We have analyzed the functional significance of RBMX by electron microscopy (EM) in combination with RNA interference (RNAi). We revealed that depletion of RBMX results in the accumulation of mitotic cells. EM investigation further showed that RBMX depletion leads to an increase in the fuzzy ball structure that is reminiscent of the prekinetochore. It is most probably due to the result of disruption at early stages of kinetochore maturation, so that kinetochore differentiation into the authentic trilaminar morphology is disturbed. The present EM data illuminated the importance of RBMX in kinetochore formation for subsequent stable microtubules interaction.","PeriodicalId":10221,"journal":{"name":"Chromosome science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79564794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, an improved chromosome image analyzing system (CHIAS IV) has been released for measurement of the condensation patterns (CPs) in fluorescence images. CHIAS IV is based on the multiplatform public-domain image-processing software, ImageJ, which was developed by the National Institutes of Health, US. In this study, we used CHIAS IV to perform image analysis of the fluorescence patterns of somatic prometaphase chromosomes of the leguminous plant, red clover (Trifolium pratense L., 2n = 2x = 14). We produced a quantitative chromosome map of red clover by combining the qualitative-analysis results obtained using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping with the results of the CHIAS IV imageanalysis method, thereby clearly demonstrating the effectiveness and utility of this software as an analytical tool for genetic and genomic studies.","PeriodicalId":10221,"journal":{"name":"Chromosome science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86800531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
