The regulatory apparatus- 2 complementary components.
1. β-catenin-wnt8-blimp1,
3. delta-notch signaling.
1. Dynamic Spatial Patterning by β-catenin-wnt8-blimp1 Sub
circuit:
Pmar1 repression
LATER STAGE:
Pmar1 repression
• when gcm expression is turned on specifically in the PMCs
they cease the expression of some skeletogenic genes and
acquire pigment cell properties and vice versa true.
These results show that the GataE, Otxβ, and Blimp1 inputs are
necessary for Otxβ expression in the endoderm.
A cis-regulatory module that controls the expression

• MATERIALS AND METHODS
Plasmid constructions.
• The plasmid encoding the SpOtx fusion protein was generated by fusing, a
fragment containing the N-terminal 296 amino acids of Drosophila Engrailed with
the SpOtx homeodomain.
• Replacing the lysine with glutamine essentially eliminates the ability of SpOtx to
bind to its TAATCC/T target site
endoderm (Endo16),
