Figure Lengend Snippet: A Representative confocal images of AP1γ and RAB11A in immunostained wild‐type (control) and HEATR5B mutant ( HR5B KO) U2OS cells. Dashed box shows region magnified in right‐hand images. Blue arrowheads show diffuse AP1γ signal in the cytoplasm of mutant cells. Yellow arrowheads in insets show examples of AP1γ association with RAB11A. White circles indicate merge of magnified images. B, C Quantification of number (B) and mean total intensity (C) of AP1γ puncta in control (Ctrl) and HR5B KO U2OS cells (a.u., arbitrary units). D Left, immunoblot images showing levels of HR5B and AP1γ in control and HR5B KO U2OS cells (β‐actin, loading control). Right, quantification of AP1γ signal (normalised to β‐actin signal). E Quantification of spread of total AP1γ signal away from the perinuclear region in control and HR5B KO U2OS cells. Both punctate and diffuse signals were quantified. F Quantification of weighted mean MSD of AP1σ1‐RFP puncta in control and HR5B KO U2OS cells. G, H Representative confocal images showing localisation of RAB11A (G and H), AP1γ (G) and DCTN1 (H) in cells that strongly express GFP‐HR5B or a GFP control. Arrowheads show perinuclear clustering of signals in GFP‐HR5B cells. GFP signals were not amplified with antibodies. I Quantification of spread of RAB11A signal away from perinuclear region in GFP or GFP‐HR5B overexpressing U2OS cells. Data information: Scale bars: (A) 10 μm; (A) insets 2.5 μm; (G and H) 5 μm. In (B, C, and E), boxes show interquartile range (25 th –75 th percentile of values) and horizontal line is the median. In (I), circles indicate values from individual cells; columns and error bars represent mean ± SD. Number of cells (in B, C, E and I) or independent experiments (D) analysed is shown above columns. In (F), n = number of particles (from 31 control and 17 KO U2OS cells). Statistical significance was evaluated with an unpaired two‐tailed t ‐test: **** P < 0.0001; *** P < 0.001; ** P < 0.01.
