pk2 knockdown suppresses the bbs7-related retrograde melanosome transport defect. (A) Diagram of melanosome transport in melanocytes by the intracellular transport machinery. Dark-adapted are dispersed by anterograde transport while in response to light, they move to the perinuclear region by retrograde transport. (B)–(B′) 5 dpf Zebrafish larva before and after epinephrine treatment. Epinephrine stimulates retrograde transport while caffeine stimulates anterograde transport. (C) Graph of retrograde transport time in different groups. bbs7 knockdown leads to a delay in the retrograde transport while pk2 knockdown alone does not. However, the double knockdown larvae show a suppression of the retrograde transport delay. Uninj, n=50; bbs7 MO, n=52; pk2 MO, n=50; bbs7 MO+pk2 MO, n=51. Error bars are presented as standard error. p<0.01; ANOVA with Tukey. |
