Figure Lengend Snippet: RNAi screen reveals that prey genes are involved in RC biology. (A) Summary of results from RNAi screening of 33 high-confidence prey [with each prey color coded to indicate its respective RC-APEX bait(s)]. pav, hts, cher and kel are included for 37 genes in total. Of the 33 prey genes screened, 19 had a phenotype, eight of which were RC specific. (B-I) Egg chambers of indicated genotypes were stained with TRITC-Phalloidin and HtsRC (B′-I′) to reveal RC size and morphology. Red arrows indicate abnormal F-actin structures. Yellow and blue arrows indicate deformed and collapsed RCs, respectively. (J) RC diameters of the indicated genotypes were measured in FIJI using HtsRC staining as a RC marker, and violin plots were used to represent the data. Thick-dashed white lines show median RC diameter, and thinner upper and lower white lines denote the upper and lower quartiles, respectively. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean RC diameter between the RNAi lines and w1118 control. ***P≤0.0001; ****P≤0.00001. (K) RNAi-mediated knockdown of smt3 caused collapsed and deformed RCs, marked by blue and yellow arrows, respectively. (L) Some RCs were positive for SUMO staining (inset). Scale bars: 20 μm in L, 25 μm in K and 50 μm in B-I.
Article Snippet: The final plasmid was injected into BL#24872 into the attP3B site on chr2L at Rainbow Transgenic Flies, Inc. otu-ovhts::V5::APEX1 The V5::APEX1 coding sequence was amplified from pcDNA3 - mito-V5::APEX1 ( Rhee et al., 2013 ; Addgene Plasmid #42607 ) using primers designed to create a V5::APEX1 fragment flanked by 3′ Xho I and 5′ Not I restriction sites. pCOH - ovhts::GFP ( Petrella et al., 2007 ) was digested with Xho I and Not I to excise GFP and the V5::APEX1 fragment was ligated into the plasmid in-frame and in place of GFP .
