Mitfa-dependent maintenance of mitfa expression.

A,B) Expression of Mitfa is reduced in mitfa^b692 mutant. A, B) Embryos from incross of mitfa heterozygotes were treated with PTU and processed for in situ hybridization with mitfa probes at 30 hpf stage. A majority (53/69; 73%) showed normal strong mitfa expression and were presumed wild-type siblings (A, WT), whereas 33/124 (27%) had weakened expression and were presumed mitfa mutants (B). C–J) Injection of RNA encoding WT Mitfa drives ectopic expression of dct (C,G) and mitfa (D,H) at both 6 hpf (C,D) and 10.5 hpf (G,H), whereas RNA encoding the Mitfa(b692) mutant form does not (E,F,I,J). Expression of the endogenous mitfa gene is detected using an anti-sense probe corresponding to the 32 UTR of the gene, a sequence absent from the injected RNA. Scale bar:100 μm.
