 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Housekeeping gene xanthine oxidoreductase is necessary for milk fat droplet enveloping and secretion: gene sharing in the lactating mammary gland. | Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in purine catabolism occurring in most cell types. However, this housekeeping gene is expressed at very high levels in a number of mammalian tissues including the lactating mammary epithelium, suggesting additional roles for XOR in these tiss... | Body Weight; Cell Differentiation; Cell Membrane; Epithelium | 2002-12-15 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R.; Bernstein, Kenneth E.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Targeting genes for self-excision in the germ line | A procedure is described that directs the self-induced deletion of DNA sequences as they pass through the male germ line of mice. The testes-specific promoter from the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene was used to drive expression of the Cre-recombinase gene. Cre was linked to the selectable marker... | Cre-recombinase; Hoxa3; Chimeric mice | 1999-06-15 |

 | Hansen, Mark S.; Coffin, Cheryl M.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Pax3:Fkhr interferes with embryonic Pax3 and Pax7 function: implications for alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cell of origin. | To investigate the role of the translocation-associated gene Pax3:Fkhr in alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas, we generated a Cre-mediated conditional knock-in of Pax3:Fkhr into the mouse Pax3 locus. Exploring embryonic tumor cell origins, we replaced a Pax3 allele with Pax3:Fkhr throughout its expression do... | Neuroprogenitor; Embryogenesis | 2004-11-01 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Targeted disruption of the even-skipped gene, evx1, causes early postimplantation lethality of the mouse conceptus. | Implantation within the mammalian uterus elicits dramatic changes in the growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis of the conceptus. This process is interrupted in mice carrying a targeted disruption of the murine evx1 gene, a homolog of the Drosophila even-skipped (eve) gene. Upon implantation, pr... | Extraembryonic; Homozygotes; Drosophila | 1994-08-15 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Genetic interaction between hoxb-5 and hoxb-6 is revealed by nonallelic noncomplementation. | hoxb-5 and hoxb-6 are adjacent genes in the mouse HoxB locus and are members of the homeotic transcription factor complex that governs establishment of the mammalian body plan. To determine the roles of these genes during development, we generated mice with a targeted disruption in each gene. Three ... | Alleles; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Proteins; Cervical Vertebrae; DNA-Binding Proteins; Forelimb; Genetic Complementation Test | 1995-01-01 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair | Hox genes are usually expressed temporally and spatially in a colinear manner with respect to their positions in the Hox complex. Consistent with the expected pattern for a paralogous group 13 member, early embryonic Hoxc13 expression is found in the nails and tail. Hoxc13 is also expressed in vibri... | Filiform papillae; Homozygotes; Paralogous | 1998-01-01 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R.; Tvrdik, Petr | Hoxb1 functions in both motoneurons and in tissues of the periphery to establish and maintain the proper neuronal circuitry. | Formation of neuronal circuits in the head requires the coordinated development of neurons within the central nervous system (CNS) and neural crest-derived peripheral target tissues. Hoxb1, which is expressed throughout rhombomere 4 (r4), has been shown to be required for the specification of facial... | Rhombomere 4; Branchiomotor; Cranial Nerve | 2004-07-04 |

 | Jorgensen, Erik | Trio's Rho-specific GEF domain is the missing Gaq effector in C. elegans | The Gaq pathway is essential for animal life and is a central pathway for driving locomotion, egg laying, and growth in Caenorhcibditis elegans, where it exerts its effects through EGL-8 (phospholipase CB [PLCB]) and at least one other effector. To find the missing effector, we performed forward ... | | 2007-11-01 |
