USP35 regulates Aurora B functions in mitosis. a HeLa cells were transfected with USP35i alone or in combination with Flag-USP35 or Flag-USP35C450A. The cells were stained with a phospho-histone H3 (Ser10) antibody (left). The cells expressing green fluorescence (phospho-H3, phospho-histone H3) were counted and normalized to DAPI staining (right). At least 4000 cells per group were examined from three independent experiments. Scale bar = 50 μm. b HeLa cells transfected with USP35i alone or in combination with Flag-USP35 or Flag-USP35C450A were synchronized by a treatment with 100 ng/mL NOC for 18 h. The cell lysates were immunoblotted using the indicated antibodies. Quantification of the phospho-histone H3 (p-H3) levels was done considering the amount of β-actin protein in each case. c HeLa cells transfected with CONi or USP35i were synchronized in prometaphase by treatment with 100 ng/mL NOC for 18 h and then treated with MG132 for 4 h prior to harvesting. A western blot analysis was utilized to detect Aurora B and phospho-histone H3 (Ser10) protein levels. The data in part a represent the mean ± SD (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, t-test)
