Figure Lengend Snippet: (A,B) Maximal-intensity projections of micrographs from a control and a sema7a -/- neuromast depict the presynaptic aggregates marked by CTBP (cyan). The approximate hair cell basal region is outlined by dashed green circles. (C-F) Plots quantitate the numbers of presynaptic aggregates (C,D) and their areas (E,F), in each hair cell across developmental stages. One hundred and fifty-two, 317, and 325 hair cells were analyzed from 2 dpf, 3 dpf, and 4 dpf control larvae, respectively. One hundred and sixty, 216, and 177 hair cells were analyzed from 2 dpf, 3 dpf, and 4 dpf sema7a -/- mutant larvae, respectively. (I,J) Maximal-intensity projections from micrographs of a control and a sema7a -/- neuromast depict the postsynaptic aggregates marked by MAGUK (yellow). The approximate hair cell basal region is outlined by dashed green circles. (K,N) Plots quantitate the numbers of postsynaptic aggregate (K,L) and their areas (M,N), in each hair cell across developmental stages. One hundred and fifty, 218, and 167 hair cells were analyzed from 2 dpf, 3 dpf, and 4 dpf control larvae, respectively. Ninety-seven, 141, and 141 hair cells were analyzed from 2 dpf, 3 dpf, and 4 dpf sema7a -/- mutant larvae, respectively. Scale bars, 5 μ m.
Article Snippet: To generate the hsp70:sema7a sec -mKate2 construct, gateway cloning was performed by combining the plasmids p5E-hsp70 , pME-sema7a sec , p3E-mKate2-myc no-pA (Addgene, 80812), and pDESTtol2pACrymCherry (Addgene, 64023) with LR Clonase II Plus (Invitrogen).
