PRC1 target gene expression is controlled by M/SAPKs. (A,B) PRC1 target gene ATF3 expression (mRNA) in mitogen-stimulated (FCS/TPA) TIG3 cells, in the absence or presence of kinase inhibitors; data ± SD. (C) H3S28ph and BMI1 staining in starved or mitogen-stimulated U2-OS cells; DAPI: nuclear counterstain. (D) Subcellular PRC1 protein distribution in starved and stimulated U2-OS cells; nuclear soluble and chromatin-bound fractions were proportionally loaded; nuclear fractions correspond to approximately three to four cytoplasmic equivalents. Cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions were always loaded on the same gel for direct quantitative comparison (corresponding sections are shown separately; representative experiment shown). AKT, TUB, H3: fractioning and loading controls (quantification chromatin-bound BMI1: compare Additional file 1: Figure S1C).(E) Induced interaction of pERK and BMI1 in response to mitogens (stim) or selenite (stress) in U2-OS cells; loading controls: PRC1 proteins CBX4 and PHC1; PCR1 interaction confirmed by BMI1/CBX4 co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP); +/−: transfected BMI1-2Py cDNA.
