Msx1 is required for dorsal diencephalon patterning.
The dorsal midline of the neural tube has recently emerged as a major signaling center for dorsoventral patterning. Msx genes are expressed at the dorsal midline, although their function at this site remains unknown. Using Msx1(nlacZ) mutant mice, we show that the normal expression domain of Msx1 is interrupted in the pretectum of mutant embryos. Morphological and gene expression data further i...
متن کاملThe decapentaplegic gene is required for dorsal-ventral patterning of the Drosophila embryo.
The decapentaplegic gene (dpp), which encodes a growth factor-like protein (Padgett et al. 1987), is implicated in several morphogenetic events in Drosophila melanogaster. We define here a novel embryonic function encoded by dppHin+ alleles of the dpp gene. dppHin null homozygotes die as ventralized embryos. dppHin activity is not required in the maternal germ line since lack of dppHin function...
متن کاملFgf3 is required for dorsal patterning and morphogenesis of the inner ear epithelium.
The inner ear, which contains sensory organs specialized for hearing and balance, develops from an ectodermal placode that invaginates lateral to hindbrain rhombomeres (r) 5-6 to form the otic vesicle. Under the influence of signals from intra- and extraotic sources, the vesicle is molecularly patterned and undergoes morphogenesis and cell-type differentiation to acquire its distinct functional...
متن کاملThe Drosophila dCREB-A gene is required for dorsal/ventral patterning of the larval cuticle.
We report on the characterization of the first loss-of-function mutation in a Drosophila CREB gene, dCREB-A. In the epidermis, dCREB-A is required for patterning cuticular structures on both dorsal and ventral surfaces since dCREB-A mutant larvae have only lateral structures around the entire circumference of each segment. Based on results from epistasis tests with known dorsal/ventral patterni...
متن کاملCytoplasmic polyadenylation of Toll mRNA is required for dorsal-ventral patterning in Drosophila embryogenesis.
Toll encodes a receptor that is critical for dorsal-ventral patterning in the early Drosophila embryo. Previous data have suggested that the accumulation of Toll protein in the embryo temporally correlates with elongation of the poly (A) tail of the message. Here, we demonstrate that Toll mRNA is translationally activated by regulated cytoplasmic polyadenylation. We also identify a 192 nucleoti...
