The Notch-target gene hairy2a impedes the involution of notochordal cells by promoting floor plate fates in Xenopus embryos.
We have previously shown that the early Xenopus organiser contains cells equally potent to give rise to notochord or floor plate, and that Notch signalling triggers a binary decision, favouring the floor plate fate at the expense of the notochord. Now, we present evidence that Delta1 is the ligand that triggers the binary switch, which is executed through the Notch-mediated activation of hairy2...
متن کاملMagnesium deficiency in embryos of Xenopus laevis.
Embryos of Xenopus laevis reared in media with various low (less than or equal to 10(-5) M) magnesium ion concentrations will exhibit differing degrees of a potentially lethal magnesium starvation syndrome depending on the ion concentration and rearing temperature. The higher the rearing temperature or the lower the magnesium ion content of the medium the more severely the syndrome will be expr...
متن کاملRNA sorting in Xenopus oocytes and embryos.
Cytoplasmic localization of mRNA molecules has emerged as a powerful mechanism for generating spatially restricted gene expression. This process is an important contributor to cell polarity in both somatic cells and oocytes, and can provide the basis for patterning during embryonic development. In vertebrates, this phenomenon is perhaps best documented in the frog, Xenopus laevis, where polarit...
متن کاملSCL specifies hematopoietic mesoderm in Xenopus embryos.
Targeted gene disruption experiments in the mouse have demonstrated an absolute requirement for several transcription factors for the development of hematopoietic progenitors during embryogenesis. Disruption of the basic helix-loop-helix gene SCL (stem cell leukemia) causes a block early in the hematopoietic program with defects in all hematopoietic lineages. To understand how SCL participates ...
متن کاملInducible gene expression in transgenic Xenopus embryos
The amphibian Xenopus laevis has been successfully used for many years as a model system for studying vertebrate development. Because of technical limitations, however, molecular investigations have mainly concentrated on early stages. We have developed a straightforward method for stage-specific induction of gene expression in transgenic Xenopus embryos [1] [2]. This method is based on the Xen...
