Abstract
γ - tubulin is an essential, invariant constitutive centrosomal protein, which plays key roles in microtubule patterning and defining the microtubule intrinsic polarity. Although γ-tubulin was also present in cattle oocytes and zygotes, no details have been provided on its recruitment and localization to date. In this study, we determined γ-tubulin distribution chronologically in conjunction with microtubule dynamics during fertilization and parthenogenesis, with a view to understanding the molecular basis of zygotic centrosome reconstitution in cattle.
