Fig. 1. Analysis of Phox2b regulatory regions in transgenic mice. (A) The
Phox2b locus and lacZ reporter constructs used in transgenic
mouse assay. Black boxes represent Phox2b exons I, II, and III; the
red box represents the ß-globin (ß-glo) minimum promoter. (B,D)
Dorsal (B) and lateral (D) views of E10.5 embryos carrying the
P2b_10/lacZ construct. lacZ expression is detected by
whole-mount in situ hybridization. (C,E) Dorsal (C) and lateral (E) views of
E10.5 embryos carrying the P2b_2.8/lacZ construct, stained for
ß-gal activity. Expression of P2b_10/lacZ recapitulates most of
Phox2b expression pattern in hindbrain and sensory ganglia
(Pattyn et al., 1997) (B,D),
whereas that of the P2b_2.8/lacZ is selectively restricted to ventral
r4 (C) and not expressed in the ganglia (E). r, rhombomere; nIII, oculomotor
nucleus; nIV, trochlear nucleus; lc, locus c
ruleus; gVII, gIX and gX,
geniculate, petrose and nodose ganglia of cranial nerves, respectively.
