Fig. 5. Overexpression of KIFC5A inhibits bipolar spindle formation and causes stalling of mitotic progression in prometaphase. (A) Two typical examples of NIH 3T3 cells overexpressing YFP-KIFC5A (top panel) or myc-KIFC5A (bottom panel). Cells were labelled for {alpha}-tubulin (red) or myc (green). DNA was visualised with Hoechst (blue), YFP-KIFC5A is green. Bars, 5 µm. (B) Another example of the `stalled phenotype' in prometaphase with the use of anti-pericentrin (top panel). In the overlay, YFP-KIFC5A is green, {alpha}-tubulin staining is red and pericentrin is blue. A normal cell in prometaphase is shown for comparison (bottom panel). Bars, 5 µm.
