Figure Lengend Snippet: A – A Pearson correlation heatmap of ChIP-sequencing of H3T3ph, H3K4me1, H3K4me2 and H3K4me3 throughout mitotic entry. B – Numbers of enriched peaks at different timepoints. Bars represent mean ± standard deviation. n=2. C – A UCSC genome browser view showing the normalized (log 2 (IP/Input)) ChIP-seq read densities of H3K4me1 (light blue), H3K4me2 (dark green), H3K4me3 (violet) and H3T3ph (dark blue) on the chromosome 1. Regions shaded in pink (red *) highlight the overlap between H3K4me1 and H3T3ph. D – A magnified view of the red rectangle region from panel C, the TSS of POU2F1 gene. E – Profile plots showing the normalized ChIP-seq signal densities of H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, and H3T3ph around the TSS (TSS ± 20 kb) of protein-coding genes.

Article Snippet: Cells were permeabilized with 0.2% Triton-X100 for 5 min. After washing with PBS, the cells were incubated for 1 hour with 5% BSA in PBS and then with primary antibodies, H3T3ph (16B2; mouse; diluted 1:500 in blocking buffer) and ACA (human; Antibodies Incorporated; 15-234; diluted 1:500 in blocking buffer), in 1% BSA and 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS overnight at 4°C.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A – A Pearson correlation heatmap of ChIP-seq of H3T3ph throughout mitotic entry with H3K9me3 and H3K27me3. B – A violin plot of spike-in calibrated H3T3ph levels at the repetitive centromere of Chr8, as well as its p- and q-arms. C – The same but for Chr5 with the non-repetitive centromere. Statistics for B and C was computed by fitting a linear mixed effect model of log(enrichment). “Timepoint” and “position along the chromosome“ were fit as fixed effects, and “sample” as a random effect. Gaussian distribution of models’ residuals was confirmed. Since T-distribution is symmetric, one-sided p value was calculated for the null hypothesis of no centromeric enrichment of H3T3ph. The hypothesis was rejected in the case of a repetitive centromere on Chr8 (p < 0.0001, ****). The p-values were adjusted with Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. D – A UCSC genome browser view of the magnified centromeric region of Chr8 and Chr5. CENP-H ChIP-seq shows CENP-H (red)-binding peaks (spike-in calibrated) at the centromere of Chr8 (Left) and Chr5 (Right). Other tracks show landscape profile of H3T3ph (dark blue), H3K9me3 (dark pink) and H3K27me3 (dark orange) signal (spike-in calibrated or log 2 (IP/Input)) around the centromeric region.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunofluorescence detection of H3T3Ph in root meristem cells of V. faba after 24 h seedling incubation in water—Control ( A – F ) and in emulsified SEO at the IC 50 concentration ( G – Q ). Nuclei stained with DAPI ( A′ – Q′ ), merged images ( A″ – Q″ ). Panel descriptions are provided in the main text. Scale bar: 10 µm. Mean fluorescence intensity of the H3T3Ph signal in prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase root meristem cells of V. faba after 24 h seedling incubation in water—Control, the emulsifier solution—E, or emulsified SEO at the IC 50 concentration—O, ( R ). The width of each violin plot represents the distribution of values along the y-axis; medians are indicated by dashed lines, and quartiles by dotted lines. Statistical differences were assessed using the Mann–Whitney test at p ≤ 0.05. Asterisk (*) and hash (#) marks denote significant differences compared to the control and the emulsifier, respectively.

Article Snippet: Slides were briefly rinsed and incubated overnight with anti-H3T3Ph antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) dissolved at 1:400 in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.3% Triton-X100 at 4 °C in darkness in a humidified atmosphere.
