MiP motor axon targeting is unaffected in N-cadherin mutant embryos. Wild-type (A) and cdh2hi3644Tg mutant (B) embryos were fixed at 27 hpf, immunolabeled with znp1 antibodies, and observed via confocal microscopy. Arrowheads point to the presumptive MiP axon in the dorsal myotome. The axons appear to have followed a distorted pattern of migration. C,D: Single MiP motor neurons labeled by mosaic expression of pren-EGFP using a mix of a plasmid expressing Gal4 under the mnx1 promoter and a plasmid expressing pren-EGFP under a 14X-UAS element. In all cases, the motor axons reached the horizontal myoseptum and extended a dorsal branch. Wild type, n = 6; cdh2hi3644Tg mutant, n = 6. Rostral is to the left and dorsal is to the top. Scale bars = 10 μm. |
