摘要

Oral ectoderm is a territory present in the larvae of indirect developing sea urchins that is responsible for many larval features as well as necessary in the formation of the adult animal. The oral territory is intact in the larva of Heliocidaris tuberculata, yet absent from congeneric direct developing sea urchin, Heliocidaris erythrogramma. Cross species hybrids produced by fertilizing H. erythrogramma eggs with H. tuberculata sperm restore many features of indirect development, including an intact oral ectoderm. This restoration of indirect developmental features indicated the dominant action of some factor or factors from the H. tuberculata genome were acting to produce a novel ontogeny. I undertook research to isolate and characterize major effect genes responsible for the loss of the oral ectoderm module in H. erythrogramma and its restoration in H.e. x H.t. hybrids.; A candidate gene approach was used to clone several transcription factors know to be isolated to and important in the formation of oral ectoderm in indirect developing sea urchins. Two of these genes, Msx and Gsc were found to have greatly altered expression patterns in H. erythrogramma. Msx was found to have an effect on mesenchyme proliferation and patterning in H. erythrogramma and no effect on skeletal patterning, suggesting it has become completely de-coupled from the oral ectoderm gene regulatory network with the loss of the oral module. Gsc was able to partially restore an oral ectoderm territory in H. erythrogramma. The effect of Gsc was specific to the ectoderm in the region of the H. erythrogramma larva that would become oral ectoderm in an indirect developer, suggesting that downstream regulatory elements in the oral ectoderm pathway are competent to respond to Gsc, and that Gsc's altered expression pattern in H. erythrogramma is vital to the loss of the oral territory.; In addition to the main body of data, many protocols were developed and refined for the Heliocidaris system. These included an optimized non-radioactive in-situ hybridization protocol for H. tuberculata , microinjection techniques for both H. tuberculata and H. erythrogramma and a competitive quantitative RT-PCR assay for the assessment of developmental timing and levels of gene expression.
