Figure Caption

Fig. 4 Phosphate homeostasis is disturbed in nob mutants. (A) Nob mutants can mineralize their skeleton in the absence of dgf^hu4581 function, and will even show ectopic mineralization (arrows point at protrusions of the cleithrum, a typical feature of dgf mutants). (B) Exogenous phosphate partially rescues the nob mutant phenotype. Arrow points at partially mineralized cleithrum. All images represent lateral views of the head skeleton at 6 dpf. (C) Quantitative PCR on 7-dpf embryos revealed that, compared with siblings (white bars), fgf23 expression levels are significantly down-regulated and npt2a expression is significantly up-regulated in nob mutant embryos (gray bars). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments, with *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.005.
