Phosphorylation of UHRF1 requires ccna2. (A) Experimental design. Embryos obtained from a cross of heterozygous ccna2hi2696 mutants were injected (arrow) with a construct containing UHRF1-EGFP driven by the heat shock (hsp70l) promoter. Mutants (red) were separated from wild-type (tan) siblings based on phenotype at 3 dpf, heat-shocked at 4 dpf, and stained for the presence of phosphorylated UHRF1. (B) Immunofluorescence of 4-dpf wild-type (WT) and ccna2hi2696 embryos shows that ccna2hi2696 mutants do not have phosphorylation of UHRF1 despite overexpression of UHRF1, as seen by the GFP, due to mosaic expression from the Tg(hsp70I: UHRF1-EGFP) transgene. Mosaic expression is obtained by this method, so not all nuclei are labeled with GFP. Scale bar: 25 μm.
