Cerberus 1, also called DAND4, is a member of the DAN domain family of BMP antagonists that includes DAN (DAND1), Gremlin/Drm (DAND2), PRDC (Protein Related to Dan and Cerberus; DAND3), and COCO/Dante (DAND5). DAN family members contain a cysteine-knot domain that is homologous to that found in other TGF-beta superfamily ligands (1, 2). Mature mouse Cerberus 1 shares 40%, 29%, and 66% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with chick, Xenopus, and human Cerberus 1, respectively. Within the cysteine-knot domain, it shares 24-37% aa sequence identity with mouse DAN, Gremlin, PRDC, and COCO. Cerberus 1 is a secreted 38 kDa glycoprotein that forms disulfide-linked homodimers (3). Cerberus-S, which is generated by proteolysis in Xenopus, is a short version of the molecule and includes the C-terminal cysteine-knot domain (4). At the onset of gastrulation, Cerberus 1 is transiently expressed in anterior endodermal structures in response to Nodal and Shh (3, 5-9). Cerberus 1 binds BMP-4 and Nodal and inhibits their activities. Xenopus Cerberus has also been shown to bind Xenopus Wnt8. These inhibitory functions of Cerberus favor mesodermal development in the anterior region of the gastrula and suppresses posterior mesodermal differentiation (3, 4, 6, 8, 10-12). In chick and Xenopus, Cerberus 1 also regulates, but is not required for embryonic left-right polarization, neurulation, and head and heart induction (4-8, 13).

Detection of Cerberus 1 by Immunohistochemistry
The molecular signature of the primitive streak cells contributing to the ventricles or outflow/atria are distinct.(A) Mid-late streak and OB/EB TnGPF-CreERT2/+; R26RtdTomato/tdTomato embryos analysed in the scRNA-seq. Embryos were selected at the mid-late streak stages (dissected at E6+21h and resulting from tamoxifen administration at E6+5h) and at the OB-EB stage (dissected at E7+3h and resulting from tamoxifen administration at E6+21h). (B, C) Expression heat map of marker genes. Scale indicates z-scored expression values. The data can be found in S7 Source Data. (D) UMAP plot showing the integrated data from the 2 scRNA-seq mid-late streak and OB/EB datasets (see also S11 Fig). Colour codes correspond to the embryonic stage of collection or population identity. The data underlying (D) can be found in S7 Source Data. (E) Expression heat map of marker genes comparing the aPS and primitive streak cells at the mid-late streak stages and primitive streak cells at the OB-EB stages (S7 Source Data). Scale indicates z-scored expression values. (F) UMAP plot of the aPS, MS-LS primitive streak, and OB-EB primitive streak cells colour coded. (G, H) Violin plots showing the normalised log2 expression value of Eomes and T (G) and Foxa2, Lhx1, Sp8 Hes1, Ccnd2, and Notch2 (H) in the aPS and primitive streak at MS-LS and OB-EB stages. The data underlying (G, H) can be found in S7 Source Data. aPS, anterior primitive streak; DE, definitive endoderm; EB, early bud; LPM/Ex-meso, lateral plate mesoderm and extraembryonic mesoderm, mesenchyme; LS, late streak; MS, mid-streak; Nascent meso, nascent mesoderm; OB, no bud; PGC, primordial germs cells; PS, primitive streak; scRNA-seq, single-cell RNA sequencing; UMAP, Uniform Manifold Approximation Projection.
