RA signaling is unaffected by the loss of PG1 hox genes.
The expression of aldh1a2 at 70% epiboly is unchanged in paralog group 1 mutants (B, C, D) as compared to wildtype (A). The loss of hoxb1b causes a downregulation of cyp26c1 (hoxb1b−/−: 16/17 embryos, hoxb1a−/−;hoxb1b−/−: 7/7 embryos)(G, H) and cyp26b1 (hoxb1b−/−: 20/20 embryos, hoxb1a−/−;hoxb1b−/−: 8/8 embryos)(K, L) in r4. hoxb1a−/− mutants show no reduction in the expression of cyp26c1 (F) or cyp26b1 (J) in r4. The expression of RA dependent genes, hoxd4a (M-P) and meis3 (Q-T) are unaffected by the loss of paralog group 1 hox genes. All embryos have been genotyped for hoxb1asa1191 and hoxb1bua1006. All images are dorsal views, (A-D) anterior to the top, 70% epiboly, (E-T) anterior to the left, 4 somites.
