Fig. 3. Post-metaphase figures observed after 23C-
-tubulin depletion. Chromosomes appear in blue, microtubules in red, and the staining in green corresponds to
-tubulin. (A,A') Control cytokinesis showing
-tubulin and
-tubulin merged staining (A) and
-tubulin staining only, showing the presence of 23C
-tubulin at the two poles and in the mid-body (A'). (B-E) Anaphase (B), telophase (C) and cytokinesis (D,E) after
-tubulin depletion. None of these figures exhibited
-tubulin signals (absence of green staining). Cytokinesis was generally symmetrical (D) and exceptionally asymmetrical (E). Scale bar, 5 µm.
