Article Title: Styxl2 regulates de novo sarcomere assembly by binding to non-muscle myosin IIs and promoting their degradation
doi: 10.7554/eLife.87434
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) A schematic of mouse Styxl2 protein. DSPc (red): dual-specificity phosphatase, catalytic domain. The numbers denote the positions of various amino acids in mouse Styxl2 including Ser (S) –225. ( B ) The expression of Styxl2 protein in different mouse tissues. 100 μg of soluble mouse tissue lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis. GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. SM: skeletal muscles. ( C ) The expression of Styxl2 protein in C2C12 myoblasts before and after differentiation in culture. MHC: myosin heavy chain. ( D ) Zebrafish zygotes were either mock-injected or injected with a Styxl2-specific morpholino (MO). Sarcomeres in muscles at 48 hpf were revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Representative images were shown. Scale bar: 500 nm. ( E ) Sarcomeres in fast and slow muscles of zebrafish embryos at 24 hpf were revealed by immunostaining using specific antibodies as indicated. Ctrl: control (non-treated); MO: Styxl2 -morpholino-treated. The nuclei of slow and fast muscle fibers were counter-stained with an anti-Prox1 antibody and DAPI, respectively. Scale bar: 10 μm.
