Expression of transposable elements in neural tissues during Xenopus development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Transposable elements comprise a large proportion of animal genomes. Transposons can have detrimental effects on genome stability but also offer positive roles for genome evolution and gene expression regulation.

Xenopus importin beta validates human importin beta as a cell cycle negative regulator

BMC Cell Biology, 2008
Background Human importin beta has been used in all Xenopus laevis in vitro nuclear assembly and spindle assembly studies. This disconnect between species raised the question for us as to whether importin beta was an authentic negative regulator of cell ...

Transcriptome of Xenopus andrei, an octoploid frog, during embryonic development

Data in Brief, 2018
Although polyploidy occurs throughout the fish and amphibian lineages, the Xenopus genus exhibits a high incidence of polyploidy, with 25 out of the 26 known species being polyploid. However, transcriptomic information is currently available for only one

Genetics, Morphology, Advertisement Calls, and Historical Records Distinguish Six New Polyploid Species of African Clawed Frog (Xenopus, Pipidae) from West and Central Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2015
African clawed frogs, genus Xenopus, are extraordinary among vertebrates in the diversity of their polyploid species and the high number of independent polyploidization events that occurred during their diversification.

The effect of running and starvation interventions on atherogenic index and Xbp1 gene expression in the endoplasmic reticulum of liver in non-alcoholic fatty liver rats [PDF]

Medical Laboratory Journal
Background: Running and starvation can have a positive effect on the reticulophagy of the liver tissue. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of running and starvation interventions on the atherogenic index and Xbp1 gene change in ...

Injury-induced cooperation of InhibinβA and JunB is essential for cell proliferation in Xenopus tadpole tail regeneration

Scientific Reports
In animal species that have the capability of regenerating tissues and limbs, cell proliferation is enhanced after wound healing and is essential for the reconstruction of injured tissue.

Modeling congenital kidney diseases in Xenopus laevis

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2019
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) occur in ∼1/500 live births and are a leading cause of pediatric kidney failure. With an average wait time of 3-5 years for a kidney transplant, the need is high for the development of new ...

Conservation and evolutionary divergence in the activity of receptor-regulated smads

EvoDevo, 2012
Background Activity of the Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) pathway is essential to the establishment of body axes and tissue differentiation in bilaterians.

Tissue mechanics drives regeneration of a mucociliated epidermis on the surface of Xenopus embryonic aggregates

Nature Communications, 2020
The role of tissue mechanics in the regeneration of mucociliated epithelium in Xenopus is unclear. Here, the authors show that Xenopus ectoderm aggregates undergo epithelial-like phenotypic transition prior to differentiation of mucus-secreting goblet ...

Xenopus laevis Kif18A is a highly processive kinesin required for meiotic spindle integrity

Biology Open, 2017
The assembly and functionality of the mitotic spindle depends on the coordinated activities of microtubule-associated motor proteins of the dynein and kinesin superfamily.
