Figure 7. Mouse lens development events that may involve RBP function.

Figure 7

(A) Specific cellular and differentiation events in lens development where RBP-mediated post-transcriptional regulation may occur are outlined. (B) Potential function of Caprin2 in the separation of lens pit from the overlying surface ectoderm (future cornea) is outlined. p63 protein is expressed in cells that will contribute to the cornea. It is abruptly absent in adjacent to cells that separate out from the surface ectoderm and associate together to form the anterior epithelium of the lens vesicle. The absence of p63 in these cells coincides with enriched Caprin2 granular staining suggesting a potential relationship that may be the topic of future investigations.
