Pharmacological Modulation of Melanocortin 1 Receptor Signaling by Mrap Proteins in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The melanocortin system consists of five G protein–coupled receptors (MC1R-MC5R), the bidirectional endogenous ligands (MSH and Agouti families), and accessory proteins (MRAP1 and MRAP2).

The methyltransferase activity of Dot1L is essential for Xenopus tropicalis tadpole development and survival [PDF]
Cell & BioscienceEpigenetic modifications of histones play key roles in transcriptional regulation by diverse transcription factors. One such modification is the methylation of histone H3 at lysine 79 (H3K79).

Characterization of Xenopus tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2: a role in regulating matrix metalloproteinase activity during development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Frog metamorphosis is totally dependent on thyroid hormone (T3) and mimics the postembryonic period around birth in mammals. It is an excellent model to study the molecular basis of postembryonic development in vertebrate.

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 tropicalis Genome Re-Scaffolding and Re-Annotation Reach the Resolution Required for In Vivo ChIA-PET Analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Genome-wide functional analyses require high-resolution genome assembly and annotation. We applied ChIA-PET to analyze gene regulatory networks, including 3D chromosome interactions, underlying thyroid hormone (TH) signaling in the frog Xenopus ...
