Abstract excerpt
Pou5f1/Oct4 is a transcription factor required for pluripotency of embryonic stem cells in mammals. Zebrafish pou5f1 deficient maternal and zygotic spiel ohne grenzen (MZspg) mutant embryos develop severe gastrulation defects, are dorsalized, and defective in endoderm formation. Here we analyze in detail gastrulation defects, which are manifested by a severe delay in epiboly progression. All three embryonic...
