On the genetic basis of pigment pattern diversification in Danio fish

open access: yes, 2023
The genetic basis of morphological variation provides a major topic in evolutionary developmental biology. Fish of the genus Danio, which includes the model species zebrafish, Danio rerio, provide a system for studying the diversification of pigment ...

Pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmented pattern dystrophy of retinal pigment epithelium. [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Ophthalmology, 1983
The 2 rare entities, pigmentary dispersion syndrome and pigmented pattern dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, were found in a young male patient. Visual function was undisturbed.

Gene structure of the goldfish agouti-signaling protein: A putative role in the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern of fish

open access: yes, 2005
One of the most successful chromatic adaptations in vertebrates is the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern in which the dorsal skin is darkly colored, whereas the ventrum is light.

Post-embryonic nerve-associated precursors to adult pigment cells: genetic requirements and dynamics of morphogenesis and differentiation.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2011
The pigment cells of vertebrates serve a variety of functions and generate a stunning variety of patterns. These cells are also implicated in human pathologies including melanoma.

Genetics and Evolution of Pigment Patterns in Fish [PDF]

open access: yesPigment Cell Research, 2004
Vertebrate pigment patterns are both beautiful and fascinating. In mammals and birds, pigment patterns are likely to reflect the spatial regulation of melanocyte physiology, via alteration of the colour‐type of the melanin synthesized. In fish, however, pigment patterns predominantly result from positioning of differently coloured chromatophores ...

Studies of pigment transfer between Xenopus laevis melanophores and fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo

open access: yes, 2006
Frog melanophores rapidly change colour by dispersion or aggregation of melanosomes. A long-term colour change exists where melanosomes are released from melanophores and transferred to surrounding skin cells.

Formation of the adult pigment pattern in zebrafish requires leopard and obelix dependent cell interactions

open access: yes, 2003
Colour patterns are a prominent feature of many animals and are of high evolutionary relevance. In zebrafish, the adult pigment pattern comprises alternating stripes of two pigment cell types, melanophores and xanthophores.

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created
