doi: 10.1101/2024.11.12.623205
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Experimental work-flow to yield non-detectable CEP152 signals at centrosomes in HeLa CEP152-AID cells. (B) HeLa CEP152-AID cells were transfected with control or CEP152 siRNAs for 48 h and treated with - / + IAA for 2 h. Samples were fixed as in A . and stained. Scale bar: 1 μm. p-S305 PLK4 and PLK4 signals were quantified in cells with no detectable CEP152 and normalized to the control after background signal subtraction. Graphs show individual values n = 2, ns > 0.05, * = 0.05, ** < 0.01. (C) Schematic representation of GFP tagged full length (FL) CEP152, CEP152 1-512aa (N-term), 508-1710aa (C-term) and CEP152 D43/44A constructs and their ability to bind PLK4 and to localize at the centrosome. (D) HeLa WT cells were transfected with pEGFP-CEP152 constructs or pEGFP for 36 h. Cells were fixed after pre-extraction for immunofluorescence analysis. Scale bar: 1 μm. n = 3, ns > 0.05, * = 0.05, *** < 0.001. (E) HEK293T cells were co-transfected with Flag-PLK4 and different pEGFP-CEP152 constructs shown in C for 36 h and then harvested for co-immunoprecipitation and Western Blot analysis. Graph shows the ratio of p-S305 PLK4 / Flag-PLK4 with ± SD. n = 3, * = 0.05, ** < 0.01. (F) GST-CEP152 (1-512aa) or GST alone was incubated with Zz-PLK4-His in the presence and the absence of 0.5 mM ATP for in vitro kinase assay and then analyzed by Western blotting.
