WBPicture0000008641 | Description | Figure 4. ZEN-4 is required for nor- mal organization of the midzone microtubules. Embryos are coimmunos- tained with ZEN-4N to label ZEN-4 (red), N357 to label tubulin (green), and DAPI (blue) to label DNA. (A) ZEN-4 staining during the first cell division. ZEN-4 localizes in discrete short lines in the spindle midzone. (B) Tubulin and DNA staining in the same embryo shown in panel A. A white arrowhead points to organized microtubules in the spindle midzone. (C) An overlay of panels A and B, showing that ZEN-4 colocalizes with the microtubules between the separating chromosomes. (D) ZEN-4N does not stain the offspring of a germ line mosaic mutant, indicating that the w35 allele encodes a protein null. (E) Tubulin and DNA staining of the same embryo shown in panel D. A white arrowhead points to the midzone, which has greatly reduced numbers of microtubules. (F) ZEN-4N recognizes a major band of 93 kDa in extracts of total worm proteins. This is slightly greater than the predicted size of 87 kDa for ZEN-4A and ZEN-4B. | |
