...Samir E. Witta; Veena R. Agarwal; Sheryl M. Sato ABSTRACT XlPOU 2 , a member of the class III POU domain family, is expressed initially in Spemann’s organizer, and later, in discrete regions of the developing nervous system in Xenopus laevis. XlPOU 2 may act downstream from initial neural induction...

...Dale Frank; Richard M. Harland We have cloned a cDNA encoding a Xenopus POU domain protein, XLP0U91 , which is expressed at high levels in gastrula embryos. XLP0U91 transcription initiates at the midblastula transition, and declines to low levels by late neurula stages. In early neurula embryos...
