The tail of tadpole is an excellent model for appendage regeneration studies. We analyzed the distribution pattern of the transcription factor Xvent-2 mRNA and protein in the beginning of the regeneration of tadpole tail stumps after amputation. We revealed the emergence of Xvent-2 mRNA and protein in regeneration bud during the first day after amputation. The data obtained confirm that soon after amputation of the part of the tadpole tail, there occurs the emergence of a structure, to some extend, resembling the early embryonic tail bud.

In molecular embryology, by tacit consent, a presence or absence of the specific mRNA in the cell indicates the presence or absence of the corresponding protein. However, there are lots of evidences that mRNA may be associated with inactive non-translated ribonucleoprotein complexes. Here we for the first time compared the temporal and spatial distribution of the Vent-family transcription factors and their mRNAs in the tails of embryos of two biological species-Xenopus laevis and Zebrafish (Danio reria).

The transcription factor Xvent-2 is considered to appear in the embryos of Xenopus after starting of activity of zygote genome, at midblastula stage. But nobody has detected this protein immunologically. All researchers deal with mRNA only.

During early development of the nervous system in vertebrates, expression of the homeobox gene Anf/Hesx1/Rpx is restricted to the anterior neural plate subdomain corresponding to the presumptive forebrain. This expression is essential for normal forebrain development and ectopic expression of Xenopus Anf, Xanf1 (also known as Xanf-1), results in severe forebrain abnormalities. By use of transgenic embryos and a novel bi-colour reporter technique, we have identified a cis-regulatory element responsible for transcriptional repression of Xanf1 that defines its posterior expression limit within the neural plate.

The understanding of vertebrate development has greatly benefited from the study of gastrulation in the Xenopus embryo. Over the years, the molecular dissection of the Spemann organizer has proven to be a very fruitful source for gene discovery. Here, we report a comprehensive screen of gene expression in the Xenopus gastrula using cDNA macroarrays.
