Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Volcano plot comparing protein abundance as measured by quantitative MS in cells treated with 50 nM PSMD1 siRNAs and cells treated with 50 nM control siRNAs. PSMD1 and KIF11 are highlighted in red. (B) Representative immunofluorescence images of KIF11-inducible knockout cells and cells treated with 10 μM S -trityl-L-cysteine (STLC). Scale bars: 20 μm. Cells were fixed and stained on different days, and brightness is not scaled identically. (C) Western blot of cells treated with control siRNAs, cells treated with PSMD1 siRNAs, and inducible KIF11 knockout cells. The blot was incubated with a KIF11 antibody. (D) Western blots of a control or GFP-KIF11-expressing cell line treated with 50 nM control (−) or PSMD1 (+) siRNAs. The blots were incubated with KIF11, GFP, and PSMD1 antibodies. Separate blots were used for each antibody with the same samples and same amounts loaded. (E) Representative immunofluorescent images of monopolar mitotic cells showing KIF11 levels under different conditions: SAS6-inducible knockout cells (positive control), control cells treated with 10 μM STLC, KIF11-inducible knockout cells, and PSMD1 inducible knockout cells. Scale bar: 5 μm. (F) Quantification of KIF11 fluorescence intensity in monopolar mitotic cells under different conditions. Fluorescence intensity values were normalized to levels in PSMD1 knockout cells. Bars represent mean ± standard deviation. p values were calculated with two-tailed Welch’s t tests comparing each condition to PSMD1 knockout: p = 0.0275 for STLC, p = 0.0173 for SAS6 knockout, and p < 0.0001 for KIF11 knockout. * p < 0.05, **** p < 0.0001. The experiment was replicated 4 times; 29–92 cells were quantified for each condition for each replicate. (G) Western blots of cells treated with either 50 nM control siRNAs, 50 nM PSMB7 siRNAs, 50 nM PSMD1 siRNAs, or 10 μM MG132. Blots were incubated with a KIF11 antibody, PSMD1 antibody, and PSMB7 antibody. Separate blots were used for each antibody with the same samples and same amounts loaded. (H) Western blot of cells transduced with a lentivirus containing the mCherry-expressing gene knockout plasmids for PSMD1, PSMD8, PSMD11, PSMA6, or PSMC4. Cells were sorted for mCherry. Control cells are untransduced parental cells. The blot was incubated with a KIF11 antibody.
