description: >-
  T-box transcription factor 5b, the second zebrafish co-ortholog of human TBX5. It was retained from the teleost
  genome duplication and is paralogous to tbx5a (heartstrings). It has a T-box DNA-binding domain about 83% identical
  to that of tbx5a, while the rest of the protein, including a shorter C-terminal region (422 aa), is poorly conserved.
  It is expressed in the heart field and heart, becoming restricted to the ventricle from about 36 hpf, and in the
  dorsal retina. Expression starts later and is lower than tbx5a, and expression in the pectoral fin bud is weak
  or undetected. tbx5b is required in the heart: morphants and a frameshift mutant fail to complete cardiac looping,
  develop cardiac edema and die by about 6 dpf. It is also required for timely pectoral fin outgrowth and the medio-lateral
  migration of fin-field cells, but not for fin bud initiation, which depends on tbx5a. With tbx5a it contributes
  to dorsoventral patterning of the retina. Its roles are not interchangeable with those of tbx5a: tbx5a mRNA does
  not rescue tbx5b loss, and the reverse also fails.

      Taken together, we show that pectoral fin development has a different requirement for each of the tbx5 paralogues:
      tbx5a function is required for the earliest steps of initiation of fin outgrowth, whereas tbx5b functions
      later to ensure properly timed and sustained fin outgrowth.
  - reference_id: PMID:34756968
    supporting_text: >-
      We show here that loss of Tbx5b function affects initial ML directed movements so that fin field cells fail
      to migrate laterally but continue to converge along the AP axis.
  - reference_id: PMID:30532148
    supporting_text: Tbx5b-/- mutants also exhibit similar fin defects to the Tbx5b morphants.
suggested_questions:
- question: >-
    Is tbx5b expressed in pectoral fin-field cells at all? If not, does it act on fin-field migration non-cell-autonomously,
    for example from the adjacent heart field or somites?
- question: >-
    Is the failure of tbx5a mRNA to rescue tbx5b morphants due to protein divergence (the C-terminal region, T-box
    substitutions) or to dose, timing and ubiquitous expression of injected mRNA?
- question: >-
    Does the tbx5b frameshift allele (intron-1 insertion, PTC) trigger nonsense-mediated decay and upregulation
    of tbx5a?
suggested_experiments:
- hypothesis: Tbx5b has diverged at the protein level from Tbx5a.
  description: >-
    Compare DNA-binding specificity (SELEX or CUT&RUN) and transactivation of Tbx5a and Tbx5b on the same T-box
    reporters, and swap the coding sequences between the loci by knock-in.
  experiment_type: biochemical comparison and coding-sequence swap
- hypothesis: tbx5b is required for heart jogging.

    transcript levels.
