Figure EV2. ERK7 inhibits lipid storage.
- Knockdown of ERK7 by independent RNAi (VDRC v109661) leads to elevated larval triacylglycerol (TAG) levels (N = 3 replicates of ≥ 10 larvae/replicate for each genotype).
- Average lipid droplet size is unchanged in ERK7 1 mutants (N = 30).
- Representative image of lipid droplet quantification, using FIJI. Purple: LipidTOX, green: GFP.
- Total area of lipid droplets in ERK7 overexpressing clones, when normalized by cell area (N ≥ 4 cells per genotype).
- In contrast to CG>ERK7, ERK7 expression in the IPCs does not decrease organismal TAG levels (N = 4 replicates of ≥ 10 larvae/replicate for each genotype).
Data information: N stands for the number of biological replicates. Error bars display standard deviation (SD). ns: not significant, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (Student’s t‐test).
