Expression Pattern :

Primary Identifier  Expr3451 Subcellular Localization  During anaphase, the centrosomal spheres of gamma-tubulin became hollow, and 2 dots of gamma-tubulin appeared within each ring. After anaphase, the gamma-tubulin rings disappeared, and the dots grew into the next pair of centrosomes. Thus, the dots represent the recruitment of gamma-tubulin by separated and perhaps duplicated centrioles within the expanding and disassembling mother centrosome. The behavior of the posterior centrosome differed from that of the anterior centrosome during anaphase B spindle elongation. As described previously, unlike the anterior pole, which remained relatively stationary, the posterior pole swung from side to side and moved toward the posterior end of the embryo. After the posterior migration had ceased, the gamma-tubulin ring at the posterior pole flattened laterally, decreased in brightness, and appeared to fragment, as if subject to forces directed toward the lateral cortex. In contrast, the gamma-tubulin ring at the anterior pole persisted longer and showed little flattening or fragmentation as it decreased in brightness. In subsequent rounds of mitosis, this pattern of centrosomal gamma-tubulin dynamics was repeated on a progressively smaller scale.
