Morpholino-mediated knockdown of Pkd1a/b results in dorsal axis curvature in zebrafish embryos, which is not altered by expression of the PC1-CTTΔNLS. (a) Morpholinos corresponding to the zebrafish Pkd1a and Pkd1b Polycystin-1 genes were injected into zebrafish embryos at the 1-2 cell stage to impair expression of the two Pkd1 genes. The embryos were subsequently injected with 300ng of mRNA encoding HA-PC1-CTTΔNLS, where indicated, and imaged at 3dpf. (b) Embryo phenotypes were scored based on the degree of dorsal tail curvature: mild <90 degrees, moderate >90 degrees and severe = tail tip crossing the body axis. The data represent the averages of four separate experiments; error bars represent standard error of the mean (s.e.m.).
