Fig. 2. Xrx1 inhibits neurogenesis. The effects of Xrx1 overexpression on (A) X-ngnr-1 (stage 12), (B,D,E) X-Delta-1 (stage 13), (C) N-tubulin (stage 16), (F) Sox2 (stage 13) and (G) XBF-1 (stage 13) are shown. (D,E) Transverse sections at the level of the anterior (D) and posterior (E) neural plate. The black arrowhead indicates the anterior expression domain of X-Delta-1, while the white arrowhead indicates the repression of the corresponding domain in the injected side. (H) Stage 16 embryo injected with 150 pg of XBF-1 RNA showing suppression of endogenous N-tubulin (white arrowheads) as well as ectopic N-tubulin activation at the border of the injected area (arrow). A-C,F,G,H Frontodorsal views. (I,K) Stage 16 embryos co-injected with either X-ngnr-1 and lacZ (I) or X-ngnr-1, Xrx1 and lacZ (K); lateral views, anterior towards the left. (J,L) Animal caps co-injected with either X-ngnr-1 and lacZ (J) or X-ngnr-1 and Xrx1 (L) analyzed at stage 16. Both in whole embryos and in animal caps Xrx1 inhibits N-tubulin expression induced by X-ngnr-1. Red staining represents expression of co-injected lacZ lineage tracer. |

Fig. 7. Xrx1 induces Xhairy2 but does not affect several other markers in animal caps. Xrx1 injected animal caps were dissected at stage 9, cultured to stage 17 and analyzed for the expression of the indicated genes. The column on the right (Embryo) shows the expression of the indicated genes in control embryos. |
