Conserved Role of nanos Proteins in Germ Cell Development
Masayuki Tsuda,Yumiko Sasaoka,Makoto Kiso,Kuniya Abe,Seiki Haraguchi,Satoru Kobayashi,Yumiko Saga +6 more
TL;DR: Although mice and flies differ in their mechanisms for germ cell specification, there seems to be conserved function for nanos proteins among invertebrates and vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesp2: a novel mouse gene expressed in the presegmented mesoderm and essential for segmentation initiation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that MesP2 controls sclerotomal polarity by regulating the signaling systems mediated by notch-delta and FGF, which are essential for segmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
MesP1: a novel basic helix-loop-helix protein expressed in the nascent mesodermal cells during mouse gastrulation
Yumiko Saga,Naomi Hata,Satoru Kobayashi,Terry Magnuson,Michael F. Seldin,Michael F. Seldin,Makoto Mark Taketo +6 more
TL;DR: The amino acid sequence and its expression pattern suggest that MesP1 plays an important role in the development of the nascent mesoderm including PGC, which is similar to that of PGC detected by the alkaline phosphatase activity.
