Fig. 6. RNAi directed against integrin subunits causes similar phenotypes to,
and interactions with, perd and Grip. (A-D) High
concentrations of dsRNA for the βPS integrin gene mys (B), the
PS2 gene if (C), or the
PS1 gene mew (D) cause
muscle rounding, particularly in the ventral region. (Compare with negative
control dsRNA in A.) (E-I) Pooled data from quadruplicate experiments
combining low-concentration dsRNAs shows that mew exhibits
synergistic interactions with if (E; P<10-4 by
2 test against predicted additive distribution), perd
(F; P<10-6), and Grip (G;
P<10-24), whereas if interacts significantly
with Grip (I; P<10-20) but not with
perd (H).
