Molecular-Genetic Mapping of Zebrafish Mutants with Variable Phenotypic Penetrance
Forward genetic screens in vertebrates are powerful tools to generate models relevant to human diseases, including neuropsychiatric disorders. Variability in phenotypic penetrance and expressivity is common in these disorders and behavioral mutant models, making their molecular-genetic mapping a formidable task. Using a 'phenotyping by segregation' strategy, we molecularly map the hypersensitiv...
متن کاملZebrafish cyclin E regulation during early embryogenesis.
Cyclin E cDNA, cloned from a zebrafish embryonic cDNA library, was used for analysis of cyclin E regulation during early embryogenesis. During the rapid cell cycles of the early cleavage stage, which lacks a G1 phase, the cyclin E mRNA, protein, and associated H1 kinase activity were found to be constitutive, in contrast to their reported cyclic behavior during the cycle of cultured mammalian c...
متن کاملComparing protein stabilities during zebrafish embryogenesis.
The stabilities of many key proteins are regulated, e.g. via ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, with important biological consequences. We present a convenient method that allows the analysis and comparison of protein stabilities during embryogenesis using early zebrafish development as a model system. Basically, this method involves ectopic overexpression of epitope-tagged proteins vi...
متن کاملSpatial Allocation and Specification of Cardiomyocytes during Zebrafish Embryogenesis
Incomplete development and severe malformation of the heart result in miscarriage of embryos because of its malfunction as a pump for circulation. During cardiogenesis, development of the heart is precisely coordinated by the genetically-primed program that is revealed by the sequential expression of transcription factors. It is important to investigate how spatial allocation of the heart conta...
متن کاملJak2a regulates erythroid and myeloid hematopoiesis during zebrafish embryogenesis
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are an attractive vertebrate model for the molecular dissection of disease mechanisms. Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (stat) has been defined through studies of cytokine signaling pathways in mammals. Here, we examined the expression level of Jak2a, which is a homolog of mammalian jak2 in zebrafish, by quantitative reverse transcripta...
