Fig. 5. RPTPmo embryos show a defect in segment polarity. The expression
patterns of markers of rostral (papC, A,D,G; mespa, B,E,H;
mespb, C,F,I) and caudal (myod, deltaC; see
Fig. 3B and
Fig. 8) half-segment identity
reveal a requirement for RPTP
for the specification of
anteroposterior polarity within somites. (A-C) Wild-type control, (D-F)
RPTPmo embryos, (E-I) aei mutant embryos.
