Cells were trypsinized (0.25% trypsin) 24 h after kappa-selenocarrageenan was applied to the sample. Single-cell suspensions (2×106 cells) were extracted and washed using phosphate-buffered saline. Samples were fixed using 70% alcohol at −20°C overnight. Lysis buffer (0.2 M Na2HPO4, 0.1 M citric acid, 0.1% Triton X-100 pH 7.8) was added to the samples and was incubated at room temperature for 45 min. Next, the cells were digested with 50 μg/ml RNase for 10 min. Cells were stained with PI (50 μg/ml) for 30 min (PI, Sigma, St. Louis, MO). The samples were analyzed using a flow cytometer (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ). The cells with DNA content less than that of cells at the G1 phase were identified as apoptotic cells. Also, flow cytometry analysis was repeated at least 3 times.

The network of the key regulators of the fission yeast cell cycle is constructed by compiling information from an extensive literature study [9] (link), [25] (link)–[34] . For building a model, all types of interactions are divided into two classes—inhibition or activation. The summarized interactions are shown in Table 1, which correspond to [9] (link) except for the cases explained below.
Since the mechanism of activation of the negative Cdc2/Cdc13 regulators is unknown, the authors of [9] (link) assumed a mechanism similar to budding yeast. In [9] (link) Slp1/APC degrades a hypothetical inhibitor of PP, which helps PP to become active. Recently, Clp1p has been proposed as a possible candidate for PP [37] (link). Following [25] (link), the helper molecules such as Start Kinases (SK) are inhibited, otherwise they prevent the final transition to the G1 stationary state. This is why in a Boolean model of the cell cycle helper molecules-Start Kinase (SK), Slp1, and PP-have self-inhibiting links. We further represent Wee1/Mik1 by one node, since they have similar function.
One also needs to distinguish activation levels of Cdc2/Cdc13. During the cell cycle, this complex has three different levels—low, intermediate, or high. It is also known that a high-level corresponds to dephosphorylation of the residue Tyr-15 of Cdc2. Therefore, Cdc2/Cdc13 is represented by two nodes: Cdc2/Cdc13 and Cdc2/Cdc13*, where the latter indicates the high activity state of Cdc2/Cdc13. During the G1 phase, when activity of Cdc2/Cdc13 is low, this corresponds to an inactive Cdc2/Cdc13 node. Intermediate levels of excitation correspond to activation of the node Cdc2/Cdc13, whereas high activity in the M phase is represented by the Cdc2/Cdc13* node being active in addition.
We focus on a case where checkpoints are disregarded except the checkpoint of the cell size. Also the change in the rate of DNA replication is neglected in the model. In comparison to [9] (link) we further neglect the phosphatase group Pyp3, which works in the absence of Cdc25, but does its job less effectively.
The networks and dynamical trajectories were drawn with Pajek [38] .

E14 ESCs were cultured in serum and LIF or 2i media as described previously16 (link). Single cells were collected by FACS following ToPro-3 and Hoechst 33342 staining to select for live cells with low DNA content (i.e. G0 or G1 phase cells). Cells were collected in RLT plus lysis buffer (Qiagen) containing 1 U/μl SUPERase-In (Ambion) and processed using the G&T-seq protocol7 (link), but following physical separation of mRNA and genomic DNA from single cells, the DNA was eluted into 10 μl of H2O.
Single-cell bisulfite libraries were then prepared as previously described3 (link) but with the following modifications. Conversion was carried out using EZ Methylation Direct bisulfite reagent (Zymo) on purified DNA in the presence of AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter) following G&T-seq. Purification and desulphonation of converted DNA was performed with magnetic beads (Zymo) on a Bravo Workstation (Agilent), eluting into the mastermix for the first strand synthesis. Primers for first and second strand synthesis contained a 3′-random hexamer and biotin capture of first strand products was omitted, however an extra 0.8× AMPure XP purification was performed between second strand synthesis and PCR. Each pre-PCR AMPure XP purification was carried out using a Bravo Workstation. To avoid batch effects all libraries were prepared in parallel in a 96 well plate. Purified scBS-seq libraries were sequenced in pools of 16-20 per lane of an Illumina HiSeq2000 using 125-bp paired-end reads.
RNA sequencing libraries were prepared from the single-cell cDNA libraries using the Nextera XT kit (Illumina) as per the manufacturer's instructions but using one-fifth volumes. Multiplexed library pools were sequenced on one lane of an Illumina HiSeq2000 generating 125-bp paired-end reads.

Gene deletions and epitope tagging of genes at their endogenous loci were performed using PCR-based methods (Janke et al., 2004 (link)). td-stu1 cells were constructed and grown as described previously (Kanemaki et al., 2003 (link)). The strains and plasmids used in this study are listed in Table S1 (available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200702145/DC1). All yeast strains were derivatives of S228c with the exception of esp1-1 mcd1-1 mad1Δ (referred to as esp1-1 in the text and figures), which was derived from W303 and was compared with the corresponding WT, K699.
Typically, cells were grown in yeast extract peptone glucose medium (YPD) at 23°C and shifted to 30°C or the restrictive temperature for 3 h before observation. For synchronization, cells were incubated with 10 μg/ml of synthetic α factor for 2.5–3 h at 23°C until >95% of cells were in G1 phase. After washing with prewarmed medium to remove α factor, cells progressed synchronously through the cell cycle. Cells were arrested in metaphase by depletion of CDC20 under control of the pMet3 promoter by incubating the cells for 3–4 h in yeast extract peptone raffinose (YPR) medium supplemented with 2 mM methionine and 2 mM cysteine until >95% of cells were with a large bud. The APC was inactivated by incubating arrested pMet3-CDC20 cdc26Δ metaphase cells at 37°C. CDC14 and CDC14C283A were expressed from the pGal1 promoter cloned into yeast integration plasmids. The pGal1 promoter was induced by the addition of 2% galactose to the grow medium. ESP1-GFP was expressed from the native promoter cloned into the yeast integration plasmid pRS406.

RPE-1 cells expressing H2B-GFP and GFP-NLS were treated as described above to induce micronuclei after depletion of p53 by siRNA. After mitotic shake-off, cells were re-plated and allowed to progress into G1 phase for 4 hours. Afterwards cells were trypsinized and single-cell sorted into 384-well μClear plates (Greiner) using FACS. Following single cell sorting, cells were incubated for 2h to allow for cell attachment and spreading. Plates were mounted on a Nikon TE2000-E2 inverted microscope equipped with the Nikon Perfect Focus system. The microscope was enclosed within a temperature- and CO2-controlled environment that maintained an atmosphere of 37°C and 3-5% humidified CO2. Wells containing single cells of interest were identified manually and fluorescence and DIC images were captured every 30 minutes with a 20X 0.5 NA Plan Fluor objective for up to 48 hours or until the majority of cells had progressed through mitosis. All captured images were analyzed using NIS-Elements software.
Wells containing cells of interest, having completed mitosis, were washed with PBS and cells were subsequently trypsinized. After addition of an excess of fresh medium, daughter cells were separated by limited dilution into new wells in a fresh 384-well μClear plate. Successful separation and transfer into new wells was monitored using a fluorescence microscope. In cases where both daughters ended up in the same well, separation by limited dilution was repeated. After separation, the cells were left to attach for up to 4 hours prior to cell lysis.

Example 3

Lung cancer cell line A549 and squamous cell carcinoma cell line H10 expressing inducible SEQ ID NO: 1-HA vector were established as described previously. SEQ ID NO: 1 expression was detected by qPCR (FIG. 7A) and by Western Blot (FIG. 7B). Immunostaining using a custom-made antibody against SEQ ID NO: 1 reveals a predominant cytoplasmic localization with a filamentous pattern. This data demonstrates that the micropeptide can also be expressed and detectable in these cell lines.

To evaluate the effects of SEQ ID NO: 1 on proliferation, A549 and H10 cells transduced with SEQ ID NO: 1-HA vector or control vector were monitored for 14 days. Growth curves show that cells overexpressing micropeptide SEQ ID NO: 1 have a consistently lower growth rate compared to the control (FIG. 8A). This effect in proliferation is also accompanied by an increase in cells arrested in G1 phase (FIG. 8B). Collectively with the data shown before in the pancreatic cell line BxPC-3, there is a strong evidence of the role of the micropeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 in decreasing cell proliferation in several cancer types (pancreas, lung and squamous cell carcinoma).

Dermal fibroblasts from a proband female donor were cultured in 4-well dishes under standard conditions until they reach confluency. Confluent cells were synchronized in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle by culture in medium with low serum (DMEM/F12 medium with 0.5% FBS) for 2–4 days before SCNT. Enucleations, cell fusion, and artificial activations were performed. Briefly, meiotic metaphase II (MII) spindles were visualized under polarized microscopy and removed. Next, a disaggregated fibroblast was aspirated into a micropipette, exposed briefly to HVJ-E extract (Cosmo Bio LTD #ISK-CF-001-EX) and placed into the enucleated oocyte perivitelline space. After cell fusion, the SCNT oocytes were subjected to artificial activation.

A 50mL yeast culture in YPD was grown to OD600 of 0.6 and then arrested in G1-phase by addition of alpha factor (50 ng/mL) for 2h. As indicated, cells were treated with auxin at a concentration of 1mM for 30 min at 30°C to degrade AID-tagged Ask1or with nocodazole at a concentration of 15 μg/mL together with 1%DMSO for 2h at 30°C to destabilize microtubules. To release the cells from the arrest, 125U of Pronase (Sigma- Aldrich, 53702-25KU) and potassium phosphate buffer to a final concentration of 20mM was added. If necessary, 200mM HU was added in the release to induce S phase checkpoint activation. Samples for genomic DNA extraction were taken before the release and every 8min after releasing the cells from the arrest by adding 4.5mL of the culture to 500μL of 1% sodium azide solution (w/v) in 0.2M EDTA. The cells were washed once with water (4.000g, 3 min at 4°C) and the resulting yeast pellets were snapfrozen in liquid nitrogen.
For DNA extraction, the cell pellets were resuspended in buffer RINB (50mM Tris-HCl pH8, 0.1M EDTA, 0.1% (v/v) beta mercaptoethanol). Zymolyase was added to a final concentration of 2% (w/v). After incubating for 1h at 37°C, the solution was supplemented with 1% SDS (w/v), 0.2M NaCl, 0.1 mg/mL RNAse A, and 0.2 mg/mL proteinase K. After incubation for 1h at 55°C, DNA was isolated by phenol-chloroform extraction followed by ethanol precipitation. DNA pellets were suspended in 50μL of H2O. 5–10μg of DNA was then digested with EcoRI. The reactions were diluted 1:10 in H2O and analyzed by quantitative PCR using primers 0463/0466 (ARS305), 0552/0553 (ARS313), 0970/0971 (ARS315), 0837/0838 (ARS316), and 0834/0835 (ChrVI).

Yeast cells competent for recombination were cultured in YPR medium at 30°C to an OD600 of 1.0. Cells were then simultaneously arrested in G1 phase by addition of alpha factor (50 ng/mL) and expression of R recombinase induced by addition of galactose to a final concentration of 2% (w/v). Cells were grown for an additional 2h at 30°C before harvesting by centrifugation (10min, 7.000 g at 4°C), yielding approximately 1.5g of yeast cells wet weight per liter of medium. Cells were resuspended with water, before being pelleted in sealed 25mL syringes by centrifugation (10min, 7.000 g at 4°C). The supernatant was decanted, the syringe unsealed and the cells were extruded into liquid nitrogen. The resulting cell “spaghetti” can be stored at −80°C until further usage.
