Fig. 5. Deletion of CTF8, CHL1 and CTF4 rescues the nuclear division block of mam1{Delta} cells in anaphase I. Diploid mam1{Delta} (K8923) (A,B) and mam1{Delta} ctf8{Delta} (K10572) (D,E) strains expressing Pds1-Myc18 (securin) and carrying one homolog of chromosome V marked by GFP (heterozygous URA3-GFP) were analysed in a meiotic time course. Cells were fixed and stained for DNA and with antibodies against tubulin and the Myc epitope. Fluorescent-microscopy images of securin-positive metaphase I cells with a bipolar spindle (A,D), a securin-negative `abortive' anaphase I (B) and a securin-negative elongated anaphase I (E) are shown. (A,B,D,E) The upper panels show URA3-GFP (green), tubulin (red) and DNA (blue); the lower panels show securin staining (white) of the cells above them. Schematic drawings illustrating an `abortive' anaphase of mam1{Delta} cells (C) and the rescued anaphase in mam1{Delta} ctf8{Delta} cells (F) showing meiotic cohesin in red and URA3-GFP in green. (G) The percentage of nuclear division and spindle elongation in wild-type (K10003), ctf8{Delta} (K10576), chl1{Delta} (K11652), ctf4{Delta} (K11692), mam1{Delta} (K8923), mam1{Delta} ctf8{Delta} (K10572), mam1{Delta} chl1{Delta} (K11703) and mam1{Delta} ctf4{Delta} (K11828) cells following the destruction of securin in anaphase I. 100 securin-negative cells with a bipolar metaphase I or anaphase I spindle were scored for each strain in this experiment.
