Protein phosphorylation has been suggested as an important control mechanism for the events leading toward the initiation and completion of mitosis. Using a monoclonal antibody recognizing a class of phosphoproteins abundant in mitotic cells, we demonstrated the localization of a subset of these phosphoproteins to several discrete mitotic structures. Patchy immunofluorescence was present in the interphase nuclei, but a significant increase in nuclear immunofluorescence was apparent at prophase. Subsequent mitotic stages demonstrated that immunoreactive material was particularly apparent at microtubule organizing centers, namely, centrosomes, kinetochores, and midbodies. Intense centrosomal localization occurred at the prophase-prometaphase transition and persisted until the reformation of the nuclear membrane in early G1. The cytoplasm of mitotic cells also contained immunoreactive material in sharp contrast to interphase cells that exhibited no cytoplasmic fluorescent staining. Much of the diffuse immunofluorescent cytoplasmic material was removed by a brief lysis of the cells with 0.15% Triton X-100 prior to fixation. The localization of the remaining immunoreactive material after detergent lysis to mitotic microtubule organizing centers suggests that they contain phosphoprotein structural components important, perhaps, in the mitotic phase-interphase transition.
