Zebrafish embryos deficient in vps16 demonstrate abnormalities in LROs and myelination
Schematic representation of the HOPS complex, indicating the high amino acid identity between human and zebrafish for each subunit.
Comparison of control and vps16 embryos at 5 dpf. Compared with control, vps16 embryos have reduced pigmentation in the skin and retinal pigment epithelium and do not develop a swim bladder (arrows). Magnified views show altered melanocyte morphology on the head and pale, translucent eyes.
Myelination, as reported using the Tg(mbp:gfp‐caax) transgenic, is significantly reduced in vps16 crispants. The yellow box indicates the region assessed in (D). Scale bar 100 μm. Bar graphs represent data as mean ±SEM. Statistical comparisons by Mann–Whitney U‐tests (n = 6). **P < 0.01.
