چکیده
embryogenesis. We extended this analysis to other Hox-Exd, or Hox-Hox interactions, revealing specific spatial and temporal dynamics during embryogenesis. Altogether, these results show that the BiFC is a highly sensitive method for analysing protein– protein interactions in the living drosophila embryo. Based on the BiFC approach, we established two genetic strategies to find novel cofactors of AbdA. Our preliminary results suggest that Hox proteins are able to interact with many different types of transcription factors, and we will present some of them to illustrate this point.

N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis of a 6- to 11-cM subregion of the Fah-Hbb interval of mouse chromosome 7: Completed testing of 4557 gametes and deletion mapping and complementation analysis of 31 mutations.
An interval of mouse chromosome (Chr) 7 surrounding the albino (Tyr; c) locus, and corresponding to a long 6- to 11-cM Tyr deletion, has been the target of a large-scale mutagenesis screen with the chemical supermutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). A segment of Chr 7, from a mutagenized genome bred from ENU-treated males, was made hemizygous opposite the long deletion for recognition and recove...
متن کاملAn ENU-Mutagenesis Screen in the Mouse: Identification of Novel Developmental Gene Functions
BACKGROUND Mutagenesis screens in the mouse have been proven useful for the identification of novel gene functions and generation of interesting mutant alleles. Here we describe a phenotype-based screen for recessive mutations affecting embryonic development. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Mice were mutagenized with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) and following incrossing the offspring, embryos w...
متن کاملGenome-Wide ENU Mutagenesis in Combination with High Density SNP Analysis and Exome Sequencing Provides Rapid Identification of Novel Mouse Models of Developmental Disease
BACKGROUND Mice harbouring gene mutations that cause phenotypic abnormalities during organogenesis are invaluable tools for linking gene function to normal development and human disorders. To generate mouse models harbouring novel alleles that are involved in organogenesis we conducted a phenotype-driven, genome-wide mutagenesis screen in mice using the mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). ME...
متن کاملA mutant mouse with a highly specific contextual fear-conditioning deficit found in an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis screen.
Targeted mutagenesis in mice has shown that genes from a wide variety of gene families are involved in memory formation. The efficient identification of genes involved in learning and memory could be achieved by random mutagenesis combined with high-throughput phenotyping. Here, we provide the first report of a mutagenesis screen that has generated memory mutants in the mouse. We tested a group...

BACKGROUND/AIM Phenotype-driven screening of a great pool of randomly mutant mice and subsequent selection of animals showing symptoms equivalent to human kidney diseases may result in the generation of novel suitable models for the study of the pathomechanisms and the identification of genes involved in kidney dysfunction. METHODS We carried out a large-scale analysis of ethylnitrosourea (EN...
