INCENP localization in Drosophila

In all images INCENP is coloured red, tubulin is green and DNA is blue.

Embryos

syncytial metaphase syncytial anaphase cellularized embryo
Syncytial metaphase. INCENP is present at discrete spots on the centromere. Syncytial anaphase. INCENP has moved to the central spindle where it forms a ring of spots. Mitotic domain of cellularized embryo showing cells in metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Cultured Dmel2 cells

Metaphase. INCENP is present at discrete spots on the centromere. Anaphase. INCENP has moved to overlapping microtubules at the central spindle. At telophase, INCENP Is now at the midbody and the stem body matrix.
