Figure 3.—

Rad51 foci are present in meiotic cells devoid of LinEs. Examples of meiotic nuclei from diploid rec10⁺ (LinEs and Rad51 foci), rec10-175 (no LinEs and no Rad51 foci), and rec10-155 (no LinEs and Rad51 present) are shown. rec10-155 mutants do not form any LinEs detectable by electron microscopic analysis of silver-stained nuclear spreads (Molnar et al. 2003), so the loss of staining is not likely to be due to epitope loss. Blue is DAPI, Red is Rec10 (LinEs), and green is Rad51. Bar, 5 μm.
