Fig. 6. Delay in CAR formation is dependent upon Cdc16, Mad2 and Zfs1. A and B:
synchronisation by transient arrest in S phase using 12 mM hydroxyurea and
release at 25°C (A) or 35.5°C (B). (C-E): (C-E) synchronisation by
cdc25-22 temperature arrest and release. (A) Synchronised myo2-gc
cdc16-116 cells were released in the presence (open symbols) or absence
(filled symbols) of 100 µg/ml TBZ. The microtubule-depolymerisation-induced
delay in the appearance of Myo2 rings (green circles) was also seen using this
synchronisation technique (compare open green circles in A with the closed
ones), as expected, no binucleate cells (blue diamonds) were observed in TBZ.
(B) In the absence of functional Cdc16 there was no delay in the appearance of
single septa [compare filled (DMSO) and open (TBZ) black squares] or multiple
septa [filled (DMSO) and open (TBZ) red squares]. Synchronised zfs1
myo2-gc cdc25-22 (D) or mad2
myo2-gc cdc25-22 (E) cells
were released into DMSO (filled symbols), 100 µg/ml TBZ (open symbols) or
25 µg/ml MBC (yellow filled symbols). In contrast to control myo2-gc
cdc25-22 cells (C), no delay was seen.
