Fig. 4

myh9b is required for cell shortening at the MHBC during morphogenesis. (A-F) Live confocal images showing the MHB region of 24 ss zebrafish embryos injected with mGFP and coinjected with control MO (A-B), myh9a MO (C), myh9b MO (D), myh10 MO (E), or mypt1 MO (F). (G) Quantification of the cell length (X) at the MHBC (see lines in A, C-F). (H) Quantification of cell length 40 µm outside of the MHBC (Y) (see lines in B-F). One-way ANOVA with multiple t-test comparisons was performed to determine significance between control and test groups. Asterisks indicate p<0.001. Double asterisks indicate p<0.05. Results are shown as±s.e.m. Control MO, n=48; myh9a MO, n=10; myh9b MO, n=16; myh10 MO, n=18; mypt1 MO, n=20. Scale bars: 25 µm.
