Fig. 7. Involvement of convergent extension in the positioning of Xpax2 expression and the differential activities of the ICDs of XFGFR1 and XFGFR4. (A,B) Xpax2 expression was shifted anteriorly by caCDC42 under the regulation of a CMV promoter (A), whereas dnCDC42 mRNA induced a posterior shift (B). (C) Summary of injections of CDC42 constructs. (D,E) Dimerization of iXFGFRs was induced by AP20187 at stage 11.5 in animal caps that had been injected with noggin mRNA. Cap elongation was assessed based on the ratio of the maximum width to the minimum width of the cap at stage 19 (E). Data are expressed as means +/- s.d.
