In zebrafish, gbx1 and otx2 are among the earliest genes expressed in the neuroectoderm, dividing it into an anterior and a posterior domain with a common border that marks the midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB) primordium. Here, we describe the sequence and expression pattern of Gbx1 in mouse. The first transcripts are found at embryonic day 7.75 in the hindbrain. Later on, expression of Gbx1 is detectable in the hindbrain (rhombomeres 2 to 7), spinal cord, optic vesicles, and in the ventral telencephalon. In mouse, Gbx1 expression is not observed at the MHB as is the case during early zebrafish development. We suggest that an evolutionary switch occurred: in mouse Gbx2 is involved in the early specification of the MHB primordium, whereas in zebrafish, gbx1 is required instead of gbx2.

D005801 Genes, Homeobox Genes that encode highly conserved TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS that control positional identity of cells (BODY PATTERNING) and MORPHOGENESIS throughout development. Their sequences contain a 180 nucleotide sequence designated the homeobox, so called because mutations of these genes often results in homeotic transformations, in which one body structure replaces another. The proteins encoded by homeobox genes are called HOMEODOMAIN PROTEINS.

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
