An FGF autocrine loop initiated in second heart field mesoderm regulates morphogenesis at the arterial pole of the heart
Eon Joo Park,Yusuke Watanabe,Graham Smyth,Sachiko Miyagawa-Tomita,Erik N. Meyers,John Klingensmith,Todd D. Camenisch,Margaret Buckingham,Anne M. Moon +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that an autocrine regulatory loop, initiated by the reception of FGF signals by the mesoderm, regulates correct morphogenesis at the arterial pole of the heart.

New epidermal keratin genes from Xenopus laevis: hormonal and regional regulation of their expression during anuran skin metamorphosis.
TL;DR: Xenopus larval keratin (XLK) was isolated by gel electrophoresis of proteins of tadpole skin and its complete nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequences revealed that XLK was a new member of type II keratin, and three genes were found to be late responsive to thyroid hormone.

Expression of thyroid hormone receptor βA gene assayed by transgenic Xenopus laevis carrying its promoter sequences
Ken Oofusa,Osamu Tooi,Akihiko Kashiwagi,Keiko Kashiwagi,Yasuyuki Kondo,Yusuke Watanabe,T. Sawada,Kazuyuki Fujikawa,Katsutoshi Yoshizato +8 more
TL;DR: The responsiveness of thyroid hormone responsive element (TRE)-containing promoter sequence to thyroid hormone (TH) was studied utilizing Xenopus laevis carrying a transgene containing 5'-upstream region of TRbetaA1 gene and green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene, showing that the transgenic Xenopus adults were responsive to exogenous TH.

Molecular features of thyroid hormone-regulated skin remodeling in Xenopus laevis during metamorphosis
Ken-ichi T. Suzuki,Fumiaki MacHiyama,Shinsuke Nishino,Yusuke Watanabe,Keiko Kashiwagi,Akihiko Kashiwagi,Katsutoshi Yoshizato +6 more
TL;DR: Adult‐type keratin‐c (xak‐c) gene was selected as a suitable gene to visually monitor the emergence of adult‐type epidermal cells during skin remodeling, because the gene is specifically expressed in adult epidersmal basal cells.

Metamorphosis-dependent transcriptional regulation of xak-c, a novel Xenopus type I keratin gene
Yusuke Watanabe,Rumi Tanaka,Hisao Kobayashi,Rie Utoh,Ken-ichi T. Suzuki,Masanobu Obara,Katsutoshi Yoshizato +6 more
TL;DR: Novel type I keratin cDNA dubbed xak‐c (Xenopus adult keratin‐c) was isolated that was exclusively expressed in adult epidermal basal cells and showed that the promoter region is responsive to TH, although the region did not contain the consensus TH response element‐like sequence.
