Fig. 7 Rescue and phenocopy experiments confirm the role of unc45a in the kus^tr12 vascular phenotype. Injection of full length (B; n = 90) but not C-terminally truncated (C; n = 13) unc45a mRNA (unc45a^kus, corresponding to the kus^tr12 allele) restored a wild type vascular phenotype to 67% of kus^tr12 mutants (compare to uninjected kus^tr12, A). Conversely, injection of an unc45a translation blocking morpholino (ATG MO, E; n = 144) or exon 13/14 splice donor site blocking morpholino (splice MO, F; n = 60) produced a kus^tr12-like AVM phenotype in 20% and 23%, respectively, of wild type embryos (compare to uninjected wild type, D). A–C, F: 2D confocal projections of 74 hpf TG(flk1:GFP^la116;gata1:dsRed) embryos, labeling endothelial cells green and blood cells red. D, E: 2D confocal projections of angiograms of 74 hpf embryos. Lateral views, anterior to the left. PHS, primary head sinus.
