Conservation and divergence of ADAM family proteins in the Xenopus genome

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Members of the disintegrin metalloproteinase (ADAM) family play important roles in cellular and developmental processes through their functions as proteases and/or binding partners for other proteins.

Animal Maintenance Systems: Xenopus tropicalis. [PDF]

Cold Spring Harb Protoc, 2020
Modular recirculating animal aquaculture systems incorporate UV sterilization and biological, mechanical, and activated carbon filtration, creating a nearly self-contained stable housing environment for Xenopus tropicalis. Nonetheless, minimal water exchange is necessary to mitigate accumulation of metabolic waste, and regular weekly, monthly, and ...

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.

A comparative analysis of transcription factor expression during metazoan embryonic development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
During embryonic development, a complex organism is formed from a single starting cell. These processes of growth and differentiation are driven by large transcriptional changes, which are following the expression and activity of transcription factors ...

Genetic Analysis of Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

, 2012
The pipid frog Xenopus tropicalis has emerged as a powerful new model system for combining genetic and genomic analysis of tetrapod development with robust embryological, molecular, and biochemical assays. Its early development closely resembles that of its well-understood relative X.

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) promotes wound re-epithelialisation in frog and human skin [PDF]

, 2013
There remains a critical need for new therapeutics that promote wound healing in patients suffering from chronic skin wounds. This is, in part, due to a shortage of simple, physiologically and clinically relevant test systems for investigating candidate ...

Decoding development in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

genesis, 2007
AbstractXenopus tropicalis is rapidly being adopted as a model organism for developmental biology research and has enormous potential for increasing our understanding of how embryonic development is controlled. In recent years there has been a well‐organized initiative within the Xenopus community, funded largely through the support of the National ...

Maternal Wnt/β-catenin signaling coactivates transcription through NF-κB binding sites during Xenopus axis formation. [PDF]

, 2012
Maternal Wnt/β-Catenin signaling establishes a program of dorsal-specific gene expression required for axial patterning in Xenopus. We previously reported that a subset of dorsally expressed genes depends not only on Wnt/β-Catenin stimulation, but also ...

Genetics, Morphology, Advertisement Calls, and Historical Records Distinguish Six New Polyploid Species of African Clawed Frog (Xenopus, Pipidae) from West and Central Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2015
African clawed frogs, genus Xenopus, are extraordinary among vertebrates in the diversity of their polyploid species and the high number of independent polyploidization events that occurred during their diversification.

Evolutionary importance of translation elongation factor eEF1A variant switching:eEF1A1 down-regulation in muscle is conserved in Xenopus but is controlled at a post-transcriptional level [PDF]

, 2011
Translation elongation isoform eEF1A1 has a pivotal role in protein synthesis and is almost ubiquitously expressed. In mice and rats that transcription of the gene encoding eEF1A1 is downregulated to undetectable levels in muscle after weaning; eEF1A1 is
