The Transcriptional Mediator Component Med12 Is Required for Hindbrain Boundary Formation
BACKGROUND Rhombomere boundaries form during hindbrain segmentation and are critical for maintaining segmental integrity and regulating migration in the hindbrain. Some genetic models affecting hindbrain boundary formation have been described, but involvement of components of the transcriptional mediator complex in boundary formation has not reported so far. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The kto/med12 m...
متن کاملThe homeoprotein Xiro1 is required for midbrain-hindbrain boundary formation.
The isthmic organizer, which patterns the anterior hindbrain and midbrain, is one of the most studied secondary organizers. In recent years, new insights have been reported on the molecular nature of its morphogenetic activity. Studies in chick, mouse and zebrafish have converged to show that mutually repressive interactions between the homeoproteins encoded by Otx and Gbx genes position this o...
متن کاملGbx2 and Fgf8 are sequentially required for formation of the midbrain-hindbrain compartment boundary.
In vertebrates, the common expression border of two homeobox genes, Otx2 and Gbx2, demarcates the prospective midbrain-hindbrain border (MHB) in the neural plate at the end of gastrulation. The presence of a compartment boundary at the MHB has been demonstrated, but the mechanism and timing of its formation remain unclear. We show by genetic inducible fate mapping using a Gbx2(CreER) knock-in m...
متن کاملNotch signalling stabilises boundary formation at the midbrain-hindbrain organiser.
The midbrain-hindbrain interface gives rise to a boundary of particular importance in CNS development as it forms a local signalling centre, the proper functioning of which is essential for the formation of tectum and cerebellum. Positioning of the mid-hindbrain boundary (MHB) within the neuroepithelium is dependent on the interface of Otx2 and Gbx2 expression domains, yet in the absence of eit...
متن کاملThe Rtf1 component of the Paf1 transcriptional elongation complex is required for ubiquitination of histone H2B.
In yeast cells, the Rtf1 and Paf1 components of the Paf1 transcriptional elongation complex are important for recruitment of Set1, the histone H3-lysine 4 (H3-Lys4) methylase, to a highly localized domain at the 5' portion of active mRNA coding regions. Here, we show that Rtf1 is essential for global methylation of H3-Lys4 and H3-Lys79, but not H3-Lys36. This role of Rtf1 resembles that of Rad6...
