We report the cloning of two new quail myogenic cDNAs, quail myogenic factor 2 (qmf2) and qmf3, which encode helix-loop-helix proteins homologous to mammalian myogenic factors myogenin and myf-5.In situhybridization has been used to investigate the developmental expression ofqmf2andqmf3, as well asqmf1, the quail homologue to mammalianMyoD1, during the formation of the brachial somites. These studies show thatqmf1andqmf3are activated sequentially in medially localized somite cells, immediately following somite formation but prior to myotome formation.qmf1, qmf2, andqmf3are expressed in the myotome of compartmentalized somites. These findings suggest that determination of the myogenic cell lineage in quail somites is a progressive process controlled by influences of the neural tube on the expression of theqmfregulatory genes in newly forming somites.
