Microtubule polymerization around the CAB.

Organism : Ascidian
Species : Phallusia mammillata
Description : Fast confocal imaging of a cortical z-plane containing the CAB in isolated B5.2 blastomeres. Microtubules labelled with Ens::3GFP and the CAB with Kif2::Tom. Note that microtubules polymerize around the CAB and also occasionally in the hole in the center of the CAB. Scale bar = 5µm. Time in sec.
Attributions : Costache Vlad, McDougall Alex
Publication : Kif2 microtubule depolymerase is required for unequal cell division and localizes to a subdomain of cortical endoplasmic reticulum
