Fecha de publicación: | nov-1993 | Editor: | Company of Biologists | Citación: | Journal of Cell Science 106(3): 719-730 (1993) | Resumen: | The distribution of antigens to two antibodies (Bx63 and Rb188) that associate to Drosophila melanogaster centrosomes has been investigated in the nematode Parascaris. By western blot analysis both antibodies identify in Parascaris polypeptides of the same molecular mass as in Drosophila (Rb188 a 185 kDa antigen and Bx63 185 kDa and 66 kDa antigens). By immunocytochemistry we show that the centrosomes of Parascaris contain the 185 kDa antigen recognized by polyclonal Rb188 and monoclonal Bx63 antibodies. In addition, Bx63 reveals cytoplasmic midzone structures, not found in Drosophila, that display a cell cycle-dependent organization in embryos. These structures, which most probably contain the 66 kDa antigen revealed by Bx63, appear at the onset of anaphase as fibrillar-like structures that during anaphase form a ring-like structure encircling the equatorial plane of the blastomere. Before furrowing, the antigen participates in the formation of the midbody and associates with convergent polar microtubules. After blastomere division, Bx63 signal persists as a single body between the daughter cells. The analysis of chilled and nocodazole-treated embryos suggests that the localization of the midzone Bx63 antigen is dependent on non-kinetochore microtubules. Inhibition of furrowing by cytochalasin B shows that the antigen persists after the disassembly of microfilaments. Cytological observations of contractile ring and Bx63 ring assembly indicate that both structures do not simultaneously colocalize at the equatorial zone. The data suggest a spindle-dependent distribution of the Bx63 antigen during cytokinesis. We discuss the participation of this antigen in the organization of the midbody before furrowing, and consider the possible relevance of the midbody with respect to cell to cell communication during early development in nematodes. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.106.3.719 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/252790 | DOI: | 10.1242/jcs.106.3.719 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1242/jcs.106.3.719 issn: 0021-9533 e-issn: 1477-9137 |
