Figure EV4. The FDF motif is required for CENP-U to maintain metaphase sister-chromatid cohesion.

(A) Asynchronous HeLa cells stably expressing siRNA-resistant CENP-U-GFP (WT or the ADA mutant) were subjected to immunoblotting with antibodies for GFP, CENP-U, and α-Tubulin. (B) The indicated stable cell lines were immunostained with antibodies for GFP, CENP-C, and DAPI. Example images are shown. (C, D) HeLa cells stably expressing the indicated proteins were transfected with control siRNA or CENP-U siRNA. At 48 h post-transfection, cells were treated with MG132 for 8 h, then mitotic chromosome spreads were stained with the CENP-C antibody and DAPI. The percentage of cells in which the majority of sister chromatids was separated or unseparated was determined in 300 cells for each condition from three independent experiments, with statistics being analyzed for cells with separated chromatids using unpaired Student’s t-test. Means and SDs are shown (C). Example images are shown (D). Data information: Scale bars, 10 µm (B, D).
