Fig. 5. Co-expression of zebrafish goosecoid and ntl RNAs does not
induce cardiac (muscle-specific) actin expression in Xenopus animal
caps. Embryos at the 1-cell stage were injected with RNA encoding
zebrafish goosecoid (1 ng) and/or ntl (0.4 ng) and/or Xenopus noggin
(100 pg) as indicated. Animal caps were dissected at the mid-blastula
stage and cultured to stage 28, when they were analyzed for
expression of actin genes by RNAase protection. 0.4 ng ntl did not
induce expression of muscle-specific actin genes, but did cause
formation of ventral mesoderm as judged by morphological and
histological criteria (not shown). Co-expression of noggin and ntl,
but not goosecoid and ntl, induces expression of muscle-specific
actin RNA. Image published in: O'Reilly MA et al. (1995) Copyright © 1995. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License. Larger Image Printer Friendly View |
