Figure Legend Snippet: Expression of hmx genes in mutant zebrafish embryos and before the midblastula transition. (A–E, G–R) Lateral views of expression in whole embryos at 1.5 hpf (16 cells, A–E) or the spinal cord (G–R) at 27 hpf. (A–E) Animal pole, up. (G–R) Rostral, left; Dorsal, up. (L and M, O and P) White asterisk indicates expression in the lateral line primordium. None of the hmx genes are maternally expressed at 1.5 hpf, as assessed by in situ hybridization (A–E), and, in the case of hmx2 and hmx3a , quantitative RT-PCR on whole embryos (F). No maternal expression of hmx2 and hmx3a was detected and zygotic expression was not observed via quantitative RT-PCR until 14 hpf (F). hmx1 (G), hmx3b (J), and hmx4 (K) are not expressed in the spinal cord of hmx2;hmx3a SU44 deletion mutants. However, hmx1 and hmx4 were still expressed in the head, as shown in Figure 1 (data not shown), confirming that the in situ hybridization experiment had worked. We never detect expression of hmx3b in WT embryos at 27 hpf (see Figure 1 ). (H and I) As expected, given the deletion of the entire hmx3a coding sequence and all but the last 66 bp of hmx2 coding sequence in hmx2;hmx3a SU44 mutants ( Figure 4 ), we did not detect any hmx2 (H) or hmx3a (I) transcripts in these mutants. (L and M) hmx2 mRNA does not exhibit nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) in hmx2 SU37 or hmx2 SU38 mutants. (N) In hmx2 SU39 mutants, deletion of all but the first 84 and the last 60 bases of hmx2 coding sequence ( Figure 4 ) generates a severely truncated hmx2 transcript that cannot be detected by our hmx2 ISH probe. Generation of a short ISH probe targeted to the predicted truncated transcript product of hmx2 SU39 mutants also failed to detect hmx2 expression in these mutants (data not shown). (O–R) hmx3a mRNA does not exhibit NMD in hmx3a SU42 (O), hmx3a sa23054 (P), hmx3a SU3 (Q), or hmx3a SU43 (R) mutant embryos. Bar, 280 µm (A–E), 50 µm (G–R).

( a ) Wiggle plots showing coverage in 3′-untranslated regions for B2m, Anxa5 and Cybb in the 24 bone marrow-derived macrophages profiled. ( b – d ) Sequence alignments from targeted RT–PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing of bacterial colonies for ( b ) B2m, ( c ) Anxa5 and ( d ) Cybb transcripts from gDNA and cDNA from a bulk sample (amplified using standard PCR), and cDNA of single cells (amplified using a modified OneStep RT–PCR protocol, per Supplementary Fig. 4 ). Alignments, showing the sequence space surrounding a particular editable site, are clustered by sample. Alignments are colour-coded to indicate whether the sequence aligned contained (red) or lacked (grey) editing in the length of the amplicon. Though a C-to-U change may not be shown in the narrow window illustrated, a red sequence would indicate that the amplicon sequence contained at least one C-to-U edit elsewhere (red). Lack of editing in the gDNA indicates that the C-to-U transitions observed are bona fide APOBEC1-mediated RNA editing events.
