The c163 lesion is a nonsense mutation in sec61al1. (A) Linkage to microsatellite markers was used to map c163 close to z7248, near the sec61al1 locus. (B) c163 mutants are characterized by a reduction in jaw and head volume, and a short, dorsally curved axis. These phenotypes are also seen in embryos injected with 500 pg sec61al1ATG-MO. (C) Compared to a non-injected control, (C′) treatment with a morpholino complementary to the start site or (C′′) to a splice acceptor site in the sec61al1 transcript results in excess kctd12.1-expressing neurons in the right habenula. (D, D′) The retroviral insertion mutant, sec61al1hi1058 fails to complement c163. Transheterozygotes for hi1058 and c163 have increased numbers of kctd12.1-expressing cells in the habenulae. Scale bars: B-D′ = 20 µm.
