Abstract
Members of the Ski/Sno family of gene products contain a characteristic peptide domain involved in protein-protein or protein-DNA interaction. Here, we characterize the developmental expression of xDawg, in Xenopus laevis, of a new gene, related to the Ski/Sno family of transcription regulators. The Ski/Sno domain of xDawg is predicted to present an electropositive surface, consistent with a role in DNA binding. This gene is expressed in the marginal zone of early gastrulae, and in the brain, sensory vesicles, and cranial neural crest of neurula and tailbud embryos.
