Fig. S5
Disc shedding is unaffected in osm-3/kif17mw405 and cos2/kif7mw406 retina. (Top, Left) TEM image of 7dpf wild-type retina. Depicted is an OS that has recently undergone disc shedding with a phagosome at the OS tip. Scale bar is 5 µm. (Top, Right) Inset of the white box of the left image clearly showing the phagosome as a distinct structure from the OS. Scale bar is 500 nm. (Bottom) Quantification of disc shedding in control, osm-3/kif17mw405, and cos2/kif7mw406 retina. Phagosomes were counted along an average total length of 235±2 µm of RPE for four biological replicates of each genotype. Neither the number of phagosomes per length of RPE nor the area of individual phagosomes show any significant differences between genotypes.
