Fig 4 Different 3′ UTRs have distinct effects on mRNA localization to myelin sheaths.

(A) Work flow to identify 3′ UTR candidates from RNA-seq data [27,43,44]. (B) Representative images from MS2 system showing localization of mRNAs containing different 3′ UTR sequences in oligodendrocytes. Asterisks mark cell bodies. Scale bars, 10 μm. (C) Table listing candidate 3′ UTRs incorporated into the MS2 system, 3′ UTR length, and the percentage of sequence that was cloned based on the annotated genome (GRCz11). (D) Average mRNA abundance, measured by average EGFP fluorescent intensity, per myelin sheath for each 3′ UTR. Normalized to sv40 control, statistical significance evaluated using Wilcoxon test. A minimum (n) of 5 larvae and 18 sheaths were used in each condition at 4 dpf. The underlying numerical data can be found in S1 and S2 Data. 3' UTR, 3' untranslated region; dpf, days post fertilization; RNA-seq, RNA sequencing.
