Plod has no visible effect on Pericardin deposition or multimerisation. (A-D) We tested the potential role of dPlod on Pericardin secretion and deposition using the molecularly characterised dplod mutant allele dplodEY11195 (B,D). Stage 17 embryos were stained for anti-Prc (A,B). The same allele was probed for anti-ColIV (C,D). (E) To check for a potential role of Plod on Pericardin multimerisation, we extracted protein from control and dPlod mutants and probed the extracts by Western blot analysis. As a loading control Western blots were probed for GAPDH.
