ATX-2 does not control animal size and body fat content through ribosome synthesis. (A) Northern blot analysis of total RNA extracted from worms. (Left) Digital capture of an ethidium bromide-stained denaturing agarose gel, showing the steady-state accumulation of mature 18S and 26S rRNAs. 26S/18S rRNA ratio calculated from Agilent electropherograms. (Middle and Right) Gel transferred to nylon and hybridized to probes to detect major pre-rRNA intermediates. (B) A pre-rRNA processing pathway in worms (35).
