Fig. 6
Embryos raised at permissive temperature to dct+ stage, when shifted show no melanized cells. A) Wild-type embryo showing dct expression in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and neural crest melanoblasts, B) wild-type embryos 20 h after upshift (stage equivalent to 45 h at standard temperature) showing differentiated melanocytes, C) mitfafh53 embryo showing dct expression at time of temperature upshift, and D) mitfafh53 embryos 20 h after upshift do not display any melanized cells save for RPE. In A and C, embryos were treated with 0.2 mM PTU to suppress melanin synthesis. |
