Fig. 1. Immunolocalisation of BubR1 during syncytial divisions. In all images, DNA
is stained blue and BubR1 is stained red. (A-E) BubR1 immunolocalisation
during syncytial nuclear division cycles 3-9 and (F-J) cycles 10-13. (A,F)
BubR1 shows no specific localisation during interphase but (B,G) starts to
accumulate at the kinetochores in prophase, (C,H) reaching a maximum in
prometaphase, (D,I) decreases at metaphase and (E,J) is absent at anaphase.
(K,K''') High-magnification view of a syncytial nucleus in
prophase showing co-localisation of BubR1 and CID (shown in green). (K)
Chromosome morphology at prophase showing initiation of condensation.
(K') BubR1 co-localises with (K'') CID at kinetochores of
prophase chromosomes. (K''') Merged image showing
colocalisation of BubR1 and CID. (L,L''') High-magnification
view of a syncytial nucleus at metaphase showing co-localisation of BubR1 over
spindle microtubules (green). (L) Chromosome morphology at metaphase showing
alignment along the metaphase plate. (L') At metaphase, BubR1 is
sometimes detected along spindle microtubules (see also inset in D).
(L'') Spindle microtubules were detected with anti-
-tubulin
antibodies. (L''') Merged image showing co-localisation of
BubR1 along spindle microtubules. Scale bar: 10 µm.
