Spatially and temporally-restricted expression of two T-box genes during zebrafish embryogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
T-box genes are conserved in all animal species. We have identified two members of the T-box gene family from the zebrafish, Danio rerio. Zf-tbr1 and zf-tbx3 share high amino acid identity with human, murine, chick and Xenopus orthologs and are expressed in specific regions during zebrafish development.

Expression of hsp90 Alpha and hsp90 Beta during Xenopus laevis Embryonic Development
Background: Members of the eukaryotic Hsp90 family function as important molecular chaperones in the assembly, folding and activation of cellular signaling in development. Two hsp90 genes, hsp90 alpha and hsp90 beta, have been identified in fish and homeothermic vertebrates but not in poikilothermic vertebrates. In the present study, the expression of hsp90 alpha and hsp90 beta genes in Xenopus...
متن کاملA transgene containing lacZ is expressed in primary sensory neurons in zebrafish.
In order to screen for developmentally active chromosomal domains during zebrafish embryogenesis, we generated transgenic fish by microinjecting two different lacZ reporter constructs into fertilized eggs. Transgenic fish were screened among the progeny of injected fish (F0) crossed to non-injected fish. Groups of 15 to 20 progeny of each cross were tested for lacZ expression and/or transmissio...
متن کاملA zebrafish Id homologue and its pattern of expression during embryogenesis
We describe the cloning, sequencing and pattern of transcript distribution during embryogenesis of a zebrafish Id homologue that we have called Id6. Transcription of the gene is spatially regulated, and its pattern of transcription shows considerable overlaps with those of other zebrafish genes with homology to Drosophila neurogenic genes, such as Notch and Delta. Since all these genes are coex...
متن کاملThe murine homeobox-containing gene Hox-1.4 is expressed in restricted patterns during embryogenesis
The homeobox, a highly conserved 183 bp sequence found in several classes of development-regulating genes in Drosophila, is also conserved in the genome of organisms as evolutionarily diverse as sea urchins and mammals (reviewed by Gehring, 1987; Scott et al., 1989). Genes containing this domain are known to function as transcription factors, regulating the expression of target genes. The seque...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of Tbx5 in zebrafish embryogenesis
T-box (tbx) genes constitute a large family of transcriptional regulators involved in developmental patterning processes. In tetrapods, tbx5 has been implicated in specifying forelimb type identity. Here, we report the cloning of the zebrafish tbx5.1 gene and characterise its expression during zebrafish embryogenesis and early larval development of wild type and mutant embryos that affect pecto...
