Recruitment of HJURP to centromeres requires the Mis18 complex. (A and B) Cellular extracts from siRNA-treated and control cell lines were analyzed by Western blotting using anti-GFP (A) or anti-HJURP antibodies (B). Each lane contains lysate from 105 cells. Dilution series were generated from mock-treated HeLa GFP-Mis18α (A) or parental HeLa (B) cells. (C) Stable GFP-Mis18α cells lines were treated with siRNA against Mis18α, Mis18BP1hsKNL2, HJURP, or GAPDH (control). Representative images of siRNA-treated GFP-Mis18α cells were selected in which a midbody was clearly present (differential interference contrast [DIC], arrows) to show the cell was in early G1. DAPI staining was overlaid onto the differential interference contrast image. Cells were stained with anti–CENP-T. (D) Mean percentage of GFP-Mis18α centromere-positive nuclei from a population of ≥57 cells in each siRNA treatment from two experiments. (E) Similar image acquisition as in C. Here, stable HeLa GFP-HJURP cells were treated with the same siRNAs. (F) Mean percentage of GFP-HJURP centromere-positive nuclei from a population of ≥135 cells in each siRNA treatment from two experiments. Error bars show standard deviations. Insets show magnified views of boxed regions. Bars, 5 µm.
