Figure Caption

Fig. 4 def encodes a nuclear protein, and its expression is enriched in the endoderm organs. (A, top panel, lanes 2-7) RNA gel blot hybridization revealed that def had two transcribed forms that peaked at 12 hpf and 1 dpf and then gradually reduced to a lower level at 5 dpf. (Lane 9) The shorter form was more abundant in the adult liver (AL). (Lane 8) def expression is undetectable in the def^hi429 mutant. (elf1a) elongation factor 1a. (B) Immunostaining using anti-Def antibody showed that Def is a nuclear-localized protein. (C-F) Whole-mount in situ hybridization using a def riboprobe to examine the expression patterns of def at 2 dpf (C), 3 dpf (D), 4 dpf (E), and 5 dpf (F). def expression was specifically enriched in the digestive organs from 3 to 5 dpf. (in) Intestine; (lv) liver; (p) pancreas; (sw) swimbladder. (G,H) Sectioning in situ hybridization showed that def expression is specifically enriched in the intestine (in), liver (lv), and exocrine pancreas (ex) but is excluded from the endocrine pancreas (en) at 3 and 4 dpf.
