Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs), a subgroup of the TGF- superfamily, were originally isolated from bone on the basis of their ability to induce ectopic bone development. While BMPs are involved in a wide range of developmental and physiological functions, very few vertebrate target genes in t...

In order to isolate novel genes regulating neural induction, we utilized a DNA microarray approach. As neural induction is thought to occur via the inhibition of BMP signaling, BMP signaling was inhibited in ectodermal cells by overexpression of a dominant-negative receptor. RNAs were isolated from...

The Xenopus POU class V transcription factor XOct-25 has been shown to inhibit BMP-dependent epidermal differentiation and promote neural induction in the ectoderm during early embryogenesis. In order to identify genes that act downstream of XOct-25, transcriptional profile of Xenopus ectodermal ce...
