Differential induction of four msx homeobox genes during fin development and regeneration in zebrafish.
To study the genetic regulation of growth control and pattern formation during fin development and regeneration, we have analysed the expression of four homeobox genes, msxA, msxB, msxC and msxD in zebrafish fins. The median fin fold, which gives rise to the unpaired fins, expresses these four msx genes during development. Transcripts of the genes are also present in cells of the presumptive pe...
متن کاملMsx homeobox genes inhibit differentiation through upregulation of cyclin D1.
During development, patterning and morphogenesis of tissues are intimately coordinated through control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. We describe a mechanism by which vertebrate Msx homeobox genes inhibit cellular differentiation by regulation of the cell cycle. We show that misexpression of Msx1 via retroviral gene transfer inhibits differentiation of multiple mesenchymal and e...
متن کاملComparison of MSX-1 and MSX-2 suggests a molecular basis for functional redundancy
This study examines the biochemical properties of two members of the murine MSX family, MSX-1 and MSX-2, which have been implicated to have partially overlapping functions during embryogenesis. Our analyses show that MSX-1 and MSX-2 share many features in common including their DNA binding and transcriptional properties. In particular, MSX-1 and MSX-2 interact with a common consensus DNA site, ...
متن کاملRegulation of Msx-1, Msx-2, Bmp-2 and Bmp-4 during foetal and postnatal mammary gland development.
Expression of the Msx-1 and Msx-2 homeobox genes have been shown to be coordinately regulated with the Bmp-2 and Bmp-4 ligands in a variety of developing tissues. Here we report that transcripts from all four genes are developmentally regulated during both foetal and postnatal mammary gland development. The location and time-course of the Bmp and Msx expression point to a role for Msx and Bmp g...
متن کاملEpithelial-mesenchymal interactions are required for msx 1 and msx 2 gene expression in the developing murine molar tooth.
Duplication of the msh-like homeobox gene of Drosophila may be related to the evolution of the vertebrate head. The murine homologues of this gene, msx 1 and msx 2 are expressed in the developing craniofacial complex including the branchial arches, especially in regions of epithelial-mesenchymal organogenesis including the developing tooth. By performing in vitro recombination experiments using...
