FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

The development of free-swimming in Xenopus laevis larvae [PDF]
, 2013 In Xenopus laevis frog tadpoles, highly self-motive, free-swimming behaviour emerges at the onset of feeding. This is in contrast to the earlier post-hatched larval form, which is capable of escape swimming when stimulated, but normally lies dormant.

Augmenting and Assaying Nav1.1 Protein Quantity for Dravet Syndrome Therapy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy predominantly caused by heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in SCN1A, which encodes Nav1.1. Conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in SCN1A were validated to regulate translation in reporter assays, demonstrating the therapeutic viability of increasing Nav1.1 from ...

Characterisation and ontogeny of natural killer cells in Xenopus laevis [PDF]
, 2002 The initial aim of the work described in this Thesis was to investigate the lymphoid organ distribution, phenotype and function of the lymphocyte population identified by candidate anti-Xenopus natural killer (NK) cell monoclonal antibodies (mAb's ...

Evaluation of the genotoxic and teratogenic potential of a municipal sludge and sludge-amended soil using the amphibian Xenopus laevis and the tobacco: Nicotiana tabacum L. var. xanthi Dulieu [PDF]
, 2003 The toxic, genotoxic and teratogenicpotential of amunicipal sewage sludge was assessed using the micronucleus assay on the larvae of the amphibianXenopuslaevis and with the tobacco somatic mutation test using the yellow–green xanthiDulieu mutant a1+/a1 ...

microPublication BiologyTc1/mariner transposons found in salmoniform fish have been identified in both closely and distantly related fish species, suggesting that horizontal gene transfer may have occurred. However, the vectors of this process remain unknown.

Prevalence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Xenopus collected in Africa (1871-2000) and in California (2001-2010). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 International trade of the invasive South African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), a subclinical carrier of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatis (Bd) has been proposed as a major means of introduction of Bd into naïve, susceptible amphibian ...

Xenopus pancreas development [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2009 AbstractUnderstanding how the pancreas develops is vital to finding new treatments for a range of pancreatic diseases, including diabetes and pancreatic cancer. Xenopus is a relatively new model organism for the elucidation of pancreas development, and has already made contributions to the field.
