Detailed dissection of cANE by transient expression of deletion constructs in zebrafish embryos.

Abstract

<p>(A) Schematic view of the constructs used for dissection of the cANE module. All constructs contain one single fragment (black) from the cANE module, placed immediately upstream of the <i>gata2</i> minimal promoter, except for construct cANE_endo, where the <i>gata2</i> promoter is replaced by the <i>cyp26a1</i> endogenous promoter. Numbers correspond to nucleotide coordinates within the 310 nt zebrafish cANE. The hatched block (Motif1) represents the 12-bp difference between constructs 39–310 and 50–310; the highly conserved blocks are indicated by checkered patterns. (B-K) Enhancer activity of the cANE deletions shown in (A), assayed by <i>egfp</i> in situ hybridization in transient or stable (labelled Tg()) transgenic embryos. All embryos are between stages 10.5 and 11 hpf, viewed from the animal pole, with anterior on the left.</p
