Abstract excerpt
PV.1, a homeotic protein, ventralizes dorsal mesoderm and inhibits neuralization by mediating BMP-4 signaling in Xenopus embryo. In our previous report antimorphic PV.1 causes a secondary axis by inducing the ectopic organizer. We analyzed the structure of this transcription factor through domain level assessment. In a phenotype-inducing test, half of the N-terminus at the N-terminal side was unessential for...
