Proximate Induction
Recall: Primary Induction – @ the dorsal lip of the Optic vesicle induces ectoderm to become lens
blastopore, Spemann’s organizer vesicle, therefore ectoderm must be competent
versus in order to respond
Secondary (proximal) Induction – one group of Without optic vesicle, no induction
cells changing the behavior of an adjacent set of Something other than optic vesicle, no
cells thereby causing them to change the shape, induction
mitotic rate or fate
e.g. neural tube and neural ectoderm Competence: ability to respond to a specific
* may induce a change in morphology or activity inductive signal
- not a passive state but an actively acquired
A. Components condition
1.Inducer – the tissue that produces a signal
or signals that changes the cellular behavior Competence Theory – tested by a recombinant
of other tissues experiment
2.Responder – inducee; the one affected The Experiment: used Pax-6 protein, testing eye
develop’t
The Signal: Pax-6 protein – required in dev’t of
mammalian and avian eye to make ectoderm
competent to respond to inductive signal from
optic vesicle
The Results:
HOWEVER, (a) abnormal surface ectoderm (pax-6 –
Not all tissues homozygous mutant) + wild type (normal)
can respond to a = no lens vesicle
signal (e.g. Lens (b) wild type ectoderm + mutant optic vesicle
Induction) = no vesicle
The Findings: Pax-6 causes the responder to
produce whatever desired effect.

The Pathway
1. FGF receptor binds an FGF
2. The dormant kinase is activated and it
phosphorylates certain proteins within the
responding cell.
3. The proteins are now activated and can
perform certain functions.
