FRAP analyses of CENP-C-GFP and mScarlet-CENP-T during mitosis. (A) FRAP analysis of each cell line during mitosis evaluated using the indicated fluorescent proteins. DNA was stained with NucSpot™ Live 650 Nuclear Stain. Left panels are images before bleaching (pre-bleach). The boxed area was bleached, and signal recovery is shown at the indicated time points. The black scale bar indicates 10 μm. The white scale bar indicates 2.5 μm for magnified panels. (B) Solid lines display the means of quantitative FRAP measurements for CENP-C-GFP from at least 10 mitotic cells from each indicated cell line. The colored area between the two dashed lines indicates the standard error for each time point. (C) FRAP results for mScarlet-CENP-T in 10 mitotic cells from each indicated cell line. (D) Imax is the maximum recovery rate, t1/2 is the half-time of recovery, and koff is the recovery constant. These values were calculated through curve fitting. The residence time at the kinetochores was calculated as the inverse of the koff value. The koff and residence time at kinetochores for CENP-CWT-GFP, CENP-CΔ648-676-GFP, and CENP-CT651A-GFP during mitosis and interphase are shown
