“…In this study, we have compared the effects of the expression of two truncated cadherins during early neurogenesis in Xenopus laevis. mRNA encoding deleted forms of XB- and N-cadherin lacking most of the extracellular domain were injected into the four animal dorsal blastomeres of 32-cell stage Xenopus embryos. …”

“…In this study, we analyze the effects of Mre11 loss on the mechanism of vertebrate NHEJ by using a chromatinized plasmid double-strand break (DSB) repair assay in cell-free extracts from Xenopus laevis. Mre11-depleted extracts are able to support efficient NHEJ repair of DSBs regardless of the end structure. …”

“…To address this question, we have used Xenopus laevis melanophores as a model system. Through analysis of kinesin II–mediated melanosome motility, we have determined that the dynactin complex, known as an anchor for cytoplasmic dynein, also links kinesin II to organelles. …”

“…Here, we address the role of the major condensation machinery, the condensin complex, in spindle assembly and function in Xenopus laevis egg extracts. Immunodepletion of condensin inhibited microtubule growth and organization around chromosomes, reducing the percentage of sperm nuclei capable of forming spindles, and causing dramatic defects in anaphase chromosome segregation. …”

“…We find that this disruption inhibits RNA polymerase II activity in both mammalian cells and transcriptionally active embryonic nuclei from Xenopus laevis. The inhibition appears to be specific for polymerase II as disruption of lamin organization does not detectably inhibit RNA polymerases I and III. …”

“…A new member of the thrombospondin gene family, designated thrombospondin-4, has been identified in the Xenopus laevis genome. The predicted amino acid sequence indicates that the protein is similar to the other members of this gene family in the structure of the type 3 repeats and the COOH-terminal domain. …”

Data is collected from other databases, high-throughput screens and the scientific literature and integrated into a number of database modules covering subjects such as community, literature, gene and genomic analysis. …”

It was present, however, in the immediately surrounding membrane (deep regions of the junctional folds, membrane domains interdigitating with and surrounding AChR domains within clusters). …”
