inhibits the activity of BMP4, dorsalizing mesoderm into notochord and paraxial mesoderm for the head region.

67
Q

to dorsalize mesoderm into notochord and paraxial mesoderm in caudal region of the embryo.

Brachyury (T) gene

69

A

Dorsalizing ( paraxial mesoderm and notochord.)

72
Q

Why was goosecoid used to dorsalize the embryo/ whats the purpose of dorsalizing the embryo?

A

So that the notochord is positioned in the back of the baby not the stomach

73
Q

_____secreted by the node and primitive streak, establishes ______,

A

FGF8
Nodal

74
Q

What secretes FGF8?

A

Node and primitive streak

75
Q

FGF8 secreted by the node and primitive streak, establishes Nodal and then nodal proteins …

A

accumulates on the left side of
the node.

76
Q

What is Nodal?

A

a member of TGF-β superfamily

77
Q

Why are they called “LEFTY-1” and “ LEFTY-2” ?

A

Because they can only be found on the left side

78
Q

As the neural plate starts to form, neurotransmitter serotonin (5HT)

A

increases in concentration on the left side

79
Q

As the neural plate starts to form, neurotransmitter serotonin (5HT) increases in concentration on the left side. Why?

A

because of its metabolism by MAO on the right.

80
Q

What happens under the influence of 5HT?

A

FGF8 induces expression of Nodal and LEFTY-2 in the lateral
plate mesoderm, whereas LEFTY-1 is expressed on left side of the ventral aspect of the neural tube

81
Q

What also participates in induction of Nodal, LEFTY-1, and LEFTY-2?

A

Products of Brachyury (T), expressed in the notochord

82
Q

Expression of Nodal and LEFTY-2 regulates…

A

expression of the transcription factor PITX 2, which, through further downstream effectors, establishes left-sidedness.

83
Q

What establishes left sidedness through further downstream effectors?

A

PITX2

84
Q

where is SHH expressed?

A

In the notochord

85
Q

SHH possibly serves as a

A

as a midline barrier and also represses expression of left-sided genes on the right.

86
Q

Expression of the transcription factor Snail may regulate

A

downstream genes important for establishing right-sidedness.
