Figure Caption

Fig. 1 All three neural crest-derived chromatophore cell types are affected by enz mutations.
Dorsal views of 54 hpf (A–E) and 82 hpf (F–J) wild-type (A, F) and enz mutant (B–E, G–J) embryos. (A, A inset) Wild-type melanophores are stellate and darkly pigmented at 54 hpf. (B–E) In contrast, enz^b431 (B), enz^os7 (C), enz^os15 (D) and enz^os18 (E) mutant embryos have small, punctate melanophores at this stage (compare insets in A and B). Yellow xanthophores, observed dorsally in the head of wild-type embryos (arrowhead in A) appear to be absent in enz homozygotes (B–E, arrowheads). (F–J) Iridescent iridiphores are also reduced in size in enz mutants (G–J, arrowheads) compared to wild-type siblings (F, arrowheads) at 82 hpf.
