Supp Figure 1Quantification of spindle intensity Intensities of anaphase spindles (36˚C) are measured in wild type and alp7 mutant cells using image J (NIH). Brightness of spindles along the axial length and width is plotted. Raw data of spindle brightness in wild type and alp7 mutant cells are shown.
Supp Figure 2The percentage of cells displaying condensed chromosomes in a strain containing Alp7-GFP Strains grown at 26˚C were fixed and strains with DAPI. The percentage of cells containing condensed chromosomes was counted.
Supp Figure 3Production of anti-Alp14 peptide antibody Peptide (MSQDQEEDYSKLPLESR) corresponding the N-terminal region of Alp14 was used to immunise rabbit. Serum was affinity purified and used for immunoblotting. Extracts (30 μg/lane) used are from wild type (lane 1), alp14-deletion (lane 2) and wild type cells containing multicopy plasmids carrying the alp14 + gene (lane 3).
Supp Figure 4Homology between Alp7 and TACC members Amino acid sequence of the C-terminal coiled-coil region of Alp7 and the corresponding "TACC" domain in the TACC/TAC-1 members is compared. Conserved amino acid resides are shown on the bottom row.
