a Representative microphotographs of in situ hybridization (ISH) analysis of PLANE expression. DapB: negative control; PPIB: positive control. Scale bar, 10 µm. Data are representatives of 3 independent experiments. b qPCR analysis showing PLANE subcellular localization. Cyt: cytoplasm; Nuc: nucleus. β-actin: Cyt marker; U6: Nuc marker. Data are mean ± s.d.; n = 3 independent experiments, two-tailed Student’s t-test. c In vitro-synthesized PLANE bound to the PLANE-binding region (PLANE-BR) of in vitro-transcribed intron 45 of NCOR2 pre-mRNA as shown in domain-specific chromatin isolation by RNA purification (dChIRP) assays. This binding was abolished when the PLANE-BR at NCOR2 pre-mRNA or the duplex-forming oligonucleotides (DFO) within PLANE were deleted (intron 45-∆PLANE-BR and PLANE-∆DFO, respectively). Data are representatives of three independent experiments. d In vitro-transcribed PLANE did not precipitate in vitro-transcribed intron 47 of the NCOR2 pre-mRNA that does not contain the PLANE-BR as shown in dChIRP assays. Data are representatives of 3 independent experiments. e In vitro-synthesized PLANE precipitated the endogenous NCOR2 pre-mRNA but not NCOR2 genomic DNA as shown in dChIRP assays. Data are representatives of three independent experiments. f Endogenous PLANE co-precipitated a PLANE-BR-containing fragment but not a non-PLANE-BR-containing fragment of intron 47 of NCOR2 pre-mRNA as shown in dChIRP assays. Data are representatives of three independent experiments. S, sense; AS, antisense. g PLANE co-precipitated a fragment of intron 45 of the NCOR2 pre-mRNA in A549 cells treated with proteinase K as shown in dChIRP assays. Data are representatives of three independent experiments. h, i PLANE-∆DFO did not affect the NCOR2-202-generating AS event (h) and 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation (i). Data are representatives or mean ± s.d.; n = 3 independent experiments, two-tailed Student’s t-test. j, k A shRNA-resistant PLANE (PLANE-R) diminished the enhancement of the NCOR2-202-generating AS event caused by induced PLANE knockdown as shown in RT-PCR (j) and the relative quantification using densitometry (k). Data are representatives or mean ± s.d.; n = three independent experiments, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
