Response of the 3′-1hsp construct to
iv, inv, and lefty-1 mutations. Expression
of the 3′-1hsp transgene was examined in
iv/iv (A), inv/inv (B), and
lefty-1−/− (C) mutant
embryos. Anterior and posterior views, as well as a transverse section,
are shown for each transgenic embryo. In iv/iv
embryos (A), the staining in the LPM and PFP was either
left-sided, right-sided or bilateral. In inv/inv
embryos (B), the staining in the LPM and PFP was right-sided
(embryo at left) or bilateral (embryos at middle and
right). In lefty-1−/−
embryos, the staining in the LPM and PFP was initially normal (embryo
at left). At later stages (embryos at middle and
right), however, the staining appeared on the right LPM. The
staining in the PFP, increased and became bilateral (C). In
lefty-1−/− embryos harboring
3′-1 transgene (D), X-gal staining in the PFP,
which was not detected in the wild-type embryos (Fig. 4A), became
apparent. X-gal staining pattern in LPM was similar to that in C.
lacZ expression in the PFP always preceded that in the right LPM.
