The zebrafish mci RNA is not abundantly expressed maternally, but is expressed in MCC precursors of the kidney tubules. (A) End-point PCR on cDNA samples from 1.5, 5, 14, 18 and 24 hpf embryos showing that maternal contribution of the mci transcript is minimal (1.5 hpf). actin-b1 (?-act) was used as the loading control. (B, C) mci transcript, as revealed by in situ hybridization, is present in a salt-and-pepper pattern (asterisks) in the kidney tubules of 24 hpf embryos (wild-type mib sibling panel in B, and the uninjected wild-type embryo panel in C), corresponding to MCC precursor cells. In N-deficient backgrounds (the mib mutant panel in B, and jagged2a MO injected embryo in panel in C), mci expression is observed in a much larger population of cells in the pronephric ducts. The images are representative of 2 independently performed experiments. Scale bars ?= ?100 ??m. |
