Subcellular_localizationlocated at centrosomes after pronuclear meeting in post-meiotic 1-cell embryos. PLK-1 remains associated with centrosomes as the embryo enters prophase of mitosis and this localization persists through late anaphase. PLK-1 staining in mature, unfertilized oocytes is diffuse and cytoplasmic.
TypeAntibodyPLK-1 antibody was generated against a peptide corresponding to the amino-terminal 20 amino acids of the PLK-1 by conjugation to keyhole limpet hemocyanin and injection into rabbit.
PatternFirst detected at centrosomes after pronuclear meeting in post-meiotic 1-cell embryos. PLK-1 remains associated with centrosomes as the embryo enters prophase of mitosis and this localization persists through late anaphase. PLK-1 also detected in chromosome-specific localization of PLK-1 diminishes during anaphase and is not observed during telophase. PLK-1 detected at the region of spindle overlap during telophase (coincident with alpha-tubulin staining). At the time this appears as two discrete points suggesting it was part of a ring-like structure. PLK-1 is detected in newly fertilized embryos. PLK-1 staining in mature, unfertilized oocytes is diffuse and cytoplasmic. In new fertilized embryos, PLK-1 staining is coincident with six maternal bivalent pre-metaphase chromosome before their segregation. As fertilized embryos progressed through anaphase of meiosis, PLK-1 was again coincident with the dividing chromatin but has also redistributed and was found in the areas between the dividing chromatin.
RemarkThis information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
