Journal ArticleDOI
Dishevelled 2 is essential for cardiac outflow tract development, somite segmentation and neural tube closure
Natasha S. Hamblet,Nardos Lijam,Pilar Ruiz-Lozano,Jianbo Wang,Yasheng Yang,Zhenge Luo,Lin Mei,Kenneth R. Chien,Daniel J. Sussman,Anthony Wynshaw-Boris,Anthony Wynshaw-Boris +10 more
TL;DR: Dvl2 is essential for normal cardiac morphogenesis, somite segmentation and neural tube closure, and there is functional redundancy between Dvl1 and Dvl2 in some phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation of dishevelled structure and function between flies and mice : isolation and characterization of dvl2
John Klingensmith,Yasheng Yang,Jeffrey D. Axelrod,David R. Beier,Norbert Perrimon,Daniel J. Sussman +5 more
TL;DR: An assay for dsh function in fly embryos is developed, and it is shown that Dvl2 can partially rescue the segmentation defects of embryos devoid of dsh, which encodes a mammalian homolog of dSh which can transduce the Wingless signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of mouse dishevelled-3.
Michael Tsang,Nardos Lijam,Yasheng Yang,David R. Beier,Anthony Wynshaw-Boris,Daniel J. Sussman +5 more
TL;DR: Using RT‐PCR with degenerate primers, another member of the mouse Dishevelled (Dvl) gene family is isolated, Dvl3, which maps to mouse chromosome 16 and shares 64 and 62% identity to Dvl1 and Dvl2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic organization of mouse Dishevelled genes.
TL;DR: Two new genomic loci corresponding to the mouse Dishevelled (Dvl) genes Dvl2 and Dvl3 are reported, which are homologs of the Drosophila dsh segment polarity gene and involved in the Wnt/wingless signal transduction pathway.
