Vg1 has specific processing requirements that restrict its action to body axis patterning centers.

Developmental biology - 1 Oct 2007

Thomas John Terrig, Moos Malcolm

Abstract excerpt

Unlike most transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily members, Vg1 has been shown not to produce gross phenotypic alterations in Xenopus embryos when overexpressed by mRNA injection. Experiments with artificial chimeric constructs and a recently identified second allele of Vg1 suggest that this may be due to unusually stringent requirements for proteolytic processing. We provide biological and...
