In this paper, we show that the transcription factor GATA3 is dynamically expressed during hindbrain development. Function of GATA3 in ventral rhombomere (r) 4 is dependent on functional GATA2, which in turn is under the control of Hoxb1. In particular, the absence of Hoxb1 results in the loss of GATA2 expression in r4 and the absence of GATA2 results in the loss of GATA3 expression. The lack of GATA3 expression in r4 inhibits the projection of contralateral vestibuloacoustic efferent neurons and the migration of facial branchiomotor neurons similar to Hoxb1-deficient mice. Ubiquitous expression of Hoxb1 in the hindbrain induces ectopic expression of GATA2 and GATA3 in ventral r2 and r3. These findings demonstrate that GATA2 and GATA3 lie downstream of Hoxb1 and provide the first example of Hox pathway transcription factors within a defined population of vertebrate motor neurons.

Dihydropyrimidinase-like family proteins (Dpysls) are relevant in several processes during nervous system development; among others, they are involved in axonal growth and cell migration. Dpysl2 (CRMP2) is the most studied member of this family; however, its role in vivo is still being investigated. Our previous studies in zebrafish showed the requirement of Dpysl2 for the proper positioning of caudal primary motor neurons and Rohon-Beard neurons in the spinal cord.In the present study, we show that Dpysl2 is necessary for the proper migration of facial branchiomotor neurons during early development in zebrafish. We generated a dpysl2 knock-out (KO) zebrafish mutant line and used different types of antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (AMO) to analyze the role of Dpysl2 in this process. Both dpysl2 KO mutants and morphants exhibited abnormalities in the migration of these neurons from rhombomers (r) 4 and 5 to 6 and 7. The facial branchiomotor neurons that were expected to be at r6 were still located at r4 and r5 hours after the migration process should have been completed. In addition, mutant phenotypes were rescued by injecting dpysl2 mRNA into the KO embryos. These results indicate that Dpysl2 is involved in the proper migration of facial branchiomotor neurons in developing zebrafish embryos.
