Figure Legend

Condensin is essential for mitotic chromosome organization and segregation.  In the wild-type 2-cell C. elegans embryo pictured (left), an antibody against the centromere-specific histone HCP-6 localizes to the outer face of condensed chromosomes (HCP-6 green, DNA blue, tubulin red).  When condensin is depleted by RNAi (right), chromosomes fail to condense and segregate properly, and the diffuse chromosomal localization of HCP-6 reflects their disorganization.
