Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Schematic of the three-color Repli-Histo labeling for single-nucleosome imaging. Parental H3.2-Halo was labeled with green R110-direct HaloTag ligands. The remaining H3.2-Halo were then blocked with 7BRO, followed by pulse labeling with the two HaloTag ligands (TMR/JF646). b , Representative control (siControl) and RIF1-depleted (siRIF1) HeLa cells with the three-color Repli-Histo labeling. 1 st row: parental H3.2-Halo labeled with R110, identifying the S phase stage or replication timing; 2 nd and 3 rd rows: the Repli-Histo labeling patterns (TMR) and corresponding single-nucleosomes (JF646); 4 th row: the displacement of single nucleosomes as 2D heatmaps. See for the description of the labeling patterns. c , MSD plots (± SD among cells) of single nucleosomes in Class IA (red; siControl, n = 43; siRIF1, n = 27), IB (orange; siControl, n = 35; siRIF1, n = 22), II (green; siControl, n = 40; siRIF1, n = 24), and III (blue; siControl, n = 19; siRIF1, n = 23), and ambiguous patterns (grays; iControl, n = 0; siRIF1, n = 72) in siRIF1 (solid lines) or siControl (dashed lines) cells from 0.05 to 0.5 s. MSD exponents and AC values from are also shown in the brackets. d , MSD values at 0.5 s in each cell from ( c ). Black, siControl; Red, siRIF1. For siControl, ***: P = 5.6 × 10 -10 for Class IA versus IB, P = 1.9 × 10 -8 for Class IB versus II, and P = 1.6 × 10 -8 for Class II versus III by the two-sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. For siRIF1, **: P = 0.0012 for Class IA versus IB, P = 0.0035 for Class II versus III, and ***: P = 5.7 × 10 -10 for ambiguous patterns versus Class II. **: P = 3.2 × 10 -9 for Class IB versus II. N.S.: P = 0.70 for Class IB versus ambiguous patterns, by the two-sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. e , Correlation between MSD values at t = 0.5 s and R110 signals (i.e., DNA content at the time of Repli-Histo labeling). The bold “X” and bars show each stage’s mean and SD (also shown in the bottom plots). Spearman’s correlation coefficients among all cells are ρ = -0.67 for siControl and ρ = -0.57 for siRIF1.
