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).

Liver-specific enhancers evolved from independent episodes of MITE domestication in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

Mobile DNA
Transposable elements (TEs) occupy a significant fraction of a wide variety of eukaryotic genomes and can be domesticated into functional sequences harbouring a coding or regulatory potential.

Metamorphic gene regulation programs in Xenopus tropicalis tadpole brain [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Amphibian metamorphosis is controlled by thyroid hormone (TH), which binds TH receptors (TRs) to regulate gene expression programs that underlie morphogenesis.

Techniques and probes for the study of Xenopus tropicalis development [PDF]

Developmental Dynamics, 2002
AbstractThe frog Xenopus laevis has provided significant insights into developmental and cellular processes. However, X. laevis has an allotetraploid genome precluding its use in forward genetic analysis. Genetic analysis may be applicable to Xenopus (Silurana) tropicalis, which has a diploid genome and a shorter generation time.

The methyltransferase activity of Dot1L is essential for Xenopus tropicalis tadpole development and survival [PDF]

Cell & Bioscience
Epigenetic 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).

Protocol for tail vein injection in Xenopus tropicalis tadpoles [PDF]

STAR Protocols
Summary: Functional studies in post-embryonic Xenopus tadpoles are challenging because embryonic perturbations often lead to developmental consequences, such as lethality.

Is adult cardiac regeneration absent in Xenopus laevis yet present in Xenopus tropicalis? [PDF]

Cell & Bioscience, 2018
We recently used an endoscopy-based resection method to explore the consequences of cardiac injury in adult Xenopus laevis, obtaining the result that the adult Xenopus heart is unable to regenerate.

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Models of Retinitis Pigmentosa Reveal Differential Proliferative Response of Müller Cells between Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis

Cells, 2022
Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited retinal dystrophy that ultimately leads to blindness due to the progressive degeneration of rod photoreceptors and the subsequent non-cell autonomous death of cones.
