Primary Identifier | Expr3661 | Subcellular Localization | Small dots of fluorescence were observed moving away from centrosomes. In addition to the moving fluorescent dots, a strong fluorescence signal was observed throughout the centrosomal region, likely indicating a large population of growing microtubules very near the centrosome. To test whether EBP-2 localization to centrosomes was microtubule dependent, EBP-2::GFP fluorescence was examined after RNAi of alpha- and beta-tubulin. Two classes of embryos were observed : those that contained a very low albeit detectable EBP-2::GFP signal at the centrosome (5/12), and those that had no obvious foci of EBP-2::GFP fluorescence (7/12). In all cases where EBP-2 was detected, short EBP-2::GFP tracks quickly disappeared less than one micron from the centrosome. Therefore, the EBP-2::GFP signal is dependent on growing microtubules. |
