The role of the homeodomain protein Bozozok in zebrafish axis formation.

The International journal of developmental biology - 1 Jan 2001

Solnica-Krezel L, Driever W

Abstract excerpt

The zebrafish bozozok (boz) gene encoding a homeodomain protein (also named Dharma/Nieuwkoid) is required during blastula stages for the formation of a complete Spemann-Mangold gastrula organizer and subsequent development of axial mesoderm and anterior neural structures. Expression of bozin the dorsal yolk syncytial layer (YSL) and overlying marginal blastomeres is activated by beta-catenin. Bozozok itself acts...
