Cells were transfected in 8-well glass chambers (Millipore) and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde 24 hours later. Cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X100 and blocked with 10% donkey serum. GFP and mCherry fluoresce was detected directly. The primary antibodies used were: SC-35 (1:300; Abcam, ab11826), PML (1:50; Santa Cruz, sc-966), coilin (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-32860), B23 (1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-56622) Myc-tag (1:500 Cell Signaling Technologies, 71D10), HA-tag (1:250; Clone 3F10, Roche, 11867423001), FK2 (1:50; Enzo Life Sciences, BML-PW8810), V5-tag (1:300, Novus Biological, NB600–379). The secondary antibodies used were Alexa 555, 647 (1:5,000; Thermo-Fisher), and CF405S (1:1000; Biotium). Samples were mounted on ProLong Gold antifade with or without DAPI and cured before imaging on a Zeiss LSM 780 NLO microscope. Images were prepared with the Fiji software.

Western blots were performed using SDS/PAGE as described previously (33 (link)). Western blots were conducted using antibodies raised to INTS1 (Bethyl), INTS3 (Bethyl), INTS4 (Bethyl), INTS7 (Bethyl), INTS9 (Bethyl), INTS10 (Bethyl), INTS11 (Bethyl), INTS12 (Bethyl), tubulin (Abcam), Coilin (Santa Cruz), SMN (Santa Cruz), Gemin2 (Santa Cruz), GFP (Clontech) and FLAG epitope (Sigma). In Figure 3F, the degree of knockdown was determined using a Chemidoc Image System (Biorad) (Supplementary Figure S1A and B). In Figure 3G and H, the degree of RNAi-rescue was normalized to the amount of GFP expression observed in control siRNA transfected cells relative to that observed in knockdown cells (Supplementary Figure S1C and D). In the case Figure 4B, the U7-GFP reporter results were quantified using a fluorescence plate reader (Tecan) and normalized to mCherry transfection control.

Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min and washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) three times of 10-min each before permeabilized by 0.2% Triton-X 100/PBS for 10 min and additional PBS wash three times. Primary antibodies were then incubated for 1 h at room temperature. They are from the indicated sources and used at the stated dilutions: RPA194, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, catalogue#sc-48385, 1:100; PTB (S. Huang laboratory), 1:300; UBF, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, catalogue#: sc-13125, 1:50; fibrillarin, Sigma, catalogue#: ANA-N, 1:10; CENPA (Thermo Fisher #MA1-20832, 1:100; coilin, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, catalogue#: sc-32860, 1:300; Flash histone locus protein (Joseph Gall, Carnegie Institution for Science), 1:500; SMN, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, catalogue# sc-15320, 1:300, SC-35 1:200 (David Spector, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). After incubation with primary antibodies, the fluorescein-conjugated (Jackson ImmunoResearch) and Alexa Fluor-labeled (ThermoFisher Scientific ) secondary antibodies were incubated with cells at a dilution of 1:200 for 1 h at room temperature. Cell bearing coverslips were then mounted with Vector mounting media. Slides were visualized on a Nikon Eclipse Ti-E inverted fluorescence microscope using NIS-Elements AR 4.2 software (Nikon).

0.1×106 HeLa cells were seeded in a 13 mm cover slip for 5 hours and then fixed with 4% formaldehyde (Thermo Scientific) for 20 minutes at room temperature. Suspension cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde and then cytospun at 300 rpm for 5 min onto microscope slides. Fixed cells were permeabilised in PBST buffer (1%BSA; 0.1%Triton-X in PBS) for 30 minutes in a humidified chamber, then blocked with 5% goat serum (SIGMA) in PBST. Permeabilised cells were stained for 1 hour at room temperature with one or two of the following primary antibodies: FLAG (SIGMA; Thermo Scientific); coilin (Santa Cruz); SMN, GEMIN5 (Millipore); Fibrillarin (Cell Signalling); REIIBP [8] (link) and then for 1 hour with secondary Alexa Fluor (448, 566 or 633) antibodies. Stained cells were mounted using Vectashield media with DAPI. Confocal analyses were conducted on a Zeiss LSM700 equipped with inverted Axio Observer.Z1 and AxioCam. The lenses used were Plan-Apochromat 40×/1.3 and 63×/1.40. Immersion oil used is Immersol 518F (ZEISS). Images were acquired using ZEN 2009 (ZEISS) software and analysed using ZEN 2009 (ZEISS) or Image J softwares.

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.
