b plays essential roles in developmental processes of the immune and central nervous systems and skin. Here we show that Ctip2 also plays a key role in tooth development. Ctip2 is highly expressed in the ectodermal components of the developing tooth, including inner and outer enamel epithelia, stellate reticulum, stratum intermedium, and the ameloblast cell l...
