Fig. 7. fezl overexpression is sufficient to repress wnt1 and
to restore anterior forebrain gene expression in Headless and/or
Tcf3-deficient embryos. (A-L) Analysis of gene expression. The
hdl/tcf3 morpholino was injected into one- to eightcell-stage embryos
derived from the hsp-gal4/+xuas-fezl cross. These
hdl/tcf3 morphants were subjected to heat shock at
75% epiboly,
analyzed for forebrain gene expression at
28 hpf with various markers (as
specified in each panel) and subsequently genotyped for the presence or
absence of the transgenes. In general, three classes of phenotypes were
observed for each marker, and their percentage distributions in the
non-transgenic heat-shocked hdl/tcf3 morphants versus in the double
transgenic heat-shocked hdl/tcf3 morphants are indicated above each
panel. A-C,G-I are dorsal views and D-F,J-L are lateral views. Insets in G-I
show lateral views of the same embryos. Arrow in C represents residual
wnt1-expressing cells. tel, telencephalon; ba, branchial arches.
