Popis: | Histone deacetylases interact with nucleosomes to facilitate the formation of transcriptionally repressed chromatin. In the present study, we show that histone deacetylase 1 (hdac-1) is expressed throughout embryonic development of the zebrafish. The expression of hdac-1 is ubiquitous in early embryos (2-16 hr postfertilization), but at later stages (36 and 48 hr postfertilization), it is primarily restricted to the branchial arches, fin bud mesenchyme, and hindbrain. We report the phenotypes of hdac-1 homozygous mutant embryos and embryos injected with an hdac-1 antisense morpholino. These embryos possess a complex phenotype affecting several embryonic structures. We observed developmental abnormalities in the heart and neural epithelial structures, including the retina and the loss of craniofacial cartilage and pectoral fins. |
