• Expression of the orphan nuclear receptor NR4A in a putative adenohypophyseal homologue of amphioxus.

  Nur77, Nurr1, and NOR-1 form a subfamily (the NR4A/Nur subfamily) of transcription factors belonging to the family of nuclear receptors. In this repor…

• Pax-Six-Eya-Dach network during amphioxus development: conservation in vitro but context specificity in vivo.

  The Drosophila retinal determination gene network occurs in animals generally as a Pax-Six-Eyes absent-Dachshund network (PSEDN). For amphioxus, we de…

• Expression of the amphioxus Pit-1 gene (AmphiPOU1F1/Pit-1) exclusively in the developing preoral organ, a putative homolog of the vertebrate adenohypophysis.

  For the Florida amphioxus (Branchiostoma floridae), the full-length sequence and developmental expression of AmphiPOU1F1/Pit-1 are described. This gen…

• Expression of AmphiPOU-IV in the developing neural tube and epidermal sensory neural precursors in amphioxus supports a conserved role of class IV POU genes in the sensory cells development.

  POU genes play a prominent role in the nervous system differentiation of several organism models, and in particular, they are involved in the differen…
