MIT Department of Biology 7.013: Introductory Biology - Spring 2005 Instructors: Professor Hazel Sive, Professor Tyler Jacks, Dr. Claudette Gardel 7.013 Cell Type and Position Section The chicken wing (forelimb) develops primarily from a population of mesodermal cells that migrate from near the midline of the embryo laterally to the position of the future forelimb. After migration, they form the "limb bud" which later differentiates into the forelimb. Embryo section Limb bud Wing mesoderm a) You find out which population of cells gives rise to the limb by... (Circle one.) activation carcinogenesis epistasis analysis fate mapping b) Migrating cells are always...(Circle one.) epidermal epithelial organizers mesenchymal The limb is organized by a region called the ZPA, which is required for formation of another region called the AER. In turn, the AER organizes the mesoderm to form a limb. ZPA  AER  Mesoderm Three pivotal proteins for fore limb development are Fgf8. secreted by a region called the AER, sonic hedgehog (Shh), secreted by a region called the ZPA and the transcription factor, Tbx5, expressed in the forelimb mesoderm.c) Fill in the table below. Choose from options in parentheses. 9 points Region ZPA AER Mesoderm Factor Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) Fgf8 Tbx5 Class of Protein Secreted Secreted Transcription Factor (Determinant/ Inducer) Inducer Inducer Determinant Factor binds to what? (DNA, RNA, ER, Golgi, receptor, ligand) Receptor Receptor DNA Factor binds where? (ZPA, AER, Mesoderm) AER Mesoderm Mesoderm Forelimbs and hindlimbs are clearly different from one another in the shape of the bones and digits (fingers or toes). You perform a series of transplants between early fore and hindlimb buds to determine what tissues are pivotal in deciding whether a forelimb (FL) versus hindlimb (HL) forms. Donor Substitute for Result i. HL ZPA FL ZPA FL ii. HL AER FL AER FL iii. HL mesoderm after migration FL mesoderm HL iv. HL mesoderm before migration FL mesoderm no limb v. FL ZPA HL ZPA HL vi.
