Figure Caption

Fig. S4 Controls for morpholino mediated knock-down of itgα7 and mlp. A,C) RTpcr on cDNA of itgα7-splice MO (A) or mlp-splice MO (B) injected embryos shows severe reduction of the amount of wt transcript compared to uninjected control embryos (uic). As a control for the amount of cDNA, RT-PCR for ef1α was performed. Larger transcript are observed in both the itgα7- splice MO and mlp- splice MO injected embryos (asterisk). Sequencing of these larger PCR product confirmed the defective splicing of both transcripts resulting in a introduction of a premature stop codon. The arrowhead indicates an nonspecific PCR product.
B,D) Genomic sequence of itgα7 exon1-intron1 boundary (B) and mlp exon3-intron3 boundary (D) with MO-target site indicated (in blue) and the premature stop codon present in the intron (in red).
