Figure 5.
Effect of partial RNAi knockdown of pdha-1 on indole-containing metabolites. a) Partial RNAi (pdha-1) strongly reduces IAA levels, moderately reduces ICA levels, and strongly increases IPA levels in the worm. [2H5]-IAA for GC-MS and [2H5]-IPA for LC-MS was spiked into samples to control for differences in extraction efficiencies across samples. Data represent the mean ± SD of five independent experiments. Examples are shown of GC-MS traces used in the analysis of IAA (b) and ICA (c) and LC-MS traces used in the analysis of IPA (d). These traces are representative of those traces that were analyzed to generate the graph in (a).
