Late-p1 is severely affected in itga8 and fras1 single and double mutants. (A-D) Tissue sections labeled with anti-P63 (epithelial nuclei) and sox9a:EGFP (cartilage) at 72 hpf, and oriented as shown in A′. The late-forming outpocketing of pouch-1 (late-p1) is indicated with a yellow dotted line in wild type. However, late-p1 is absent in (B) itga8b1161, (C) fras1b1048, and (D) fras1b1048;itga8b1161 double mutants, leaving a large gap (blue line) between endoderm and ectoderm. (E) Symplectic cartilage length and ectoderm-endoderm gap distance were measured on confocal stacks of whole-mounted embryos expressing sox9a:GFP and labeled with anti-P63. Each measurement pair is plotted as a dot, with 95% density ellipses shown for each genotype. |
