Dorsal induction from dorsal vegetal cells in Xenopus occurs after mid-blastula transition
We performed some experiments to investigate the temporal and spatial details of the dorsal induction exerted by dorsal vegetal cells in Xenopus embryo. Two dorsal vegetal cells (D1 cells) were transplanted into the ventral vegetal region of a recipient at the 32-cell stage. At various times after transplantation, the ventral animal-equatorial part was explanted and cultured. The explants isola...
متن کاملDorsal-ventral patterning and neural induction in Xenopus embryos.
We review the current status of research in dorsal-ventral (D-V) patterning in vertebrates. Emphasis is placed on recent work on Xenopus, which provides a paradigm for vertebrate development based on a rich heritage of experimental embryology. D-V patterning starts much earlier than previously thought, under the influence of a dorsal nuclear -Catenin signal. At mid-blastula two signaling center...
متن کاملHigh-resolution analysis of gene activity during the Xenopus mid-blastula transition
The Xenopus mid-blastula transition (MBT) marks the onset of large-scale zygotic transcription, as well as an increase in cell cycle length and a loss of synchronous cell divisions. Little is known about what triggers the activation of transcription or how newly expressed genes interact with each other. Here, we use high-resolution expression profiling to identify three waves of gene activity: ...
متن کاملGeminin Is Required for Zygotic Gene Expression at the Xenopus Mid-Blastula Transition
In many organisms early development is under control of the maternal genome and zygotic gene expression is delayed until the mid-blastula transition (MBT). As zygotic transcription initiates, cell cycle checkpoints become activated and the tempo of cell division slows. The mechanisms that activate zygotic transcription at the MBT are incompletely understood, but they are of interest because the...
متن کاملEndodermal Nodal-related signals and mesoderm induction in Xenopus.
In Xenopus, mesoderm induction by endoderm at the blastula stage is well documented, but the molecular nature of the endogenous inductive signals remains unknown. The carboxy-terminal fragment of Cerberus, designated Cer-S, provides a specific secreted antagonist of mesoderm-inducing Xenopus Nodal-Related (Xnr) factors. Cer-S does not inhibit signalling by other mesoderm inducers such as Activi...
