Zebrafish foxP2 Zinc Finger Nuclease Mutant Has Normal Axon Pathfinding
foxP2, a forkhead-domain transcription factor, is critical for speech and language development in humans, but its role in the establishment of CNS connectivity is unclear. While in vitro studies have identified axon guidance molecules as targets of foxP2 regulation, and cell culture assays suggest a role for foxP2 in neurite outgrowth, in vivo studies have been lacking regarding a role for foxP...
متن کاملZebrafish mutations affecting retinotectal axon pathfinding.
We have isolated mutants in the zebrafish Danio rerio that have defects in axonal connectivity between the retina and tectum. 5-day-old fish larvae were screened by labeling retinal ganglion cells with DiI and DiO and observing their axonal projections to and on the tectum. 82 mutations, representing 13 complementation groups and 6 single allele loci, were found that have defects in retinal gan...
متن کاملccdc80-l1 Is Involved in Axon Pathfinding of Zebrafish Motoneurons
Axon pathfinding is a subfield of neural development by which neurons send out axons to reach the correct targets. In particular, motoneurons extend their axons toward skeletal muscles, leading to spontaneous motor activity. In this study, we identified the zebrafish Ccdc80 and Ccdc80-like1 (Ccdc80-l1) proteins in silico on the basis of their high aminoacidic sequence identity with the human CC...
متن کاملAutonomous zinc-finger nuclease pairs for targeted chromosomal deletion
Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) have been successfully used for rational genome engineering in a variety of cell types and organisms. ZFNs consist of a non-specific FokI endonuclease domain and a specific zinc-finger DNA-binding domain. Because the catalytic domain must dimerize to become active, two ZFN subunits are typically assembled at the cleavage site. The generation of obligate heterodimeri...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of zinc-finger nuclease-induced gene
Zinc-finger nucleases can be designed to cleave arbitrary genomic sequences, which stimulates localized mutagenesis and targeted gene replacement. Both outcomes depend on normal cellular processes of DNA repair, and this study examines the pathways responsible. Gene replacement by homologous recombination depends on the activity of the Rad51 protein. Much of local mutagenesis depends on DNA lig...
