TbAGO1, an Argonaute protein required for RNA interference, is involved in mitosis and chromosome segregation in Trypanosoma brucei

Table 1 Proportion of various aberrant cell types.

	Mitotic cells without spindle¹ (%)	Abnormal spindles² (%)	Unequal distribution of nucleolar marker³ (%)
W.T.	3.2	0.0	8.2
K.O.	21.0	43.9	33.0
K.O. + GFP::TbAGO1	13.6	16.7	18.0

¹2K1N cells were scored for the presence or the absence of a recognisable mitotic spindle after KMX-1 staining, n > 118. ²In cells with recognisable spindle, n > 118 ³Binucleated cells were scored, n > 100
