Hes7 3′UTR is required for somite segmentation function
A set of genes in the posterior end of developing mouse embryos shows oscillatory expression, thereby regulating periodic somite segmentation. Although the mechanism for generating oscillation has extensively been clarified, what regulates the oscillation period is still unclear. We attempted to elongate the oscillation period by increasing the time to transcribe Hes7 in this research. We gener...
متن کاملCell cycle progression is required for zebrafish somite morphogenesis but not segmentation clock function.
Cell division, differentiation and morphogenesis are coordinated during embryonic development, and frequently are in disarray in pathologies such as cancer. Here, we present a zebrafish mutant that ceases mitosis at the beginning of gastrulation, but that undergoes axis elongation and develops blood, muscle and a beating heart. We identify the mutation as being in early mitotic inhibitor 1 (emi...
متن کاملIntronic delay is essential for oscillatory expression in the segmentation clock.
Proper timing of gene expression is essential for many biological events, but the molecular mechanisms that control timing remain largely unclear. It has been suggested that introns contribute to the timing mechanisms of gene expression, but this hypothesis has not been tested with natural genes. One of the best systems for examining the significance of introns is the oscillator network in the ...
متن کاملAccelerating the tempo of the segmentation clock by reducing the number of introns in the Hes7 gene.
Periodic somite segmentation is controlled by the cyclic gene Hes7, whose oscillatory expression depends upon negative feedback with a delayed timing. The mechanism that regulates the pace of segmentation remains to be determined, but mathematical modeling has predicted that negative feedback with shorter delays would give rise to dampened but more rapid oscillations. Here, we show that reducin...
متن کاملAnteroposterior patterning is required within segments for somite boundary formation in developing zebrafish.
Somite formation involves the establishment of a segmental prepattern in the presomitic mesoderm, anteroposterior patterning of each segmental primordium and formation of boundaries between adjacent segments. How these events are co-ordinated remains uncertain. In this study, analysis of expression of zebrafish mesp-a reveals that each segment acquires anteroposterior regionalisation when locat...
