Characterization of Qdprb1.
(A) Lateral views, anterior to the left of 72 hpf embryos. p53 knockdown does not rescue the microcephaly phenotype of Qdprb1 hypomorphic embryos. (B) RT-PCR confirms the predicted inclusion of intron 3 upon injection of the splice blocking MO resulting in a strong reduction of correctly spliced mRNA (RT-qPCR, C). (D). Qdprb1 morphant phenotypes using low concentrations of each MO and a combination of both showing a synergy effect between both. (E) Lateral view, 72hpf ATG MO Qdprb1 injected embryos reproduce the phenotype of Splice MO Qdprb1 hypomorphic embryos. (F) Lateral views, anterior to the left. Co-injection of qdprb1mRNA in Qdprb1 hypomorphic embryos rescues brain development.
