Wild-type human GLE1, but not the FinMajor mutant form, rescues the defects caused by Gle1 depletion. Embryos from gle1hi4161a/+ intercrosses were injected with a mix of two non-overlapping gle1 translation-blocking morpholinos (gle1 MOs). Following MO injection, the embryos were injected with buffer alone (gle1 MOs + Buffer) or with <140 pg of in vitro transcribed human GLE1 mRNA (wild type, gle1 MOs + hGLE1_WT; or the FinMajor mutant form, gle1 MOs + hGLE1_FinMajor) at the one-cell stage. The extent of head cell death – categorized as severe, mild or wild-type-like (WT-like) – was scored at 32 hpf. Only injecting wild-type GLE1 mRNA, but not the FinMajor mutant form, rescues the head cell death. At least three independent injections were performed for each condition. Values are mean ± s.e.m. n, number of embryos analyzed in each condition. |
