Fig. 9. Polysome profiling of NF-M and peripherin mRNAs.
Black bars indicate the distribution of NF-M or peripherin
mRNA across fractions, represented as a percentage of the total of each
respective mRNA in the gradient (right ordinate). The black line depicts
A260 values (left ordinate) across fractions. `M' indicates the
position of the monosomal peak in the A260 trace. (Top four panels)
During normal development, NF-M (left) and peripherin
(right) profiles shift from right to left, indicating mRNA moving from poorly
translated to efficiently translated fractions. (Bottom two panels)
Bilaterally injected hnRNP K MO1 embryos processed at stage 29/30.
hnRNP K knockdown strongly inhibited the shift into heavier polysomal
fractions for NF-M but not peripherin mRNA.
