Q

Dale and Slack (more experiments)

true or false
the dorsal-most vegetal cells had the greatest ability to induce dorsal mesoderm, while the ventral-most vegetal cell had the least ability to induce ventral mesoderm

Study These Flashcards
A

False (both had greatest ability)

25
Dale and Slack (more experiments) even at very early stage, the vegetal cells must be secreting a _______ signal
mesoderm-inducing
26
Dale and Slack (more experiments) they suggested a _________ in dorsal mesoderm inductive ability.
dorsal to ventral gradient
27
Dale and Slack (more experiments) the dorsal-most vegetal cells that induced dorsal mesoderm (the primary organizer) was named the _______ center in honor of the developmental biologist _______
Nieuwkoop
28
Nieuwkoop center: __________; nanggagaling sa kanila ang signals that will convert the mesoderm cell above it into ________
endodermal cells, dorsal mesoderm
29
Dale and Slack (more experiments) what are the molecular inducers of mesoderm formation? from dorsal-most cells:_______
dorsal mesoderm cells
30
Dale and Slack (more experiments) what are the molecular inducers of mesoderm formation? _______: overlap of the presence of TGF-Beta signal and Beta-catenin accumulation
N. center
31
Dale and Slack (more experiments) what are the molecular inducers of mesoderm formation? The dorsal side is distinguished molecularly: presence of _______
Beta-catenin
32
Dale and Slack (more experiments) what are the molecular inducers of mesoderm formation? Ventral side: ________: mesodermalizing gene
siamois gene
33
Ventral side: siamois gene; mesodermalizing gene silent: ______ (silences them)
Tcf-3
34
Dorsal side: siamois gene _______: activate the gene
Beta-catenin
35
_________: act as transcription factor the will help produce goosecoid gene
Siamois protein
36
siamois protein: act as transcription factor the will help produce ______
goosecoid gene
37
it is believed to be the determinant of organizer function. there may be some homology between fly and vertebrate goosecoid function
Goosecoid
38
what are the properties of organizer tissue
1. ability to become dorsal mesoderm 2. ability to convert surrounding mesoderm into lateral mesoderm 3. ability to dorsalize the ectoderm into neural ectoderm 4. ability to initiate movements of gastrulation 5. ability to induce neurulation (bcdii)
39
Beta-catenin locate at _______ side to perform its function
dorsal side
40
________: natural inactivator of Beta-catenin
Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-3)
41
________:upstream; inhibitor or GSK- 3
Disheveled (Dsh) proteins
42
During _______: Dsh undergoes radical rearrangement; goes to dorsal side
cortical rotation
43
Inhibition of _______ leads to activatipn of Beta-catenin
GSK-3
44
why is GSK-3 inhibition important which leads to activation of Beta- catenin?
Beta-catenin is a determinant of dorsal mesodermal cell: important because dorsal mesodermal cells become the chordamesoderm that will become the primary organizer
45
In Xenopus, _______ and ____ (found in the endodermal area) act synergistically with Beta- catenin to activate a gradient of Xnr proteins across the endoderm, highest dorsally.
VegT and Vg1
46
Xnr proteins: ______ ______ ______; concentration gradient in the endoderm Highest Xnr in the _______ area: overlap of VegT, Vg1 and Beta-catenin
Xenopus nodal related proteins, dorsal area
47
Ventral mesoderm expresses _______ and ______
BMP4 and Xwnt-8
48
BMP-4: ____________; found in the bone first
Bone morphogenetic protein
49
Xwnt-8 : _________
Xenopus wingless
50
______ represses BMP-4 and Xwnt-8 are expressed in a ________
High Xnr, ventral to dorsal gradient
51
How is the Xnr activated?
synergistic relationship with Beta-catenin and VegT and Vg1
52
neurulation as induced by chordamesoderm - very specific order of involution of cells - or the mesoderm locates itself under the _____
animal pole
53
if chordamesoderm already underlying the ectoderm, chordamesoderm will differentiate into the _______
notochord
54
Chordamesoderm - now starts to change in shape: become cuboidal than columnar -will form the neural plate than tube -in between the ectoderm that forms the epidermis and the ectoderm that forms the neural plate is the layer of cells that will form the neural crest
True
55
_____: form from the margin, formed separately
mesoderm
56
______: also; will have very different fate that's why formed separately; very mesenchymal
neural crest
57
Choramesoderm -Schwann cells - pigment cells - parts of the adrenal medulla - nerves of sympathetic nervous system - chordamesoderm when it underlies the ectoderm, transforms by induction
True
58
during gastrulation, cells are placed in new neighborhoods to interact with each other to interact in a new way -chordamesoderm: brings about neurulation
True
