Chapter 16, Problem 7Q
Summary Introduction

To explain: The possibility of activation of the RTK when it is exposed to the antibodies which bind to the respective RTK.

Concept introduction: Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTK) are a unique group of receptors found on the membrane which have a kinase domain in them to phosphorylate the necessary target proteins (receptors also) to initiate the cascade. The kinase activity is activated only when the RTK receptor is in its dimer form. This acts as a check point to keep the initiation of cascade under check. The antibodies are proteins that identify a protein with their unique antigen binding site produced by the plasma cells. The antibodies are used by the plasma cells to defend against the invading pathogen. The same is exploited by the researchers to tag a protein to isolate the target protein of interest.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
