Fig. 1. xNubp1 is a maternal gene expressed throughout development. (A) RT-PCR of different stages of Xenopus laevis embryonic development. xNubp1 is expressed at all stages of embryonic development tested. (B) Whole-mount in situ hybridization to detect xNubp1 expression. (Bi) xNubp1 is expressed in the animal hemisphere. (Bii) xNubp1 expression is elevated in the neural plate. (Biii) Stage 22 embryos show expression in the neural folds [NF], presumptive eye [E] and neural crest cells [C]. (Biv) In stage 29/30 tailbuds, xNubp1 is expressed in the otic vesicle [OV], the eye, the branchial arches [B], neural tube [N], heart anlage [H] the pronephros [P] and also weak epidermal and somitic [S] expression is visible.
