The zebrafishcurly fry(cfy) mutation leads to a dramatic increase in mitotic index and cell death starting during neural tube formation. The mutant phenotype is cell autonomous and does not result from defects in apical/basal polarity within the neuroepithelium. The increase in mitotic index could be due to increased proliferation or cell cycle arrest in mitosis.cfyembryos were analyzed to examine these two possibilities. By labeling embryos with a pulse of BrdU and anti-phospho-histone 3 and examining the DNA content by fluorescence activated cell sorting, we show thatcfymutants exhibit no increase in proliferation, but a significant increase in the number of cells arrested in mitosis. Furthermore, time-lapse microscopyin vivoconfirmed that a great majority of dividing cells arrest during mitosis and that these mitotically arrested cells die incfyembryos. Finally, immunostaining and confocal microscopy incfymutant embryos revealed that mitotic cells in mutants contain aberrant centrosomes and often exhibit monopolar spindles, thereby leading to mitotic cell cycle arrest. Our results suggest that thecfygene is required for proper centrosome assembly and mitotic spindle formation, therefore critical for normal cell division.
