内容記述 | During early development, cells receive positional information from neighboring cells that direct how they should differentiate to form tissue patterns from initially uniform germ layers.Ligands of the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) superfamily are known to participate in this pattern formation. In particular, activin has been shown to act as a long-range signal to establish a concentration gradient in X enopus ectoderm.In contrast, the action of BMP-2 and BMP-4, both of which also belong to this superfamily, appears to be restricted to the ventral ectoderm where they induce the epidermal fate in a tightly localized manner.This raises a question as to how the action of BMP is tightly restricted to within and around the cells that produce it.<br />To investigate this question, I noticed that some of the BMP subfamily ligands contain a unique core of basic amino acids in their N-terminus.Then cDNA encoding BMP-4 variants, lacking basic amino acids core in their N-terminal region, were constructed.To analyze their action ranges in Xenopus embryo, the experiments using presumptive ectoderm and whole embryo were preformed.Results are, first, that a basic core of only three amino acids in the N-terminal region of BMP-4 is required not for its biological activity but for its restriction to the non-neural ectoderm and to the ventral tissue. Second, I demonstrated that heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) bind to this basic core and WTBMP-4 could act as long-range siganl molecules where HSPGs are absent in vivo.<br />These observations suggest that the basic amino acids in the N-terminal region of BMP-4 and particularly the basic core play an essential role in conferring to BMP-4 a short-range action in vivo.And I demonstrated that at least one of the molecules trapping WTBMP-4 on the surface of animal cap cells is HSPGs in vivo.The present work first identifies the critical domain of BMP for the restriction of its diffusion through the interaction with extracellular environments in vivo. | |||||
