You have constructed a new reporter gene to help you find novel zebrafish mutations. The
reporter gene consists of several LEG/TCF binding domains in the enhancer fused to the coding
region for green fluorescent protein (GFP). Wild-type embryos that contain this transgene
normally express it in the brain and eye primordia and have no developmental defects. You then
mutagenize this reporter strain to look for new mutants that affect GFP expression.
Which developmental pathway are these mutants likely to be in and why?
You find a mutant (which you call GLO-1) that ubiquitously expresses your reporter gene
throughout the entire embryo. Which molecule in the above pathway is most likely to be mutated
and why?
Solution
Ans.) Nacre, a zebrafish homolog of MITF is required for pigment cell differentiation. We
isolated a promoter region of shell that contains Tcf/Lef binding sites which will mediate Wnt
responsiveness. This promoter binds to zebrafish Lef1 protein in vitro, and a nacre
communicator construct is powerfully inhibited by dominant-negative Tcf in malignant
melanoma cells. Mutation of Tcf/Lef sites abolishes Lef1 binding and reporter operates in vivo.
Wnt signaling so directly activates shell, which in flip ends up in pigment cell differentiation.
It was determined that the human melanocyte-specific MITF promoter contains many purported
Tcf/Lef binding sites, hallmarks of Wnt/-catenin-mediated transcriptional control. To test the
hypothesis that nacre could be a target of the Wnt/-catenin pathway in zebrafish, a
promoter/enhancer region is isolated for this sequence from a genomic bacteriophage library.
This genomic fragment contains the translation initiation site for nacre which is associated with a
836-bp upstream region with a possible transcription begin site, a cAMP response element
(CRE) and several agreement Tcf/Lef binding sites. These CRE and Tcf/Lef locations are not
fully preserved between the human and zebrafish promoters in either their sequences or their
positions from the transcription begin site. To examine whether the purported putative nacre
promoter/enhancer will direct correct abstraction management of organic phenomenon, injected
one -cell zebrafish embryos with the 836-bp deoxyribonucleic acid fragment driving a green
fluorescent macromolecule (GFP) communicator sequence. Mosaic gene expression is typical for
transient transgenics in zebrafish and because the neural crest springs from only a few precursor
cells, reporter potency is minimized. Despite these, it was ready to analyze the fate of the few
reporter-expressing cells in injected animals.

You find a mutant (which you call GLO-1) that ubiquitously expresses your reporter gene throughout the entire embryo. Which molecule in the above pathway is most likely to be mutated and why? Solution Ans.) Nacre, a zebrafish homolog of MITF is required for pigment cell differentiation. We isolated a promoter region of shell that contains Tcf/Lef binding sites which will mediate Wnt responsiveness. This promoter binds to zebrafish Lef1 protein in vitro, and a nacre communicator construct is powerfully inhibited by dominant-negative Tcf in malignant melanoma cells. Mutation of Tcf/Lef sites abolishes Lef1 binding and reporter operates in vivo. Wnt signaling so directly activates shell, which in flip ends up in pigment cell differentiation. It was determined that the human melanocyte-specific MITF promoter contains many purported Tcf/Lef binding sites, hallmarks of Wnt/-catenin-mediated transcriptional control. To test the hypothesis that nacre could be a target of the Wnt/-catenin pathway in zebrafish, a promoter/enhancer region is isolated for this sequence from a genomic bacteriophage library. This genomic fragment contains the translation initiation site for nacre which is associated with a 836-bp upstream region with a possible transcription begin site, a cAMP response element (CRE) and several agreement Tcf/Lef binding sites. These CRE and Tcf/Lef locations are not fully preserved between the human and zebrafish promoters in either their sequences or their positions from the transcription begin site. To examine whether the purported putative nacre promoter/enhancer will direct correct abstraction management of organic phenomenon, injected one -cell zebrafish embryos with the 836-bp deoxyribonucleic acid fragment driving a green fluorescent macromolecule (GFP) communicator sequence. Mosaic gene expression is typical for transient transgenics in zebrafish and because the neural crest springs from only a few precursor cells, reporter potency is minimized. Despite these, it was ready to analyze the fate of the few reporter-expressing cells in injected animals.
