    Validation of potential novel Aurora B phosphorylation sites and substrate. A, in vitro kinase assay with recombinant His-INCENP/GST-tagged Aurora B (wild-type and kinase-dead), in the presence of ATPγS. Recombinant GST-INCENP 1–80, GST-INCENP 1–80S72A, or histone H3 was added as substrate. B, U2OS cells were transfected with either empty GFP vector (ev) or a plasmid encoding <t>GFP-HMGN2.</t> Mitotic cells were collected by mitotic shake-off, and the remaining adherent cells were used as interphase cell input. The overexpressed proteins were immunoprecipitated from the interphase or mitotic cell lysates with an anti-GFP antibody. The precipitated proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, and Western blots were probed with an antibody specific for phosphorylated Ser-25/Ser-29 in HMGN2 (middle panel) and subsequently reprobed with an anti-GFP antibody (upper panel). Western blots of whole cell extracts were probed with an antibody specific for phosphorylated histone H3 (Ser-10, lower panel). C and D, U2OS cells were released into nocodazole in the presence or absence of the indicated Aurora B inhibitors. HMGN2, Aurora B, and centromeres (CREST) were visualized with specific antibodies. Images of fields of mitotic cells were captured by a Zeiss LSM microscope (C), and the fraction of mitotic cells with no, low, or high levels of HMGN2 on mitotic chromosomes was quantified (D). For each condition >100 cells were counted. Scale bar = 20 micrometer.

    Figure 5. A schematic diagram depicting dual functions of HMGN2 on the transcellular and paracellular route of UPEC invasion in Urothelium. LPS and other bacterial toxins activate HMGN2 expression, which in turn elevates expression of general innate immune response genes, such as IL-8, IL-10, and AMPs gene. Meanwhile increased HMGN2 represses expression of TJs proteins such as ZO-1, Occludin, E-Cadherin and Claudin-1 to disrupt paracellular TJs’ ultrastructure and permeability. Thus, invading bacteria may pass through paracellular routes by up-regulating host HMGN2 expression in urothelium.

    Validation of potential novel Aurora B phosphorylation sites and substrate. A, in vitro kinase assay with recombinant His-INCENP/GST-tagged Aurora B (wild-type and kinase-dead), in the presence of ATPγS. Recombinant GST-INCENP 1–80, GST-INCENP 1–80S72A, or histone H3 was added as substrate. B, U2OS cells were transfected with either empty GFP vector (ev) or a plasmid encoding GFP-HMGN2. Mitotic cells were collected by mitotic shake-off, and the remaining adherent cells were used as interphase cell input. The overexpressed proteins were immunoprecipitated from the interphase or mitotic cell lysates with an anti-GFP antibody. The precipitated proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, and Western blots were probed with an antibody specific for phosphorylated Ser-25/Ser-29 in HMGN2 (middle panel) and subsequently reprobed with an anti-GFP antibody (upper panel). Western blots of whole cell extracts were probed with an antibody specific for phosphorylated histone H3 (Ser-10, lower panel). C and D, U2OS cells were released into nocodazole in the presence or absence of the indicated Aurora B inhibitors. HMGN2, Aurora B, and centromeres (CREST) were visualized with specific antibodies. Images of fields of mitotic cells were captured by a Zeiss LSM microscope (C), and the fraction of mitotic cells with no, low, or high levels of HMGN2 on mitotic chromosomes was quantified (D). For each condition >100 cells were counted. Scale bar = 20 micrometer.
