Wnt/Frizzled Activation of Rho Regulates Vertebrate Gastrulation and Requires a Novel Formin Homology Protein Daam1
Wnt signaling via the Frizzled (Fz) receptor controls cell polarity and movement during development, but the molecular nature of Wnt/Fz polarity signal transduction remains poorly defined. Here we report that in human cells and during Xenopus embryogenesis, Wnt/Fz signaling activates the small GTPase Rho, a key regulator of cytoskeleton architecture. Wnt/Fz activation of Rho requires the cytopl...
متن کاملExpression of CAP2 during early Xenopus embryogenesis.
We have cloned and characterized a second member of the Xenopus CAP (cyclase associated protein) gene family. xCAP2 demonstrates greater restriction of expression than its homolog, xCAP1, and is differentially expressed throughout early embryogenesis. Although present as a maternal transcript, CAP2 comes to be expressed in the anterior-most mesoderm/endoderm during late gastrulation, in paraxia...
متن کاملID gene activity during Xenopus embryogenesis
The activity of bHLH transcription factors that are involved in cell determination and differentiation is inhibited by Ids, HLH proteins lacking the basic amino acid sequence element. In order to determine the role of Id during development, we have isolated and characterized the Id genes expressed in Xenopus embryos. Three cDNAs were characterized: XIdIa and XIdIb, which are transcribed from on...
متن کاملA Xenopus type I activin receptor mediates mesodermal but not neural specification during embryogenesis.
Activins and other ligands in the TGFbeta superfamily signal through a heteromeric complex of receptors. Disruption of signaling by a truncated type II activin receptor, XActRIIB (previously called XAR1), blocks mesoderm induction and promotes neuralization in Xenopus embryos. We report the cloning and characterization of a type I activin receptor, XALK4. Like truncated XActRIIB, a truncated mu...
متن کاملCoactivation of Rac and Rho by Wnt/Frizzled signaling is required for vertebrate gastrulation.
Wnt/Frizzled (Fz) signaling controls cell polarity/movements during vertebrate gastrulation via incompletely defined mechanisms. We demonstrated previously that Wnt/Fz activation of Rho, a GTPase and regulator of cytoskeletal architecture, is essential for vertebrate gastrulation. Here we report that in mammalian cells and Xenopus embryos, Wnt/Fz signaling coactivates Rho and Rac, another GTPas...
