rbp7a expression in the developing Zebrafish.

rbp7a is strongly expressed within the dorsal forerunner cells (DFCs) and Kupffer’s vesicle (KV) in the developing zebrafish embryo: Panel A. 75% epiboly; Panel B. tailbud stage; Panel C. 8 somite stage.

Effects of rbp7a knockdown on zebrafish heart looping.

Morpholino knockdown of rbp7a results in randomized heart looping. cmlc2 expression at 38 hpf is used to visualize heart looping. Panel A: normal, left-sided heart looping; Panel B: reversed, right-sided heart looping; Panel C: Reversed heart looping occurs in 2% of uninjected control (WT) embryos (n = 315) and 42% of rbp7a morphant (MO) embryos (n = 312).

Morpholino knockdown of rbp7a results in perturbed spaw expression.

Panel A: representative images showing, left-sided spaw expression, right sided spaw expression, bilateral spaw expression and no spaw expression. Panel B. spaw scoring in WT (blue bars) and rbp7a morphant (MO) embryos (purple bars).

KV cilia are shortened in rbp7a morphants.

Panels A and B: Immunohistochemical staining of representative WT and morphant KV and cilia. Panel C: rbp7a morphants have shorter but not fewer KV cilia than WT embryos. * p<0.05.

rbp7a and spaw function together in left-right development.

Panel A: Injection of rbp7a (blue bars) or spaw (purple bars) morpholinos at standard concentrations results in significantly altered spaw expression. Panel B: Injection of either morpholino at subthreshold doses (rbp7a: blue bars; spaw: purple bars) results in more normal left-sided spaw expression. However, co-injection of both morpholinos at subthreshold doses leads to significantly altered spaw expression, similar to the higher dose spaw morphants.
