Fig. 8. Effect of overexpression of MIR1 on mitotic spindles. (A) Mitotic BHK cells expressing GFP-MIR1 (middle panel) or GFP-MIR1A (bottom panel) were analyzed for GFP fluorescence (green) and stained for -tubulin with mAb GTU-88 (red) and for DNA with Hoechst dye 33258 (blue). Images were acquired with a Deltavision system and processed as in Fig. 2C. (B) Mitotic BHK cells expressing GFP-MIR1 were analyzed for GFP fluorescence and for stable microtubules using an antibody 6-11B-1 against acetylated tubulin. (C) As in B, but with cells expressing GFP-MIR1A. The arrows point to a transfected cell, the arrowhead to an untransfected cell.
