Mutation of the fucose-specific beta1,3 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase LFNG results in abnormal formation of the spine. T1 - The lunatic fringe gene is a target of the molecular clock linked to somite segmentation in avian embryos. Abstract. Lunatic Fringe Gene Plays Key Role in the Renewable Brain Summary: A new study in eLife reports lunatic fringe genes mediates a mechanism that preserves neural stem cells, so they can form new neurons throughout life. Biophys. Curr. A recent paper in Development by Hahn and colleagues reports that female mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation of the lunatic fringe (Lfng) gene are infertile (Hahn et al., 2005).In 1998, our laboratory and Randy Johnson's laboratory published independent papers on the construction and analysis of Lfng knockout mice (Evrard et al., 1998; Zhang and Gridley, 1998). Its product is a precursor protein consisting of pre-, pro-, and mature regions. Mammals - including mice and humans - actually have three different versions of the Fringe gene, called Manic Fringe, Radical Fringe and Lunatic Fringe, which are involved in Article navigation. Biochim. After extensive analysis, we were convinced that the gene lunatic fringe, a member of the well-studied Notch signaling pathway, was the selective marker of neural stem cells.” Drosophila fringe and its homologues in vertebrates code for glycosyltransferases that modify Notch, altering the sensitivity of this receptor protein to its ligands Delta and Serrate and, thereby, playing an essential part in the demarcation of tissue boundaries.

Members of the Fringe gene family encode beta-1,3 N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferases that function to refine the spatial localization of Notch-receptor signaling to tissue boundaries. The Lfng gene encodes the Lunatic fringe protein, a key modifier of Notch signaling which acts to influence neural stem cell (NSC) recruitment, cell cycle duration, and terminal fate, and is also expressed in the urogenital tract. The findings, researchers say, have far-reaching implications for the study of neurogenesis.

In Drosophila melanogaster (the fruit fly) the fringe gene (fng) was identified as part of the notch mechanism by Dr. Kenneth Irvine at the Waksman Institute at Rutgers.Later based on similarity, the manic fringe (), the radical fringe and lunatic fringe genes were identified in mammals. AU - McGrew, Michael J. Finally, keep your hair on, because our gene of the month is the rather wackily-named Lunatic Fringe.
