DIC time-lapse images of wild-type, <i>zyg-1(or278 </i>ts<i>)</i>, <i>zyg-1(or297 </i>ts<i>)</i>, <i>zyg-1(or409 </i>ts<i>)</i>, and <i>zyg-1(or1018 </i>ts<i>)</i> embryos. In the <i>zyg-1</i> mutants the two cell stage blastomeres assembled monopolar spindles, cytokinesis failed, and there were multiple nuclei present at the four cell equivilent stage. The <i>zyg-1(or278 </i>ts<i>)</i>, <i>zyg-1(or409 </i>ts<i>)</i>, and <i>zyg-1(or1018 </i>ts<i>)</i> embryos were obtained from hermaphrodites shifted to the restrictive temperature for 5–6 hours. The <i>zyg-1(or297 </i>ts<i>)</i> embryo was obtained from a hermaphrodite shifted to the restrictive temperature for 30 minutes prior to imaging. Black arrows indicate normal bipolar spindles in the wild-type embryo and white arrowheads indicate multiple nuclei present at the four cell equivalent stage. Times in min:sec are given relative to AB nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD). Scale bar, 10 µm. B. Amino acid alterations in the mutants. Asterisks indicate the changed residues. Homologous proteins are aligned below the <i>C. elegans</i> protein. C. Defect maps for the <i>zyg-1</i> mutants.Individual embryos observed during time-lapse recordings: embryos are listed on the left and phenotypes are listed on the top: 1; normal two cell embryo, 2; bipolar spindles at two cell stage, 3; one nucleus per cell at four cell stage. In the long upshifts, hermaphrodites were transferred to the restrictive temperature for 5–8 hours. In the short upshifts, embryos were harvested from hermaphrodites grown at the restrictive temperature for 30 minutes.</p> 2013-02-20 20:14:01 genetics and genomics developmental biology
