Obtaining Xenopus laevis Eggs [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2020
Nearly a century ago, studies by Lancelot Hogben and others demonstrated that ovulation in female Xenopus laevis can be induced via injection of mammalian gonadotropins into the dorsal lymph sac, allowing for egg production throughout the year independent of the normal reproductive cycles.

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.

The TMEM16A channel mediates the fast polyspermy block in Xenopus laevis

bioRxiv, 2018
In externally fertilizing animals, such as sea urchins and frogs, prolonged depolarization of the egg immediately after fertilization inhibits the entry of additional sperm – a phenomenon known as the fast block to polyspermy. In the African clawed frog,

Multiple massive domestication and recent amplification of Kolobok superfamily transposons in the clawed frog Xenopus

Zoological Letters, 2018
Background DNA transposons are generally destroyed by mutations and have short lifespans in hosts, as they are neutral or harmful to the host and therefore not conserved by natural selection.

Daphnia magna and Xenopus laevis as in vivo models to probe toxicity and uptake of quantum dots functionalized with gH625

International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2017
The use of quantum dots (QDs) for nanomedicine is hampered by their potential toxicologic effects and difficulties with delivery into the cell interior.

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.

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.
