Fig. 7. Ser939 Phospho-Tuberin (green) and
-tubulin (red) immunofluorescence
in retinal explants. (A) After 15 hours in culture, Phospho-Tuberin
(arrowheads) is detected in retinal axons, with higher levels in the
esrom mutant (B). (C) At this time, Phospho-Tuberin
immunofluorescence is twofold higher on average in esrom axon tips
(*P<0.0001); box plot shows medians and quartiles from
two normalized independent experiments (nwt=83, nesr=99
and nwt=26, nesr=78). After 26 hours in culture, the
fasciculation phenotype is apparent, and Phospho-Tuberin staining difference
is intensified. Scale bar: 50 µm.
