Fidgetin is required for timely dendrite, but not axon, degeneration. RNAi and different mutant alleles of fidgetin were used to reduce fidgetin levels in neurons (RNAi) or globally (mutants). Axon degeneration and pruning were assayed as in the initial screen. Dendrite degeneration was scored by assaying beading at 9 h after cutting. *P<0.05 (two-tailed Fisher's exact test). Numbers on each bar indicate the number of animals assayed.
