Reduction of Zimp7 activity suppresses the loss of head detected in Vox and Vent mediated ventralizations. (A) Dark-blue signed embryos are normal looking ones. Injection of 8 ng of the zimp7-sp MO+p53 MO produces embryos with the axial-dorsal phenotype indicated with a light-blue sign. Co-injection of vox and vent mRNAs produces morphologies displayed and classified in the pictures with orange, green and yellow signs. Orange indicates embryos with mild head defects and a bent tail. Green signed embryos present forebrain loss and shortened axis; yellow signed embryos present a V3-like morphology including the loss of head. (B) A graph showing fractions of embryos at 52 hpf that displayed the indicated phenotypes.
