BMP-2/-4 mediate programmed cell death in chicken limb buds
Yuji Yokouchi,Jyun-ichi Sakiyama,Takashi Kameda,Hideo Iba,Atsushi Suzuki,Naoto Ueno,Atsushi Kuroiwa +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that B MP-2 and BMP-4 are the apoptotic signal molecules of the programmed cell death process in the chick limb buds.

Negative regulation of Wingless signaling by D-axin, a Drosophila homolog of axin.
Fumihiko Hamada,Fumihiko Hamada,Yoshinori Tomoyasu,Yoshihiro Takatsu,Makoto Nakamura,Shin-ichi Nagai,Akiko Suzuki,Fumitaka Fujita,Hiroshi Shibuya,Kumao Toyoshima,Naoto Ueno,Tetsu Akiyama,Tetsu Akiyama +12 more
TL;DR: D-Axin negatively regulates Wingless signaling by down-regulating the level of Armadillo, establishing the importance of the Axin family of proteins in Wnt/Wingless signaling in Drosophila.

Molecular analysis of external genitalia formation: the role of fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) genes during genital tubercle formation.
Ryuma Haraguchi,Kentaro Suzuki,R. Murakami,M. Sakai,Mami Kamikawa,Mineko Kengaku,Keisuke Sekine,H. Kawano,S. Kato,Naoto Ueno,Gen Yamada +10 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the FGF system is a key element in orchestrating GT development, and despite its vital role during limb-bud formation, Fgf10 appears not to be primarily essential for initial outgrowth of GT, as extrapolated from F gf10(-/-) GTs.

The prickle-related gene in vertebrates is essential for gastrulation cell movements.
Masaki Takeuchi,Jun Nakabayashi,Takuya F. Sakaguchi,Takamasa S. Yamamoto,Hiroki Takahashi,Hiroki Takahashi,Hiroyuki Takeda,Hiroyuki Takeda,Naoto Ueno,Naoto Ueno +9 more
TL;DR: Xenopus prickle (Xpk), a Xenopus homolog of a Drosophila PCP gene, is an essential component for gastrulation cell movement and is demonstrated that XPK binds to Xenopus Dsh as well as to JNK.
208
PKCδ is essential for Dishevelled function in a noncanonical Wnt pathway that regulates Xenopus convergent extension movements
TL;DR: Loss of PKC delta function revealed that it was essential for convergent extension during gastrulation and played an essential role in the Wnt/JNK pathway by regulating the localization and activity of Dishevelled.
