(16) Colcemid-treated prometaphase cells lysed into polymerization-competent tubulin develop large asters in the region of the centrioles and short tubules at kinetochores, making it unlikely that all microtubule formation in lysed cell preparations is dependent on tubulin addition to short tubule fragments.
(17) They located in euchromatin regions of thymus lymphocytes, with a characteristic aster-like immunofluorescence pattern, and on the border of condensed chromatin areas by deposition of immunogold particles in ultrathin sections of thymus.
(18) We conclude first, that centrioles contain RNA which is required for initiation of aster formation, and second, that the centriole activity or ability to assemble a mitotic aster is separable from the basal body activity, or ability to serve directly as a template for microtubule growth.
