Cfap53 is important for the localization of centrosomal components and centriolar satellites at the MTOC. (A-C, n=9) Maximal projections of confocal stacks from fixed Tg(ubi:GFP-cfap53) transgenic embryos immunolabeled for centrin at 2?hpf shows strong colocalization of GFP-Cfap53 with centrin during metaphase. (D-L) Maximal projections of confocal stacks from fixed wild-type or MPcfap53?/? embryos at 45 mpf immunolabeled for centrosomal components. ?-tubulin (D; n=8; G, n=15; J, n=3), PCM1 (E, n=7; H, n=15; K, n=3) and centrin (F, n=5; I, n=8; L, n=14) in wild-type embryos (D-F), MPcfap53?/? non-developing embryos (G-I) or MPcfap53?/? developing embryos (J-L) at 45?mpf fixed. Scale bars: 20??m. Schematics of embryonic development are adapted, with permission, from Kimmel et al. (1995).
