MPcfap53−/− embryos arrest and display aberrant nuclear morphology. (A,B) Time series of maternal and paternal (MP)cfap53−/− embryos from 45 mpf up to 4 hpf. Although a small fraction of the MPcfap53−/− embryos displayed normal development (A, n=15), most embryos arrested at the one-cell stage (B, n=52). (C,D) Confocal images of wild-type (C) and MPcfap53−/− (D) embryos at indicated stages of development stained with DAPI to visualize nuclei, indicating that aberrant nuclear morphology starts to form at 30 mpf. Results were obtained from two different cfap53−/− pairs. Asterisks indicate polar bodies. Gender symbols indicate a male or female pro-nucleus. Scale bars: 100 μm in A,B; 20 μm in C,D.
