Dickkopf genes are co-ordinately expressed in mesodermal lineages
Dickkopf-1 (dkk-1) is member of a novel family of secreted proteins and functions in head induction during Xenopus embryogenesis, acting as a potent inhibitor of Wnt signalling. Here we report: (1) the isolation of two additional murine members of the dkk family, dkk-2 and dkk-3; and (2) analysis of adult and embryonic gene expression of mouse dkk-1,-2, and -3, Xenopus dkk-1 as well as chicken ...
متن کاملConserved sequence motifs upstream from the co-ordinately expressed vitellogenin and apoVLDLII genes of chicken.
The vitellogenin and apoVLDLII yolk protein genes of chicken are transcribed in the liver upon estrogenization. To get information on putative regulatory elements, we compared more than 2 kb of their 5' flanking DNA sequences. Common sequence motifs were found in regions exhibiting estrogen-induced changes in chromatin structure. Stretches of alternating pyrimidines and purines of about 30-nucl...
متن کاملMethyl recycling activities are co-ordinately regulated during plant development.
A large number of compounds including lignin, phospholipids, pectin, DNA, mRNA, and proteins require methyl groups for their functionality. A detailed study of the expression and activities of two enzymes, adenosine kinase (ADK) and S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH), which are both required for the maintenance and recycling of S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation in plants, was carr...
متن کاملHighly Expressed Genes Are Preferentially Co-Opted for C4 Photosynthesis
Novel adaptations are generally assembled by co-opting pre-existing genetic components, but the factors dictating the suitability of genes for new functions remain poorly known. In this work, we used comparative transcriptomics to determine the attributes that increased the likelihood of some genes being co-opted for C4 photosynthesis, a convergent complex trait that boosts productivity in trop...
متن کاملOlfactory receptor genes expressed in distinct lineages are sequestered in different nuclear compartments.
The olfactory system translates a vast array of volatile chemicals into diverse odor perceptions and innate behaviors. Odor detection in the mouse nose is mediated by 1,000 different odorant receptors (ORs) and 14 trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs). ORs are used in a combinatorial manner to encode the unique identities of myriad odorants. However, some TAARs appear to be linked to innate ...
