Extended Data Fig. 3. FRI associates with FRL1, TAF15b and U2B′′ in nuclear condensates in vivo.

Extended Data Fig. 3

a, Confocal microscopic images of tobacco leaf nuclei with expression of FRI–mScarlet I or FRL1–mScarlet I alone or co-expression of both. Data are representative of 5 independent experiments. b, c, Quantification of FRI–mScarlet I nuclear condensate area (b) and number per nucleus (c) in tobacco leaf with or without FRL1–mScarlet I co-expressed. An open circle indicates the median of the data and a vertical bar indicates the 95% confidence interval (CI) determined by bootstrapping. Numbers of nuclear condensates measured in (b) were 204 (FRI), 0 (FRL1) and 320 (FRI+FRL1). Numbers of nuclei analysed in (c) were 15 (FRI), 16 (FRL1) and 20 (FRI+FRL1). Comparison of mean by one-way ANOVA with adjustment (Sidak’s multiple comparisons test). ns, no significance. d, Confocal microscopic images of FRI–GFP nuclear condensates in the indicated mutants. e, f, Quantification of FRI–GFP nuclear condensate area (e) and number per nucleus (f) in the indicated genotypes. An open circle indicates the median of the data and a vertical bar indicates the 95% confidence interval (CI) determined by bootstrapping. Numbers of nuclear condensates measured in (e) were (from left to right) 391, 904, 159, 437, 324, 735, 354 and 448. Numbers of nuclei analysed in (f) were (from left to right) 181, 144, 96, 105, 132, 177, 142 and 126. At least 10 plants were analysed. Comparison of mean by one-way ANOVA with adjustment (Sidak’s multiple comparisons test). ns, no significance. g, Confocal microscopic images of tobacco leaf nuclei expressing FRI–mScarlet I and TAF15b–GFP. TAF15b–GFP was driven either by its endogenous protomer or overexpressed with CSV promoter. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments. h, Immunostaining images showing relative subnuclear localization of FRI–GFP (green) to U2B′′ (red) in root cells in NV and 2WV conditions. DNA was labelled with DAPI (blue). Non-tagged FRI was used a negative control. i, j, Quantification of the total number of U2B′′ condensates per nucleus (i) and those colocalized with FRI–GFP condensates (j) in NV and 2WV conditions. An open circle indicates the median of the data and a vertical bar indicates the 95% confidence interval (CI) determined by bootstrapping. n=166 nuclei (NV) and 130 nuclei (2WV). Comparison was via two-tailed t test with Welch’s correction. ns, no significance. In all the images, scale bars, 5 μm
