Carter remembers another. When it was time to take a sheep to the fair, he yanked the back seat out of a '66 Chevy and made Jimmy ride with the sheep in back, the sheep bleating the whole way. "I drove down the main street just to embarrass him," Carter said.We have isolated chicken Dab1 (chDab1) cDNA from undifferentiated retinal cells using a differential display strategy. Here, we show that chDab1 undergoes alternative splicing as a function of developmental stage, with early and late forms of the protein expressed in proliferating and differentiating cells, respectively. Transfection of primary retinal cultures with expression constructs containing either the early or the late form of chDab1 results in dramatic changes in cellular morphology, with cells transfected with the late form producing numerous thin and extended processes.
