Fig. 6

a Knockdown of TSSC4 by RNAi increased the accumulation of U5-specific proteins in Cajal bodies. PRPF19 was visualized by indirect immunofluorescence, the other proteins were tagged with GFP and stably (PRPF8-GFP and SNRNP200-GFP) or transiently (CD2BP2-GFP and EFTUD2-GFP) expressed in HeLa cells (turquoise). Cajal bodies were visualized by immunodetection of coilin (red). Cajal bodies marked by arrows are enlarged three times in insets. Scale bars represent 10 μm. b Quantification of Cajal body accumulation. Fluorescence signal in Cajal bodies was normalized to signal in the nucleoplasm and shown in a box plot (center line—median; box limits—1st and 3rd quartiles; whiskers—5th and 95th percentile). Two lowest and two highest values are depicted as separate dots in each box plot. The number of analyzed cells is shown at the bottom of the diagram. Statistical significance was determined by the two-tailed T test, and all P values lower than 0.0001 are indicated by ****. Original values for box plots are provided in the Source Data file. a, b Two biologically independent experiments were performed for each condition and combined.
