ASE is essential and sufficient for L-R asymmetric
expression of nodal. (A) Structures and activities of
the lacZ constructs 3′-1,
3′-1ΔASE, 5′-1ASE, and
501/301hsp. (B) X-gal staining patterns
of representative transgenic embryos. Constructs 3′-1,
5′-1ASE, and 501/301hsp yielded
left-sided staining in the LPM, whereas
3′-1ΔASE did not. Construct
501/301hsp also gave rise to left-sided staining in PFP.
