Reduction of endocytosis restores the Ptp4EPtp10D phenotypes. a Confocal images displaying the dorsal trunk (DT) of late-stage 16 (left column) and early-stage 17 (right column) wild-type, Ptp4EPtp10D, Ptp4EPtp10D;rab52 and Ptp4EPtp10D;vps45JJ−2 embryos stained for the luminal protein Verm (grey). Scale bars, 10 μm. b Plots showing the average number of wild-type (n = 24), Ptp4EPtp10D (n = 66) and Ptp4EPtp10D; rab52 (n = 59) mutant embryos with luminal Dextran-TR at 17.5 h after egg laying (1.5 h prior to the luminal clearance initiation in wild type). The premature luminal clearance phenotype of Ptp4EPtp10D is suppressed in Ptp4EPtp10D;rab52 triple mutant embryos. **P < 0.001. c Plots depicting the average DT (Tr8) diameter in wild-type (n = 38), Ptp4EPtp10D (n = 45), Ptp4EPtp10D;rab52/+ (n = 28), Ptp4EPtp10D;rab52 (n = 56), Ptp4EPtp10D;vps45JJ−2 (n = 29), Ptp4EPtp10D;btl>ShiRM (n = 37), Ptp4EPtp10D;rab11j2D1 (n = 22), Ptp4EPtp10D;btl>Rab11S25N (n = 47) and Ptp4EPtp10D;btl>Rab11Q70L (n = 27) embryos. The DT diameter phenotype observed in Ptp4EPtp10D mutants is significantly restored in Ptp4EPtp10D;rab52, Ptp4EPtp10D;vps45JJ−2 and Ptp4EPtp10D;btl>ShiRM embryos. ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.005. Unpaired two tailed t tests were performed in relation to Ptp4EPtp10D mutant data set (b, c). Error bars show s.e.m.
