a Structural elements of cRTC (left) and schematic presentation of how cRTC “OFF”-regulates the key microtubule nucleation factor TPX2 (right). b Schematic view of the assembly of cRTC inducer (BCN: bicyclonornyne which reacts with azide via copper-free click reaction; Mal: maleimide which reacts with cysteine). c Live HepG2 cells coexpression of EGFP-CAAX (PM marker) and mScarlet-hTPX2 (hTPX2 marker) with or without (control) adding 10 μM cRTC (1.5 h) reveal the repositioning of hTPX2 to PM. d, e Line profile analysis of the cells shown in c. f Statistical PCC analysis between EGFP-CAAX and mScarlet-hTPX2 for cells in c (n = 20 cells for Control, n = 13 cells for cRTC); one-sided Student’s t-test was used; see Methods for description of box plots. Yellow scale bars: 5 μm.
