1. Xenopus A6 mitotic cells stained for XINCENP:

INCENP tubulin DNA
XINCENP at prophase XINCENP at metaphase XINCENP at anaphase
At prophase, XINCENP is at discrete spots along the chromosome arms. At metaphase, XINCENP is concentrated at the centromeres. At anaphase, XINCENP is present at the central spindle and the cell cortex.

2. Xenopus A6 mitotic cells stained for XAuroraB:

Aurora-B tubulin DNA
XAurB at prophase XAurB at prometaphase XAurB at metaphase XAurb at anaphase
At early prophase, XAurB is diffuse throughout the nucleus. At prometaphase, XAurB is at centromeres and also along the central axis of the chromosome arms. At metaphase, XAurB is at centromeres. At telophase, XAurB is at the midbody.
