“…Fringe-modulated deployment of Notch signaling has been shown to be critical for formation of developmental boundaries in Drosophila wing, Drosophila eye, Drosophila leg, chicken limb, vertebrate somites, and chicken zona limitans intrathalamica (zli) and may have a similar role in other tissues such as the hindbrain, although the detailed mechanisms Wu et al, 1996;c Appel et al, 2003;d Prince et al, 2001; e Leve et al, 2001;f Sakamoto et al, 1997;g Laufer et al, 1997;h Johnston et al, 1997;i Cohen et al, 1997;j Ishii et al, 2000;k Mikami et al, 2001;l Zeltser et al, 2001;m Cole et al, 2000;n Morsli et al, 1998;o McGrew et al, 1998;p Aulehla and Johnson, 1999;q Thelu et al, 2002;r Pouyet and Mitsiadis, 2000;s Harada et al, 1999;t Mustonen et al, 2002;u Chen and Chuong, 2000;v Favier et al, 2000;w Christen and Slack, 1998;x Cadinouche et al, 1999;y Rodriguez-Esteban et al, 1997;z Singh et al, 2000. may vary (reviewed in Irvine and Rauskolb, 2001). Fringe is also important for some other Notchdependent processes; in chick and mouse, in particular, it plays an essential part in the "segmentation clock"-the oscillation of gene expression in the presomitic mesoderm during somitogenesis (Dale et al, 2003).…”
