Head morphology of hypo-Q/R-editing morphants.
(A) Bright-field images of morphants established in the wild type background between 24 to 72 hpf. The genotypes of the morphants are indicated on the top, where adar2MOc, adar2MOsp, adar2MOt, adar2MOt-p53AUG and gria2αQRMO respectively indicate embryos receiving the mismatch morpholino (MOc), splicing blocker (MOsp), translation blocker (MOt), MOt plus p53-MOAUG [22], and RNA editing blocker (QRMO) morpholinos. Developmental time is shown on the left. The brain ventricles are enlarged and the size of heads is reduced in the hypo-Q/R-editing morphants. (B) Bright-field images of p53 mutant (tp53zdf1) receiving morpholinos described in (A) between 24 to 72 hpf. The morphological changes of adar2MO and gria2αQRMO cannot be suppressed by losing p53 activity.
