What's a GeneRIF?

The authors concluded that, independently from variations in foxj1a mRNA levels, all cilia seem to acquire a motile ultrastructure. However, Notch signalling modulates the final number of functionally moving cilia early in the Kupffer's Vesicle precursors, via a mechanism that involves the activity of Her12, a transcription repressor so far only involved in somitogenesis.
Title: Notch/Her12 signalling modulates, motile/immotile cilia ratio downstream of Foxj1a in zebrafish left-right organizer.
Rer1p depletion reduced ciliary length and function by increasing gamma-secretase complex assembly and activity and, consequently, enhancing Notch signaling as well as reducing Foxj1a expression.
Title: Rer1p maintains ciliary length and signaling by regulating γ-secretase activity and Foxj1a levels.
all of these findings provide the first evolutionary perspective into the transcriptional control of motile ciliogenesis and allow us to propose a conserved FoxJ1-regulated mechanism for motile cilia biogenesis back to the origin of the metazoans.
Title: Evolutionarily ancient association of the FoxJ1 transcription factor with the motile ciliogenic program.
It was shown that Wnt3a-Wnt8a/beta-catenin signaling directly regulates ciliogenic transcription factor foxj1a expression and ciliogenesis in zebrafish Kupffer's vesicle.
Title: Wnt/β-catenin signaling directly regulates Foxj1 expression and ciliogenesis in zebrafish Kupffer's vesicle.
activation of a Foxj1 transcriptional network of ciliogenic genes is an evolutionarily conserved response to multiple forms of tissue damage
Title: The zebrafish foxj1a transcription factor regulates cilia function in response to injury and epithelial stretch.
foxj1a regulates asymmetric development through dorsal forerunner cells in a cell-autonomous fashion but foxj1b functions indirectly.
Title: Both foxj1a and foxj1b are implicated in left-right asymmetric development in zebrafish embryos.
Isolation and expression analysis of foxj1 in zebrafish embryos are reported.
Title: Isolation and expression analysis of foxj1 and foxj1.2 in zebrafish embryos.
Study shows that Foxj1a activates a constellation of genes essential for motile cilia formation and function, and that its activity is sufficient for ectopic development of cilia that resemble motile cilia.
Title: Foxj1 transcription factors are master regulators of the motile ciliogenic program.
Study shows that the cilia that underlie left-right patterning on the Xenopus gastrocoel roof plate (GRP) and zebrafish Kupffer's vesicle are severely shortened or fail to form in Foxj1 morphants.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
