Disrupting the H3pT3–Survivin interaction increases H2ApT120 and Sgo1 at metaphase centromeres. (A–E) HeLa cells stably expressing the indicated Survivin proteins were released from STB for 12 h and then immunostained. Example images are shown (A). For each experiment, the immunofluorescence intensity ratios of H2ApT120/ACA (B) and Sgo1/ACA (D) were determined from 200 chromosomal regions containing >600 centromeres in 20 cells. The relative intensities of H2ApT120 (C) and Sgo1 (E), representing the normalized ratios of H2ApT120/ACA and Sgo1/ACA, were determined in 60 cells from three independent experiments (20 cells per experiment). (F–J) DMSO or 5-ITu was added to HeLa cells 9 h after release from STB. Cells were then fixed 12 h after release for immunostaining. Example images are shown (F). For each experiment, the immunofluorescence intensity ratios of H2ApT120/ACA (G) and Sgo1/ACA (I) were determined from 200 chromosomal regions containing >600 centromeres in 20 cells. The relative intensities of H2ApT120 (H) and Sgo1 (J), representing the normalized ratios of H2ApT120/ACA and Sgo1/ACA, were determined in 60 cells from three independent experiments (20 cells per experiment). Means and SDs are shown (B–E and G–J; unpaired t test). N.S., not significant. Scale bars, 10 µm.
