Fig. 7: The effects of overexpression of DmBR-C-z3 on mRNA levels of two Drosophila arginine kinase genes, DmAK1 and DmAK2, in S2 cells.

Total RNA was isolated from cells. The relative mRNA levels of DmAK1 and DmAK2 were determined by qPCR using DmRp49 as an internal reference. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3 biologically independent replicates). Asterisk indicates differences statistically significant at *P < 0.05 (Student’s t-test).
