Fig. 5. Localisation of Asp protein (red) during meiosis in wild-type females. In all panels, microtubules are counter-stained green and DNA is blue. (A) Metaphase of meiosis I. Asp is present at the spindle poles. (B) Early telophase of meiosis I. (C) Late telophase of meiosis I. Note the accumulation of Asp in a ring-like structure in the central spindle around the central pole body. (D) Anaphase of meiosis II. Asp remains in the more diffuse structure connecting the two spindles and is in well defined regions at the spindle poles. (E) Asp at the centre of the sperm aster. (F) Asp at the poles of the gonomeric spindle of the first mitosis of the zygote.
