Journal ArticleDOI
Randomization of Left–Right Asymmetry due to Loss of Nodal Cilia Generating Leftward Flow of Extraembryonic Fluid in Mice Lacking KIF3B Motor Protein
Shigenori Nonaka,Yosuke Tanaka,Yasushi Okada,Sen Takeda,Akihiro Harada,Yoshimitsu Kanai,Mizuho A. Kido,Nobutaka Hirokawa +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that KIF3B is essential for the left-right determination through intraciliary transportation of materials for ciliogenesis of motile primary cilia that could produce a gradient of putative morphogen along the left–right axis in the node.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of left–right patterning of the mouse embryo by artificial nodal flow
TL;DR: An artificial rightward flow that was sufficiently rapid to reverse the intrinsic leftward nodal flow resulted in reversal of situs in wild-type embryos and provides the first direct evidence for the role of mechanical fluid flow in L–R patterning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted Disruption of Mouse Conventional Kinesin Heavy Chain kif5B, Results in Abnormal Perinuclear Clustering of Mitochondria
Yosuke Tanaka,Yoshimitsu Kanai,Yasushi Okada,Shigenori Nonaka,Sen Takeda,Akihiro Harada,Nobutaka Hirokawa +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that kinesin is essential for mitochondrial and lysosomal dispersion rather than for the Golgi-to-ER traffic in these cells, and that KIF5B is associated with mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left-Right Asymmetry and Kinesin Superfamily Protein KIF3A: New Insights in Determination of Laterality and Mesoderm Induction by kif3A−/− Mice Analysis
TL;DR: Results suggest that KIF3A might be involved in mesodermal patterning and in turn neurogenesis, and this work aims to elucidate the function of the kif3A gene in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal Nodal Flow Precedes Situs Inversus in iv and inv mice
TL;DR: Results consistently support the hypothesis that the nodal flow produces the gradient of putative morphogen and triggers the first L-R determination event.
