UHRF1 levels are tightly regulated, and phosphorylation of UHRF1 at Ser-661 is essential for zebrafish embryogenesis. (A) Western blot with α-myc of 6, 12, and 24 hpf embryos injected with 400 pg of mRNA encoding full-length WT-UHRF1 and UHRF1S661A. Tubulin is the loading control. (B) Both depletion and overexpression of UHRF1 are deleterious to embryonic survival. Only 57% of morphants and 61% of embryos injected with 6X-myc-UHRF1 survive to 50% epiboly. Survival improves to 81% when the morpholino is coinjected with the 6X-myc-UHRF1 mRNA (compare columns 2–4 and columns 3–4; for both, p < 0.0001 by Fisher's exact test). Coinjection of morpholino and mRNA encoding UHRF1S661A mRNA results in no difference in mortality as compared with morpholino alone; p = 0.9146 by Fisher's exact test. mRNA = 400 pg. The total number of embryos and experiments are noted under each bar.
