Reduction of aurB function by a small molecule inhibitor phenocopies the cei mutant phenotype. Wild-type embryos treated beginning at 25 min p.f. with either carrier solvent (A) or ZM2 (B), fixed at 55 min p.f., and labeled to detect microtubules. The furrow corresponding to the second cleavage cycle (2nd, which initiates at 45 min p.f.) is either absent (B′) or truncated (B″). Furrow formation during the first cleavage cycle (1st, which initiates at 30 min p.f.) appears unaffected, likely because of a time lag for the effect of the drug. Embryos were synchronized by in vitro fertilization and are shown as animal views. |
