Abstract

AbstractAcross the Metazoa, similar genetic programs are found in the development of analogous, independently evolved, morphological features. The functional significance of this reuse and the underlying mechanisms of co-option remain unclear. Here we identify the co-option of the canonical bilaterian limb pattering program redeployed during cephalopod lens development, a functionally unrelated structure. We show radial expression of transcription factorsSP6-9/sp1, Dlx/dll, Pbx/exd, Meis/hth, and aPrdlhomolog in the squidDoryteuthis pealeii, similar to expression required inDrosophilalimb development. We assess the role of Wnt signaling in the cephalopod lens, a positive regulator in the developing limb, and find the regulatory relationship reversed, with ectopic Wnt signaling leading to lens loss. This regulatory divergence suggests that duplication of SP6-9 in cephalopods may mediate this co-option. These results suggest that the limb network does not exclusively pattern appendage outgrowth but is performing a more universal developmental function: radial patterning.
