No Sox2 expression. (B) Syn4-injected caps express Sox2. (C) Co-injection of Syn4 and a dominant-negative form of FGF receptor 1 (XFD-1) inhibits Sox2 expression. (D) Syn4-injected caps treated with 40μ M SU5402 (in DMSO) do not show Sox2 expression. (E) Syn4-injected caps treated with 80 μM U0126 do not express Sox2. (F) Syn4-injected caps treated with 80 μM U0124 show expression of Sox2.(G) Animal caps were injected as indicated (Cont, control) and samples taken for western blot analysis of MAPK phosphorylation at the equivalent of stage 12. Antibodies against MAPK or phosphorylated MAPK (p-MAPK) can recognise both p42 and p44 as a single band. Each experiment was repeated three times with at least 50 animal caps.
	Fig. 5. Membrane translocation of PKCδ by FGF is inhibited by Syn4. Xenopus animal caps analysed by confocal microscopy after injection/treatment as indicated. (A-C) Control animal cap shows cytoplasmic localisation of PKCδ. (D-F) Animal caps injected with Syn4 mRNA. PKCδ shows cytoplasmic distribution. (G-L) Phorbol ester (PMA; G-I) or FGF2 (J-L) triggers the translocation of PKCδ into the membrane. (M-O) Syn4 inhibits the translocation of PKCδ activated by FGF2.
	Fig. 6. Inhibition of PKCδ or activation of PKCα is essential for neural induction by Syn4. (A-H) Sox2 expression in Xenopus embryos injected, as indicated, into A4 blastomeres at the 32-cell stage.

(G) Co-injection of Syn4 and a dominant-negative form of PKCα (DN-PKCα-EGFP) inhibits Sox2 expression (15%, n=51). (H) Injection of PKCα-EGFP mRNA. Ectopic induction of Sox2 is similar to that upon PKCα injection, showing that EGFP does not affect the activity of the fusion protein. (I-N) Confocal images of animal caps injected as indicated. PKCα-EGFP mRNA was injected into both blastomeres at the 2-cell stage. At the 16-cell stage, Syn4 or control MO and membrane Cherry mRNA were injected into one blastomere. (I-K) PKCα-EGFP spontaneously localises at the membrane, colocalising with membrane Cherry. (L-N) The distribution of Syn4 MO can be identified by the fluorescence of mCherry. Note that cells with a high level of Syn4 MO (asterisks) exhibit a low level of PKCα-EGFP in the membrane.
