Q

What is the difference in drosophila/vertebrate cardiogenesis?

A

Linear heart tube becomes dorsal vessel - no loop or multichambered occurs

16
Q

Outline heart looping

A

Loops to right - the first break in left/right symmetry

17
Q

What are the suggested mechanisms involved in heart looping?

A

Asymmetric cell division/death, changes in cell shape triggered by asymmetric distribution of microtubules/actin bundles

18
Q

What molecules are only expressed on the left side?

A

Lefty and nodal - two TGF-beta-related molecules only expressed on left side

19
Q

How is left-right asymmetry in the embryo initially setup?

A

Activin receptor Iia signalling inhibits SHh expression on the right side of the embryo

20
Q

What does iv stand for?

A

inversus viscerum

21
Q

What does inv stand for?

A

inversion of embryonic turning

22
Q

What do iv mutations cause?

A

Random reversal of heart looping

23
Q

What do inv mutations cause?

A

Compelte reversal of heart looping

24
Q

What does iv code for?

A

Dynein proteins involved in movement of cilia

25
Q

What does inv code for?

A

Inversin - protein containing ankyrin repeats found in cilia

26
Q

What family are dHand and eHand?

A

bHLH transcription factors
