Using a computerized fluorescence microscope system to observe fluorescently stained cellular structures in vivo, we have examined the dynamics of chromosomes and microtubules during the process of meiosis in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Fission yeast meiotic prophase is characterized by a distinctive type of nuclear movement that is led by telomeres clustered at the spindle-pole body (the centrosome-equivalent structure in fungi): the nucleus oscillates back and forth along the cell axis, moving continuously between the two ends of the cell for some hours prior to the meiotic divisions. To obtain a dynamic view of this oscillatory nuclear movement in meiotic prophase, we visualized microtubules and chromosomes in living cells using jellyfish green fluorescent protein fused with alpha-tubulin and a DNA-specific fluorescent dye, Hoechst 33342, respectively. Continuous observation of chromosomes and microtubules in these cells demonstrated that the oscillatory nuclear movement is mediated by dynamic reorganization of astral microtubules originating from the spindle-pole body. During each half-oscillatory period, the microtubules extending rearward from the leading edge of the nucleus elongate to drive the nucleus to one end of the cell. When the nucleus reversed direction, its motion during the second half of the oscillation was not driven by the same microtubules that drove its motion during the first half, but rather by newly assembled microtubules. Reversible inhibition of nuclear movement by an inhibitor of microtubule polymerization, thiabendazole, confirmed the involvement of astral microtubules in oscillatory nuclear movement. The speed of the movement fluctuated within a range 0 to 15 micron/minute, with an average of about 5 microm/minute. We propose a model in which the oscillatory nuclear movement is mediated by dynamic instability and selective stabilization of astral microtubules.
