Goals:
To define homeotic transformations and give examples in Drosophila and mouse
1
, To explain the Lewis model
To know the organization of the Hox genes in Drosophila and in mouse
To define the homeobox and the homeodomain
To define colinearity of Hox genes
To know and explain an example in biomedicine of Hox genes and their relevance
To know how limb numbers in Arthropods can change in evolution
How is developmental fate along the anteroposterior axis determined?
Hox genes: a Swiss army knife for development and evolution. Hox genes are a key component
in this process.
7.1 MATERNAL AND SEGMENTATION GENES REVISITED
How is each segment distinguished from the next segment?
Hox genes were first defined and identified in drosophila
Previous class (H5)
Anterior and posterior determinants: bicoid and nanos which have localized mRNA
which become proteins and form an opposing gradient. Maternally deposited genes
generate a gradient
These gradients are then subsequently converted into increasingly defined expression
patterns of the 3 categories of segmentation genes:
1) Gap genes
2) Pair-rule genes
3) Segment polarity genes
We know how to make segments, but we don’t know how each segment is gaining its
identity!
We have seen this in H5 (positional information)
