Fig. 3. Inca expression in NC depends on Tfap2a. (A) Northern
analysis of animal cap RNA from embryos injected with Chd, Chd+Wnt3a, or
Chd+Wnt3a+dnTfap2a (Chd+Wnt+
AD) and probed for Xenopus Inca,
with 18S rRNA as a loading control. Expression induced by Chd+Wnt is blocked
by dnTfap2a. (B-G) Whole-mount in situ hybridizations showing zebrafish
inca1 expression in wild type (B-D) and low mutants (E-G).
B,E are lateral views and C,F dorsal views at the 10-somite stage. D,G are
lateral views at 36 hpf. inca1 expression is reduced at 10 somites
and 36 hpf. Numbers indicate presumptive pharyngeal arches. oe, olfactory
epithelia.
