Fig. 1. Characterization of mex3b. (A,B) Schematic representations of Xenopus and human Mex3b/MEX3B proteins (A) and mex3b/MEX3B mRNAs (B). Sequence identities are indicated. Note that the identity of the 3' long conserved UTR (3'LCU) is higher than that of the CDS. (C) Sequence alignment of the 3'LCUs. (D-J) Expression patterns of mex3b in Xenopus embryos at the four-cell (D,E), early gastrula (F,G), late gastrula (H), early neurula (I) and tailbud (J) stages. (G) Sagittal-hemisection of F. Arrowheads indicate the dorsal blastopore. A, animal view; D, dorsal view; L, lateral view; V, vegetal view. Image published in: Takada H et al. (2009) Copyright © 2009.
