Delamination of premigratory neural crest cells from the dorsal neural tube depends both upon environmental signals and cell-intrinsic mechanisms and is a prerequisite for cells to engage in migration. Here we show that avian neural crest cells synchronously emigrate from the neural tube in the S phase of the cell cycle. Furthermore, specific inhibition of the transition from G1 to S both in ovo and in explants blocks delamination, whereas arrest at the S or G2 phases has no immediate effect. Thus, the events taking place during G1 that control the transition from G1 to S are necessary for the epithelial to mesenchymal conversion of crest precursors.
