Subcellular_localization | In newly fertilized wild-type embryos, GFP::histone appeared on oocyte chromosomes as they completed meiosis. Fluorescence appeared on sperm chromatin during formation of the sperm pronucleus, presumably reflecting the replacement of sperm-specific chromatin proteins by maternal histones. Thereafter, during mitosis GFP::histone was clearly associated with condensed chromosomes, and during interphase it was distributed diffusely throughout the nucleus. | ||

Remark | In severe gamma-tubulin(RNAi) embryos, chromosomes condensed during pronuclear migration, as in wild-type embryos. After nuclear envelope breakdown, they clustered together loosely in the center of the embryo. At the time when anaphase should have occurred, chromosomes did not segregate; instead they decondensed and formed multiple micronuclei. In moderate RNAi embryos, chromosomes often congressed together but did not organize into a tight metaphase plate. Anaphase was defective, as evidenced by chromosome bridges, poor segregation, and the consequent formation of multiple micronuclei. | ||
