(A) Map of the transgenic insertion sites for psmb1^hi2939 and psmc6^hi3593 mutants. (B and C) Widefield imaging of psmb1^hi2939 and psmc6^hi3593 mutants. Both have craniofacial malformations, and psmc6^?/? larvae have cardiac edema and blood pooling in the brain (C, white arrowhead). (D and E) Widefield imaging of Alcian blue?stained larvae. (D) psmb1^?/? larvae (4 dpf) lack cartilages contributing to the lower jaw and have a reduced ethmoid plate (ep) and abnormal trabecula (t). Cartilage remnants (arrowhead) from the lower jaw appear in a subset of homozygotes. (E) psmc6^?/? lack most cranial cartilage. (F?I) Measurements of craniofacial features obtained from ImageJ analysis of Alcian blue?stained larvae (4 dpf; ***P ? 0.001, ****P ? 0.0001, ordinary 1-way ANOVA with Dunnett?s multiple-comparison test following an observation of a difference in measurements between +/+ and ?/? embryos; psmb1^+/+, n = 3; psmb1^+/?, n = 4; psmb1^?/?, n = 4; psmc6^+/+, n = 2; psmc6^+/?, n = 5; and psmc6^?/?, n = 5). (J) Anti-Hu/Anti-tubulin IHC at 72 hpf. psmb1^?/? and psmc6^?/? have abnormal brain structure and cranial ganglia (white star) and nerve development (white arrowheads). (K) ISH for neurod1 at 72 hpf. psmb1^?/? and psmc6^?/? have abnormal and missing vagal/cranial ganglia (white arrowheads). Scale bars: 100 ?m. Data shown represent mean ± SD.
