Zebrafish retinal mutants
We have initiated a genetic analysis of the zebrafish visual system to identify novel molecules involved in vertebrate retinal function. Zebrafish are highly visual; they have four types of cones as well as rod photoreceptors, making it possible to study both rod and cone-mediated visual responses. To identify visual mutants, optokinetic responses of mutagenized larvae are measured in a three-g...
متن کاملThe zebrafish epiboly mutants.
Epiboly, the enveloping of the yolk cell by the blastoderm, is the first zebrafish morphogenetic movement. We isolated four mutations that affect epiboly: half baked, avalanche, lawine and weg. Homozygous mutant embryos arrest the vegetal progress of the deep cells of the blastoderm; only the yolk syncytial layer of the yolk cell and the enveloping layer of the blastoderm reach the vegetal pole...
متن کاملDirect identification of the calcium-binding amino acid, gamma-carboxyglutamate, in mineralized tissue.
A direct approach has been developed for quantitative identification of the calcium-binding amino acid, gamma-carboxyglutamate, in proteins. This should be advantageous for the study of numerous systems where specific roles for the binding of calcium or other divalent cations are suspected. Investigation of mineralized tissue, where calcium-binding proteins are implicated in the mineralization ...
متن کاملThe zebrafish early arrest mutants.
This report describes mutants of the zebrafish having phenotypes causing a general arrest in early morphogenesis. These mutants identify a group of loci making up about 20% of the loci identified by mutants with visible morphological phenotypes within the first day of development. There are 12 Class I mutants, which fall into 5 complementation groups and have cells that lyse before morphologica...
متن کاملThe changing conditions of zebrafish mutants.
I n PNAS, Ni et al. (1) describe a gene trap construct that makes conditional inactivation of genes in zebrafish a reality. This represents a major milestone in zebrafish research. The relatively recent and rapid emergence of zebrafish as a vertebrate model organism has fundamentally been because of its utility in genetic approaches. The generation of mutations and subsequent screening for phen...
