Competition and feeding ecology in two sympatric Xenopus species (Anura: Pipidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The widespread African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) occurs in sympatry with the IUCN Endangered Cape platanna (Xenopus gilli) throughout its entire range in the south-western Cape, South Africa.

Xenopus laevis Oocytes Preparation for in-Cell EPR Spectroscopy
Bio-Protocol, 2018 One of the most exciting perspectives for studying bio-macromolecules comes from the emerging field of in-cell spectroscopy, which enables to determine the structure and dynamics of bio-macromolecules in the cell. In-cell electron paramagnetic resonance (

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.

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.

Patterns of tubb2b Promoter-Driven Fluorescence in the Forebrain of Larval Xenopus laevis
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 Microtubules are essential components of the cytoskeleton of all eukaryotic cells and consist of α- and β-tubulin heterodimers. Several tissue-specific isotypes of α- and β-tubulins, encoded by distinct genes, have been described in vertebrates.

A NuRD Complex from Xenopus laevis Eggs Is Essential for DNA Replication during Early Embryogenesis
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: DNA replication in the embryo of Xenopus laevis changes dramatically at the mid-blastula transition (MBT), with Y RNA-independent random initiation switching to Y RNA-dependent initiation at specific origins.

Phosphorylation by Cdk1 increases the binding of Eg5 to microtubules in vitro and in Xenopus egg extract spindles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND:Motor proteins from the kinesin-5 subfamily play an essential role in spindle assembly during cell division of most organisms. These motors crosslink and slide microtubules in the spindle.
