Smad4 and Max Are Required in the YSL for BMP Signaling in the Embryo Embryos injected into the YSL with 8 ng of maxmisMO (A–E), maxMO (F–J), smad4misMO>YSL (K–O), or smad4MO>YSL (P–T). (A, A2, F, F2, K, K2, P, and P2) Image of a live morphants at prim-5. (B, G, L, and Q) egr2b expression at prim-5. (C, H, M, and R) gata1 expression at 8-somites (12 hpf). (D, I, N, and S) pSmad1/5 gradient at 75% epiboly. (E, J, O, and T) bmp2b/swr expression at 75% epiboly. (U) The presence (blue) or absence (red) of the ventral tailfin was scored in smad4MO>YSL morphants injected with 100 pg β-galactosidase mRNA, 100 pg HA-smad4 mRNA, or 25 pg bmp2b/swr mRNA. Tailfin defects (red) were also scored in maxMO>YSL morphants injected with 100 pg β-galactosidase mRNA, 100 pg HA-max mRNA, or 25 pg bmp2b/swr mRNA. Anterior is to the left in (A)–(C), (F)–(H), (K)–(M), and (P)–(R). Dorsal is to the right in (D), (E), (I), (J), (N), (O), (S), and (T). p d 0.05. See also Figures S2 and S5. |
