Fig. 2. dFMRP protein and mRNA are differentially developmentally regulated.
(A) Quantitative RT-PCR of dfmr1 mRNA levels normalized to
GAPDH2 and reported as fold changes relative to the first time point. Bars
show mean±s.e.m. (B) Western blot analysis of dFMRP protein.
Each lane represents a single head at indicated stages (2 heads per stage).
-Tubulin is the loading control. (C) Immunocytochemistry of
dFMRP in control (w1118) brains. CB, central brain; OL, optic lobe.
Scale bar: 100 µm. Stages: P3, 60-70 hours APF; P4, 88-96 hours APF; 0-3h,
0-3 hours AE; 1d, 21-24 hours AE; 4d, 96-112 hours AE; 7d, 168-184 hours AE;
9d, 216-232 hours AE.
