Variants of Numb.

(A) The PCR strategy used to detect Numb splice variants is shown. Red arrows depict the locations of the forward and reverse primers used. Exons (black boxes) are numbered 1–10. (B) cDNA was …

Representative Western blot showing downregulation of Numb levels in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle from animals used for ex vivo physiology experiments.

Data were analyzed by unpaired t-test. **p<0.01. Data as mean +/- STD. The lanes were cut from the same blot.

Figure 3 with 1 supplement
Effect of Numb or Numb/Numbl conditional knockout (cKO) on contractile function of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle during ex vivo physiological testing.

(A) Specific tension generated during tetanic contraction at the indicated frequencies is shown for weight normalized EDL muscle harvested from HSA-MCM/Numb(f/f) or HSA-MCM/Numb(f/f)/Numbl(f/f) mice …

Figure 3—figure supplement 1
Force–frequency data from Figure 3 were replotted for each group as percent maximal force produced for that group.
Time to peak tension (A), half-relaxation time (B), and fatigue index (C) are shown for HSA-MCM/Numb(f/f) and double (HSA-MCM/Numb(f/f)/Numbl(f/f) mice) at 14 d after starting injections of tamoxifen or vehicle.

Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. (A) F = 4.561, DFn = 3, DFd = 13; *p<0.05; (B) F = 3.679, DFn = 3, DFd = 13; (C) F = 0.9772, DFn = 3, DFd = 13. N = 3–6. Datas …

Numb immunoprecipitation.

(A) Representative western blot of Numb immunoprecipitated from differentiated C2C12 myotubes. Input: original C2C12 lysate; Numb: goat anti-Numb IgG, control IgG: normal goat IgG. The blot was …
