Fig. 5. Loss of additional alleles from the genes encoding canonical cap binding factors demonstrates a dose dependence in their compensation abilities. (A) Weights of Δeif4eb/Δeif4e1c double mutants compared to of Δeif4eb/Δeif4e1c double/eif4ea hets (Mean: wildtype = 0.287g, Δeif4ea = 0.315g, Δeif4eb/ Δeif4e1c = 0.110g, Δeif4ea-HET/Δeif4eb/Δeif4e1c = 0.039g; ANOVA wt - Δeif4ea p-value = 0.712, ANOVA wt- Δeif4eb/Δeif4e1c p value < 0.0001; N = 47, 37, 34, 14). (B) Lengths of respective mutants (Mean: wildtype = 27.5 mm, Δeif4eb/Δeif4e1c = 20.5 mm, Δeif4ea-HET/Δeif4eb/Δeif4e1c = 15.1 mm, ANOVA p value < 0.001, N = 48, 34, 14). (C)Cardiomyocyte counts from Mef2c positive cells (Mean: wildtype = 2882, Δeif4eb/Δeif4e1c = 1962, Δeif4ea-HET/Δeif4eb/ Δeif4e1c = 1046, ANOVA p value < 0.0001, N = 9, 10, 9). (D) Images of representative hearts. (E) Time course of triple mutant survival. The Δeif4eb/Δeif41c double mutants die by 30 days post fertilization (dpf). Removing each additional eif4ea allele increases death further with triple mutants being lethal by 30dpf showing that the Δeif4ea/Δeif4eb survival depends on eif4e1c. Error bars represent mean ± s.e.m. Scale bar = 100um.
