Mib1, Notch1a and Notch3 are not essential for DeltaC endocytosis. (A-C′) Distribution of DeltaC in wild-type zebrafish embryos (A,A′) and in two mib alleles, mibm178 (B,B′) and mibta5ab (C,C′). (D,D′) Distribution of DeltaC in Notch MO embryos. Eight-somite stage embryos were double stained with zebrafish DeltaC antibody zdC1 (grey in A-D, green in A′-D′) and β-catenin (red in A′-D′). A dorsal view of a lateral neurogenic domain in the caudal neural plate is shown. In WT embryos, only subset of cells express DeltaC in cytoplasmic puncta (A,A′). A neurogenic phenotype allows more cells to express DeltaC in both mib mutants and Notch MO embryos as Notch signaling is reduced (B-D). However, DeltaC distribution remains cytoplasmic in mibm178 (B,B′) and Notch MO embryos (D,D′), and it only accumulates on the cell surface in mibta52b mutant embryos (C,C′).
