(A) Diagram of AZT treatment of pregnant WT and Mael+/− mutant females.
(B) Quantification of untreated and AZT-treated WT and Mael-null oocytes. Mean ± St.dev. from at least three independent measurements are shown (two-tailed unpaired Student's t-test, ns-P>0.05; ***-P<0.001; ** - P<0.01, *-P<0.05).
(C) Whole mount TRA98 (green) labeling of fetal oocytes in untreated and AZT-treated WT and Mael-null ovaries.
(D) Dot-plot of RMN L1ORF1p levels in AZT-treated WT and Mael-null oocytes (two-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, ns-P>0.05, ***-P<0.001).
(E) Quantification of untreated and AZT-treated WT and Mael-null E18.5 oocytes exhibiting evidence of DNA damage and MSUC (by γH2AX staining), persistent DSBs (by RAD51 foci), asynapsis (by abnormal SYCP2 staining), MSUC (by BRCA1 staining) and lacking MLH1 foci. (Two-tailed Fisher's exact test, ns-P>0.05; ***-P<0.001; ** - P<0.01, *-P<0.05).
