... s-hc ) that specifically disrupts expression in the lateral peripodial epithelium of eye/antennal discs and is required for ventral head formation. Here we describe the recovery of mutations in odd-paired ( opa ), a zinc finger transcription factor related to the vertebrate Zic family, as dominant...

... regulation of neural differentiation in Hydra is largely unknown. Here, we report the identification of Hyzic , a homolog of the Zn-finger transcription factor gene zic/odd-paired , which acts as an early neural effector gene in vertebrates. We show, that Hyzic is expressed in the early nematocyte...

..., non-coding mutation that affects Pn.p cell fusion by mis-regulating ref-2 , which encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor of the odd-paired ( opa) /Zic family. The ref-2 gene product is required for Pn.p cells to be generated and to remain unfused. C. elegans contains six Hox genes...

... aired -like) that resembles the Drosophila pair-rule gene odd-paired and encodes a zinc finger protein that is a member of the Zic gene family. At the onset of gastrulation, opl is expressed throughout the presumptive neural plate, indicating that neural determination has begun at this stage while...

... related to the Drosophila pair-rule gene odd-paired , and Sox-2, a Sry-related HMG factor. Expression of the two genes is first detected widely in the prospective neuroectoderm at the beginning of gastrulation, following the onset of Chordin expression and preceding that of Neurogenin (Xngnr-1). Zic-r1...
