a, Representative flow cytometry analysis showing DNA
contents of asynchronous mouse ES cells and cells synchronized at S, G2, and
mitotic phase. b, Schematic for extraction of chromatin
fraction from asynchronous mouse ES cells and populations synchronized at S,
G2, and mitosis. c, Representative flow cytometry showing the
distribution of phosphorylated Serine 10 of histone H3 between asynchronous
and synchronized mitotic mouse ES cells. d, Representative flow
cytometry analysis showing DNA contents and purity of synchronized mitotic
mouse ES cells. e, Representative DAPI staining confirming the
high purity of synchronized mitotic cells. Scale bar: 10 μm.
f, Schematic showing the isolation of cytoplasm, soluble
chromatin, and chromatin fractions from mouse ES cells. g,
Immunoprecipitation (IP) of SMARCA4 and SMARCB1 in whole cell lysate from
asynchronous (top) and mitotic (bottom) mouse ES cells. h, IP
of SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 in the cytoplasmic+ soluble chromatin fractions
(top), and chromatin fraction (bottom) isolated from asynchronous and
mitotic mouse ES cells. i, Immunoblots in whole cell lysate of
asynchronous (lane 1) and mitotic (other lanes) mouse ES cells treated with
TBB (CK2 inhibitor) and PD0325901 (ERK1 inhibitor) for 6 hours, as
indicated. Samples were separated either in NuPAGE™ 4 to
12% Bis-Tris gels or in the case of the labeled SMARCA4 sample in
Phos-tag™ (50 μmol/L) precast gels.
j, Immunoblot in whole cell lysate of asynchronous (lane 1)
or mitotic (other lanes) mouse ES cells. Lysates were treated with
increasing doses of lambda protein phosphatase as indicated. Samples were
separated in NuPAGE™ 4 to 12% Bis-Tris gels or in the case
of the labeled SMARCA4 sample in Phos-tag™ (50
μmol/L) precast gels. k, IP of SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 in
the lambda protein phosphatase treated cytoplasmic+ soluble chromatin
fractions (top), and chromatin fraction (bottom) isolated from asynchronous
and mitotic mouse ES cells. Data are representative of two (a,
c, d, e, h,
i, j, k) and three
(g) independent experiments.
