Correction: Desmosomal cadherins in zebrafish epiboly and gastrulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
After the publication of this work [1], we were alerted to an error contained therein that we would hereby like to correct. In our study, we refer to two zebrafish paralogues of desmoglein (Dsg), which we label alpha and beta. We state in the text that they are encoded by ENSDARG00000062750 and ENSDARG00000076426 respectively. In truth, the protein sequence we describe as Dsgα is encoded by ENSDARG00000076945. ENSDARG00000062750 corresponding to position 16,990,224-17,010,459 on the reverse strand of chromosome 20 appears to encode a further Dsg paralogue, which we have not analysed any further. We conclude that the zebrafish genome contains at least two and probably three genes encoding desmoglein paralogues. We regret any inconvenience that this error might have caused. We wish to thank Dr. Alex Horby Christensen for bringing this matter to our attention.

Cell adhesion and the actin cytoskeleton of the enveloping layer in the zebrafish embryo during epiboly.
As the zebrafish embryo undergoes gastrulation and epiboly, the cells of the enveloping layer (EVL) expand, covering the entire yolk cell. During the epiboly process, the EVL cells move as a coherent layer, remaining tightly attached to each other and to the underlying yolk syncytial layer (YSL). In view of the central role of the actin cytoskeleton, in both cell motility and cell-cell adhesion...
متن کاملFlamingo regulates epiboly and convergence/extension movements through cell cohesive and signalling functions during zebrafish gastrulation.
During vertebrate gastrulation, the body axis is established by coordinated and directional movements of cells that include epiboly, involution, and convergence and extension (C&E). Recent work implicates a non-canonical Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway in the regulation of C&E. The Drosophila atypical cadherin Flamingo (Fmi) and its vertebrate homologue Celsr, a 7-pass transmembrane prot...
متن کاملGα12/13 regulate epiboly by inhibiting E-cadherin activity and modulating the actin cytoskeleton
Epiboly spreads and thins the blastoderm over the yolk cell during zebrafish gastrulation, and involves coordinated movements of several cell layers. Although recent studies have begun to elucidate the processes that underlie these epibolic movements, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved remain to be fully defined. Here, we show that gastrulae with altered Galpha(12/13) signaling disp...
متن کاملStructure Zebrafish and Distribution of N-Cadherin in Developing Embryos: Morphogenetic Effects of Ectopic Over-Expression
N-cadherin cDNA was cloned from a zebrafish embryonic cDNA library. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of this molecule (ZN-cadherin) revealed a high degree of homology to N-cadherins of other species, except that its pre-sequence is considerably shorter. Nevertheless, following transfection into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, the expressed protein was functionally active, namely p...
متن کاملE-cadherin is required for gastrulation cell movements in zebrafish
E-cadherin is a member of the classical cadherin family and is known to be involved in cell-cell adhesion and the adhesion-dependent morphogenesis of various tissues. We isolated a zebrafish mutant (cdh1(rk3)) that has a mutation in the e-cadherin/cdh1 gene. The mutation rk3 is a hypomorphic allele, and the homozygous mutant embryos displayed variable phenotypes in gastrulation and tissue morph...
