Induction of neural crest in Xenopus by transcription factor AP2alpha.

We report experiments with Xenopus laevis, using both intact embryos and ectodermal explants, showing that the transcription factor AP2alpha is positively regulated by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Wnt signaling, and that this activation is an essential step in the induction of neural crest (NC). Ectopic expression of AP2alpha is sufficient to activate high-level expression of NC-specifi...

Neural crest induction in Xenopus: evidence for a two-signal model.

We have investigated the molecular interactions underlying neural crest formation in Xenopus. Using chordin overexpression to antagonize endogenous BMP signaling in whole embryos and explants, we demonstrate that such inhibition alone is insufficient to account for neural crest induction in vivo. We find, however, that chordin-induced neural plate tissue can be induced to adopt neural crest fat...

Kremen is required for neural crest induction in Xenopus and promotes LRP6-mediated Wnt signaling.

Kremen 1 and 2 (Krm1/2) are transmembrane receptors for Wnt antagonists of the Dickkopf (Dkk) family and function by inhibiting the Wnt co-receptors LRP5/6. Here we show that Krm2 functions independently from Dkks during neural crest (NC) induction in Xenopus. Krm2 is co-expressed with, and regulated by, canonical Wnts. Krm2 is differentially expressed in the NC, and morpholino-mediated Krm2 kn...

Essential role of AWP1 in neural crest specification in Xenopus.

The neural crest (NC) comprises a transient and multipotent embryonic cell population, which gives rise to a wide variety of cell types, including craniofacial cartilage, melanocytes, and neurons and glia of the peripheral nervous system. The NC is induced by the integrated action of Wnt, FGF, and BMP signaling, and its cell fates are subsequently specified by a genetic cascade of specific tran...

Xenopus cadherin-11 restrains cranial neural crest migration and influences neural crest specification.

Cranial neural crest (CNC) cells migrate extensively, typically in a pattern of cell streams. In Xenopus, these cells express the adhesion molecule Xcadherin-11 (Xcad-11) as they begin to emigrate from the neural fold. In order to study the function of this molecule, we have overexpressed wild-type Xcad-11 as well as Xcad-11 mutants with cytoplasmic (deltacXcad-11) or extracellular (deltaeXcad-...
