Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Representative images of anaphase RPE1 cells with erroneous chromosome segregation after 5-hour treatment of final concentration of 50 µg/mL α-amanitin. (B) Quantification of erroneous chromosome segregation in anaphase RPE1 cells treated with DMSO, 50 µg/mL α-amanitin, or 10 nM BI-2536 for 5 hours. (C) Quantification of erroneous chromosome segregation in anaphase Plk1 AS cells treated with DMSO, 50 µg/mL α-amanitin, or 200 nM 3MB-PP1 for 5 hours. (D) Representative images of anaphase DLD1 tet-OsTIR1 mClover-mAID-POLR2A (POLR2A-AID) cells with erroneous chromosome segregation after 4-hour 0.5 mM IAA treatment. (E) Quantification of erroneous chromosome segregation in anaphase POLR2A-AID cells pretreated for 23-hour 1 μg/mL doxycycline, and incubate in DMSO, 0.5 mM IAA or 10 nM BI-2536 containing media for 4 hours. (F) Illustration of the design of subcellular localization-specific Plk1 activity rescue system in Plk1 AS lines. (G) Quantification of prometaphase chromosomal 5-EU fluorescent signal in indicated cell lines treated with DMSO, 10 µM 3MB-PP1, or 10 µM 3MB-PP1+200 nM BI-2536 for 2 hours with the presence of STLC and 5-EU. (H) Quantification of erroneous anaphase chromosome segregation in indicated cell lines treated with DMSO, 200 nM 3MB-PP1, or 200 nM 3MB-PP1+200 nM BI-2536 for 4 hours. For microscopic images, scale bar: 5 µm. For 5-EU quantification, each dot represents a cell, and different colors represent different biological replicates. For mitotic error quantification, each dot represents a biological replicate (>50 anaphase cells were analyzed). 3 or more biological replicates were examined.
