In this study, wild type indicates one of several integrated transgenic strains. The integrated GFP∷tubulin strain WH204 (Strome et al., 2001 (link)) was used for the studies shown in Figs. 1 and 3 and Tables II and III. The integrated GFP∷tubulin strain AZ244 (Praitis et al., 2001 (link)) was consistently brighter than WH204 and was used for the studies shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7. The integrated GFP∷histone H2b strain AZ212 (Praitis et al., 2001 (link)) was used in Fig. 5. The integrated GFP∷tubulin, mCherry∷histone strain, OD57, was the wild type used for Fig. 4. OD57 was generated by particle bombardment of a pie-1 promoter vector (Praitis et al., 2001 (link)) engineered to express a histone H2b fusion to a version of mCherry (Shaner et al., 2004 (link)) that included four C. elegans introns and C. elegans preferred codons. This modified mCherry DNA was synthesized by Molecular Cloning Laboratories. The mCherry∷histone strain was crossed with the GFP∷tubulin- expressing strain, OD4, to obtain OD57. mei-2(ct98) worms were obtained from P. Mains (University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada) and were crossed with WH204 to obtain mei-2(ct98) worms expressing GFP∷tubulin, with AZ212 to obtain mei-2(ct98) worms expressing GFP∷histone H2b and with OD57 to obtain mei-2(ct98) worms expressing both GFP∷tubulin and mCherry∷histone. The mei-1(null) allele used in this study was the nonsense mutant mei-1(ct46ct101) (Clark-Maguire and Mains, 1994b (link)). Homozygous mei-1(ct46ct101) worms expressing GFP∷tubulin and used for the studies shown in Table III were described previously (Yang et al., 2003 (link)). For data shown in Fig. 6, homozygous mei-1(ct46ct101) worms expressing a higher level of GFP∷tubulin were derived from crosses between HR1069 (unc-13[e10910] daf-8[e1393] mei-1[ct46ct101]/hT2[bli-4{e937} let{h661}] I; hT2/+ III] and AZ244. The GFP∷MEI-1-expressing strain was EU1065 (Pintard et al., 2003 (link)). Western blots with anti–MEI-1 antibody indicated that this transgene is expressed at a much lower level than endogenous MEI-1 (not depicted), indicating that the localization in Fig. 5 is not due to overexpression. OD44, the GFP∷γ tubulin-expressing strain used in Fig. 7, was provided by A. Desai (University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA). mei-2(ct98) strains were maintained at 16°C and shifted to 20°C for 24 h before filming. EU1065 was maintained at 25°C to prevent germline silencing. All other strains were maintained at 20°C.

The N-terminal and C-terminal halves of VENUS (Nagai et al., 2002 (link)) were amplified by PCR and cloned into pCS2+. VENUS fragments were fused to the N-terminus of Human Smad4 with an 11 amino acids linker (TGGGGGGGGGG) or to the N-terminus of Xenopus Smad2 with a 4 amino acids linker (TGSS). For the constructs VC155-Smad3 and VC155-Smad2Δexon3, Smad2 was replaced either by Xenopus Smad3 (the gift of Caroline Hill) or Xenopus Smad2Δexon3 (the gift of Oliver Nentwich). Site-directed mutagenesis to create modified forms of VENUS was performed as described (Sawano and Miyawaki, 2000 (link)). VENUS, mRFP1, ECFP, ECFP-GPI, ECFP-NLS, Histone H2B-ECFP and Emerin-ECFP were all cloned into the expression vector pCS2+ and checked by sequencing. GFP-emerin was the kind gift of Chris Hutchison, YFP-histone H2B the kind gift of Andrea Brand, and the NLS sequence the kind gift of Steve Jackson.
All constructs in pCS2+ were linearised with NotI and transcribed in vitro using SP6 RNA polymerase and the mMESSAGE mMACHINE kit (Ambion). HEK293T cells were cultured in D-MEM medium (high glucose without sodium pyruvate; Gibco 41965-039) with 10% serum and transfected with 0.5-2 μg of each plasmid DNA using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen).

HeLa cells and clonal lines derived from HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-Mis12 (Cheeseman et al., 2004 (link)), YFP–CENP-A (a gift from D. Foltz, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research [LICR], La Jolla, CA), and YFP-histone H2B (a gift from J. Shah, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA; Kops et al., 2004 (link)), or GFP–CENP-H and GFP-hNuf2 (this study) were maintained in DME supplemented with 10% FBS, penicillin/streptomycin, and l-glutamine (Invitrogen) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Cells were plated on 12- or 22-mm glass coverslips coated with poly-l-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich) for immunostaining or 35-mm glass bottom microwell dishes (MatTek) for time-lapse imaging. Predesigned siRNAs targeting hNsl1DC31 (Ambion), hDsn1Q9H410, hNnf1PMF1, hMis12 (Dharmacon), hNuf2 (a gift from J. DeLuca, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC; DeLuca et al., 2005 (link)), or nonspecific control siRNAs (Dharmacon) were transfected according to manufacturer's directions using Oligofectamine and serum-free OptiMEM (Invitrogen). FBS was added to 10% to the transfection reaction after incubation on cells for 5–6 h. Cells were assayed 48 h after transfection for hDsn1, hNnf1, or hNsl1 and 72 h after transfection for hMis12.
Chicken Mis12 target disruption constructs for each gene were generated such that genomic fragments encoding an entire coding region in a single exon were replaced with a histidinol or puromycin resistance cassette under control of the β-actin promoter. Target constructs were transfected with a Gene Pulser II electroporator (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Chicken DT40 cells were cultured and transfected as described previously (Fukagawa et al., 2001 (link), 2004 (link)). All DT40 cells were cultured at 38°C in DME supplemented with 10% FCS, 1% chicken serum, and penicillin/streptomycin. To repress the expression of the tet-responsive transgenes, tet (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the culture medium to a final concentration of 2 μg/ml. Chicken homologues of Dsn1, Nsl1, and Nnf1 were cloned and fused with GFP under control of the cytomegalovirus promoter. These fusion constructs were transfected into chMis12 conditional knockout cells to examine their localization.

The following cell lines were used: MCF10A, MCF10A-CA1d (abbreviated as CA1d), SQ20B, and PC9. MCF10A and CA1d cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% equine serum, 5% fetal bovine serum, 20 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, 10 μg/ml insulin, 500 ng/ml hydrocortisone, and 100 ng/ml cholera toxin. SQ20B cells were cultured in DMEM containing 20% fetal bovine serum and 400 ng/ml hydrocortisone, and PC9 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Primary human tumor-derived cells were obtained from a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and grown continuously in culture in keratinocyte (serum-free) growth medium (Invitrogen). Cell lines were engineered to express the histone H2B/monomeric red fluorescent protein (H2B-mRFP) fusion protein using lentivirus-mediated transduction as previously described 31 (link). Brightly fluorescent single-cell clones were expanded and compared to parental populations using traditional proliferation measurements to ensure they were representative of the initial population. Primary cells were induced to express H2B-mRFP using recombinant baculoviral particles (CellLight® Nucleus, Invitrogen) at 20 particles per cell, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

P. patens chloronema was observed using the MT marker (PpGCP4p::GFP–tubulin) (Kozgunova & Goshima, 2019 (link)), the dual-color marker of MT and nucleus (PpGCP4p::GFP–tubulin and 7113p::histone H2B–mRFP) (Kozgunova & Goshima, 2019 (link)), or Pp-Kinesin-12IIc and MT (Pp-Kinesin-12IIc–Citrine and PpACTp::mCherry–tubulin) (Miki et al, 2014 (link)).
For the PD-180970 experiment, chloronema tissues expressing MT marker cultured on a cellophane-laid BCDAT plate for 6 d were sonicated in a BCD liquid medium containing 10 μM oryzalin, 10 μM PD-180970, or 0.5% DMSO, followed by incubation for 30 min. The tissues were introduced into microfluidic devices and immediately observed (Kozgunova & Goshima, 2019 (link)). The images were acquired with an inverted microscope (Ti, 100 × 1.45 NA lens; Nikon) equipped with a spinning-disk confocal unit (CSU-X1; Yokogawa), 488- and 561-nm laser lines (LDSYS-488/561-50-YHQSP3, Pneum), and an electron-multiplying charge-coupled device camera (ImagEM; Hamamatsu) at 2.5-μm z-intervals. The microscope was controlled using NIS-Elements.
For PP2 experiments, chloronema tissues were cultured in six-well glass-bottom dishes or 35-mm dishes in a BCD agarose medium for 5–7 d (Yamada et al, 2016 (link)). Water containing 10 μM PP2 or 0.5% DMSO was directly applied to the dishes, and the mosses were incubated for 30 min before observation. High-resolution live-cell imaging of the Pp-Kinesin-12IIc/MT marker was performed using the same microscope described above. Long-term imaging of MT/histone markers was performed with a wide-field microscope (TE2000, 10 × 0.45 NA lens; Nikon) equipped with a CMOS camera (ZYLA-4.2P-USB3; Andor) and a Nikon Intensilight Epi-fluorescence illuminator, which was controlled by iQ software.

C57BL/6J and Tcrd−/− mice [9 (link)] were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). Tcrd-H2BeGFP transgenic mice (C57BL/6 background) were a kind gift of Dr. Immo Prinz (Institute of Immunology, Hanover Medical School, Hanover, Germany). Tcrd-H2BeGFP mice are transgenic fluorescent reporter mice enabling the identification of γδ T lymphocytes due to an insertion of an expression cassette encoding an internal ribosomal entry site and a fusion of human histone H2B and green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the 3′ untranslated region of the Tcrd constant (C) gene [10 (link)]. Thus, GFP is expressed in nuclei of γδ T cells and labels only this cell population. All mice were housed at the Łukasiewicz Research Network–PORT Polish Center For Technology Development (Łukasiewicz-PORT) in Wroclaw, Poland, in individually ventilated cages in 12 : 12 h light-dark cycle under specific pathogen-free conditions with water and food available ad libitum. Young female mice at the age of 2 months were subcutaneously injected with 3 mg of medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depogeston, Biowet Puławy, Puławy, Poland) to induce diestrus. The stage of the estrous cycle was determined by vaginal smears. Females were kept at the Łukasiewicz-PORT's animal facility until they reached 18 months of age. All experiments were in accordance with the Local Ethics Committee for Experiments on Animals at Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy in Wroclaw.
