Formin mutants have small sarcomeres, and fhod-1 mutants have reduced levels of some muscle proteins. (A) The distance between Z-lines in x/y cross-sections was measured as a proxy for sarcomere width in the indicated strains. Shown are mean values of two independent experiments (n=10 for each experiment), with standard error of the mean indicated by error bars. Significant differences are indicated by (*) for p<0.01 or (**) for p<0.001. (B) Whole worm extracts of wild-type and fhod-1(−) worms were probed for muscle-specific MYO-3 and muscle-enriched actin, with tubulin used as a loading control. MYO-3 was reduced ~50% and actin is reduced ~10% in the mutant worms relative to wild-type.
