GRAF1 is essential for maintaining somite architecture and myoseptal boundaries. A, Western blot analysis for GRAF1 in Con MO- and GRAF1 Mo-injected embryos at the indicated stages of development. IB, immunoblot; St., stain. B, stage 39 GRAF1 Mo-injected embryos exhibit edema (panel b) and anteroposterior axis defects (panel c) relative to control embryo (panel a). C, laser scanning confocal images of whole-mount stage 30–37 Con Mo- and GRAF1 Mo-injected somites reveal progressive degeneration. Embryos were stained with Tm or laminin (LAM) to visualize cells or myosepta, respectively.
