Thickened epithelial sheets are found in most organ systems, but the mechanisms governing their morphogenesis remain poorly defined. We show here that Shroom family proteins are broadly involved in generating thickened epithelial sheets. Through in situ hybridization, we report temporal and spatial expression patterns of the four Shroom family members during early Xenopus development from oocytes to tadpole stages. Shroom1 and 2 mRNAs are maternally expressed, while Shroom3 and Shroom4 are zygotic transcripts. During later development, all four Shroom family proteins are broadly expressed in developing epithelial organs, and the epithelial cells that express Shrooms are elongated. Moreover, we show that ectopic expression of Shroom2, like Shroom3, is able to increase cell height and that loss of Shroom2 function results in a failure of cell elongation in the neural epithelium. These data suggest that Shroom family proteins play an important role in the morphogenesis of several different embryonic epithelial tissues.
