| Pattern | First detected at centrosomes after pronuclear meeting in post-meiotic 1-cell embryos. PLK-1 remains associated with centrosomes as the embryo enters prophase of mitosis and this localization persists through late anaphase. PLK-1 also detected in chromosome-specific localization of PLK-1 diminishes during anaphase and is not observed during telophase. PLK-1 detected at the region of spindle overlap during telophase (coincident with alpha-tubulin staining). At the time this appears as two discrete points suggesting it was part of a ring-like structure. PLK-1 is detected in newly fertilized embryos. PLK-1 staining in mature, unfertilized oocytes is diffuse and cytoplasmic. In new fertilized embryos, PLK-1 staining is coincident with six maternal bivalent pre-metaphase chromosome before their segregation. As fertilized embryos progressed through anaphase of meiosis, PLK-1 was again coincident with the dividing chromatin but has also redistributed and was found in the areas between the dividing chromatin. | Primary Identifier | Expr711 |
