VegT activation of the early zygotic gene Xnr5 requires lifting of Tcf-mediated repression in the Xenopus blastula.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Oct 2003

Hilton Emma, Rex Maria, Old Robert

Abstract excerpt

Xenopus Nodal-related (Xnr) 5 is one of the earliest expressed components of a network of TGF-beta factors participating in endoderm and mesoderm formation. Zygotic gene expression is not required for induction of Xnr5; rather, expression is dependent on the maternal factors VegT, localised throu...
