Figure 5. Expression of SOBP-related genes. A: zfp198 mRNA is concentrated in the animal blastomeres at the eight-cell stage (side view). B: zfp198 is expressed throughout the ectoderm of the gastrula (side view). C: At early neural plate, LOC414497 is expressed throughout the neural plate, preplacodal ectoderm (PPE), and dorsal epidermis (anterolateral view). D: At neural tube closure, neural crest and lens placode (Lp) expression of zfp198 becomes apparent (anterolateral view). E–G: At late tail bud, zfp198 (E) and LOC414497 (F) are expressed throughout the brain, retina, placode derivatives (olf, L, crg, oto) and branchial arches, whereas Xt-Sobp (G) is expressed in patches in the brain and in several placode derivatives (olf, crg, oto; side view). H: At larval stages, Xt-Sobp expression extends into the forebrain (side view). I–K: Transverse sections at forebrain (I), hindbrain (J), and spinal (K) levels demonstrate expression of zfg198 and LOC414497 in neural (fb, r, hb, sc), branchial arch, otocyst and somites. L: Transverse section at hindbrain demonstrates Xt-Sobp more restricted expression in lateral hindbrain, otocyst, and cranial ganglia. |
