AZ3146 (2 µM, Tocris) and proTAME (Boston Chemicals) were added just prior to filming at indicated concentrations. Cells were treated with 25 ng/ml nocodazole (Sigma Aldrich) overnight to arrest them. For SAC silencing assays (Fig. S1A) 12.5 ng/ml nocodazole was used in the media and reversine (Cayman Chemicals) added after 60 min of filming. Cyclin B1 degradation assays were performed similarly but with 25 ng/ml nocodazole.

RPE1 cells were purchased from ATCC, and HeLa Flp‐in cells were a gift from S Taylor (University of Manchester, UK) (Tighe et al, 2008). The RPE1 Cyclin B1‐EYFP cells have been published previously (Shaltiel et al, 2014), as have the U2OS with LacO array on chromosome 1 (Janicki et al, 2004). All cells were authenticated by STR profiling (Eurofins) and screened every 4–8 weeks to ensure they were mycoplasma‐free. Cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 9% FBS and 50 μg/ml penicillin/streptomycin, except during fluorescence time‐lapse analysis, when they were cultured in Leibovitz's L‐15 media (900 mg/l D+ Galactose, 5 mM Sodium Pyruvate, no phenol red). Doxycycline (1 μg/ml), STLC (S‐Trityl‐l‐cysteine: 10 μM) and thymidine (2 mM) were purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich, nocodazole (3.3 μM) from Millipore, puromycin and hygromycin B from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, MG132 (10 μM) from SelleckBio, AZ‐3146 (at indicated concentrations) from Axon, rapamycin (100 nM) from LC Laboratories and reversine (at indicated concentrations) from Cayman Chemicals.

Oocyte Isolation and Manipulation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For oocyte isolation 8–12-week-old CD1, BDF1, FVB or H2B-EGFP [69 (link)] mice were stimulated by 5 IU of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) 46 hours before experiment and killed by cervical dislocation. Oocytes were collected into the M2 medium and cultured either in Opti-MEM medium (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% FCS in 5% CO2 atmosphere or in M2 at 37°C. Meiotic maturation was prevented by 2.5 μM milrinone (Sigma-Aldrich). BI2536 (ChemieTek or Axon Medchem BV), reversine (Cayman Chemical or Merck Millipore), MG132 (Calbiochem or Sigma-Aldrich) and flavopiridol (Sigma Aldrich) were used at 100 nM, 1 μM, 1 μM, and 1 μM respectively.
We microinjected oocytes[70 (link)] with 2 pl mEGFP-PLK1, 1 pl EGFP-CENP-C[31 (link)], 4pl 3mCherry-CENP-C[31 (link)], 0.2 pl H2B-mCherry[31 (link)], 1.5 pl EGFP-MAP4[29 (link)], 1 pl securin-EGFP[71 (link)], 0.5 pl cyclin B1-EGFP[72 (link)], and 1 pl mEGFP-EMI1, from 1 μg/μl mRNA stocks. For nuclear envelope permeability measurement, H2B-EGFP oocytes were microinjected with 5 pl of 2 mg/ml 70-kDa dextran conjugated with tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) (Sigma Aldrich, D-1819).

The two human GC cell lines AGS and NCI-N87, in addition to the human immortalized gastric epithelial cell line (GES-1) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. GC cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and penicillin-streptomycin (100 U/ml) at 37˚C with 5% CO2. By contrast, GES-1 cells were grown in DMEM (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) containing 10% FBS with 100 U/ml P/S at 37˚C with 5% CO2. Reversine was purchased from Cayman Chemical Company and was kept as a 10 mM solution in DMSO.

293FT, JW36 HeLa, YFP-H2B HeLa, U2OS, and 6xHis-SUMO2 (a gift from Mary Dasso, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) cells were maintained at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Cells were grown in DMEM medium (Gibco) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Atlanta Biologicals). Cells were not tested for mycoplasma contamination or authenticated otherwise. Thymidine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO.) was dissolved in DMSO and used at a final concentration of 2 mM; nocodazole (Calbiochem, Burlington, MA) was dissolved in DMSO and used at a final concentration of 100 ng/mL or 3.3 μM as indicated. To synchronize cells into S phase, cells were cultured in the presence of 2 mM Thymidine for 19 hr, released in drug-free media for 6 hr, and cultured in 2 mM Thymidine for 19 hr. For mitotic timecourse analysis, cells were released from the double Thymidine block and harvested in 2x SDS-sample buffer at indicated timepoints.
To weaken SAC signaling, 50 nM of the Mps1 kinase inhibitor, Reversine (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI), was used immediately before timelapse acquisition.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
