Western blot analysis shows dnajb6 double mutants have an increase in Pink1 levels indicating mitochondrial damage. (A) VDAC protein levels were increased at 6 dpf in dnajb6b mutants and double mutants. (B) At 3 mpf VDAC protein levels were significantly increased in dnajb6a single mutants but not in double mutants. (C) Western blot of Pink1 at 6 dpf shows no significant differences between genotypes. (D) Double mutants show significantly higher levels of Pink1 compared to their wildtype siblings at 3 mpf. Values are normalised to wildtype and GAPDH was used as a loading control. Error bars represent SEM for three biological replicates at 6 dpf and eight samples from 3 biological replicates at 3 mpf. Analysis was completed using a one-way ANOVA and two-way Dunnett multiple comparisons test.
