Deletion of the CAP-H N-tail accelerates condensin I loading and mitotic chromosome assembly.
(A) Domain organization of vertebrate CAP-H and sequence alignments of the CAP-H N-tail in eukaryotes (left). Shown in the upper half is an alignment of the CAP-H orthologs (Homo sapiens: hCAP-H, Mus musculus: mCAP-H, Gallus gallus: GgCAP-H, Xenopus laevis: XlCAP-H, Danio rerio: DrCAP-H, Schizosaccharomyces pombe: SpCAP-H, Saccharomyces cerevisiae: ScCAP-H, and Encephalitozoon cuniculi: EcCAP-H). Six mutants tested in the current study (H-dN, H-N19A, H-N19D, H-dCH, and H-crCH) are shown in the bottom half. Conserved amino-acid residues were shown in yellow (N-tail) or blue (motif I). The helix motif predicted using Jpred4 (http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jpred/) is indicated by ‘CH’ (for the conserved helix). The N19A/N19D and crCH mutation sites were shown in red and purple, respectively. Also shown in a schematic diagram of the architecture of vertebrate condensin I (right). (B) Add-back assay with holo(WT) and holo(H-dN). Mouse sperm nuclei were incubated with condensin-depleted M-HSS that had been supplemented with holo(WT) or holo(H-dN) at concentrations of 4.4, 8.8, 17.5, and 35 nM. After 30 and 150 min, the reaction mixtures were fixed and processed for immunofluorescence labeling with an antibody against mSMC4. DNA was counterstained with DAPI. Shown here is a representative image from over 10 chromosome clusters examined per condition. Scale bar, 10 μm. (C) Quantification of the intensity of mSMC4 per DNA area in the experiment shown in (B) (n = 10 clusters of chromosomes). The error bars represent the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). The p values were assessed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test after obtaining a significant difference with two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). (D) Line profiles of mitotic chromosomes observed at 150 min shown in the experiment shown in (B). Signal intensities of DAPI (top) and mSMC4 (bottom) from chromosomes assembled by holo(WT) or holo(H-dN) at 17.5 or 35 nM were measured along with the lines drawn perpendicular to chromosome axes (n = 20). The mean and standard deviation (SD) were normalized individually to the DAPI intensities (arbitrary unit [a.u.]) at the center of chromosome axes (distance = 0 μm) (top). Intensities of mSMC4 signals were normalized relative to the value from holo(WT) at 35 nM (bottom). The error bars represent the mean ± SD.

Recombinant condensin I complexes and immunodepletion.
(A) The wild-type and mutant condensin I complexes used in the current study. The recombinant complexes were purified from insect cells and subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE). The gel was stained with Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB). (B) HaloTag–condensin I complexes used in the loop extrusion assay. The recombinant complexes were purified from insect cells and subjected to SDS–PAGE before being fluorescently labeled. The gel was stained with CBB. (C) Immunodepletion of endogenous condensins from Xenopus egg M-HSS. Endogenous condensin subunits were depleted from the M-HSS using Dynabeads Protein A coupled with control IgG (Δmock) or a mixture of antibodies against the subunits of condensins I and II (Δcond). To estimate the efficiency of depletion, the Δcond extract (100%) was compared with different amounts of the Δmock extract (5%, 20%, 50%, and 100%) by immunoblotting using the antibodies indicated. Endogenous topo IIα (XTopo IIα) was used as a loading control. The asterisk indicates a non-specific band.

Mitosis-specific phosphorylation of condensinI subunits.
(A) Schematic diagrams of hCAP-H and hCAP-D2. The hCAP-H N-tail has four SP/TP sites whereas the hCAP-D2 C-tail has three TP sites. Peptide sequences used to prepare phospho-specific antibodies are underlined (hHP1 and hHP2 for hCAP-H; hDP1, hDP2, and hDP3 for hCAP-D2). (B) Detection of phosphoepitopes in Xenopus egg extracts. Holo(WT) or holo(H-N19A) was added to Δcond M-HSS or I-HSS at a final concentration of 35 nM and incubated at 22°C for 150 min. The condensin complexes were immunoprecipitated and analyzed by immunoblotting using the antibodies indicated. (C) Phosphatase treatment of the recombinant condensin I complex. Holo(WT) was preincubated with Δcond M-HSS and immunoprecipitated as described in (B). Bead-bound fractions were treated with λ protein phosphatase (PPase) in the presence or absence of phosphatase inhibitors (PPase-I) and analyzed by immunoblotting using the antibodies indicated. (D) Phophopeptide competition assay. Holo(WT) was preincubated with Δcond M-HSS, immunoprecipitated and subjected to immunoblotting as described in (B). The membranes were triplicated and probed with anti-hHP1 in the presence of no competing peptide, hHP1 or hHP2. Another set of triplicated membranes was probed with anti-hHP2 in the presence of no competing peptide, hHP1 or hHP2.

Deletion of the CAP-H N-tail enables condensin I to assemble mitotic chromosome-like structures even in interphase extracts.
(A) Mouse sperm nuclei were incubated with M-HSS (left) and I-HSS (right) for 150 min, and the reaction mixtures were fixed and processed for immunofluorescence labeling with an antibody against XSMC2 (bottom). DNA was counterstained with DAPI (top). Scale bar, 10 μm. (B) Mouse sperm nuclei were incubated with condensin-depleted I-HSS that had been supplemented with a control buffer, holo(WT), or holo(H-dN) at a final concentration of 35 or 150 nM. After 15, 30, and 150 min, the reaction mixtures were fixed and processed for immunofluorescence labeling with an antibody against mSMC4. DNA was counterstained with DAPI. Shown here is a representative image from over 10 chromosome clusters examined per condition. Scale bar, 10 μm. (C) Blow-up images of a chromatin ‘mass’ assembled with 150 nM holo(WT) at 150 min and a cluster of mitotic ‘chromosome-like’ structures assembled with 150 nM holo(H-dN) at 150 min in the experiment shown in (B). Frequencies of the chromosomal phenotypes observed under the two conditions, which include ‘intermediate’ structures, are plotted on the right (n = 10 for each condition). Scale bar, 10 μm. (D) Quantification of mSMC4 intensities on interphase chromatin when added holo(WT) or holo(H-dN) at 150 nM. The graph shows the intensity of mSMC4 per the DAPI area (n = 10 masses of chromatin) shown in (B). The error bars represent the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). The p values were assessed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test after obtaining a significant difference with two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). A dataset from a single representative experiment out of three repeats is shown. Another set of the reproduced result was also shown in Figure 3—figure supplement 1.

Regulation of condensin I by the N-tail of its kleisin subunit.
(A) Summary of the mutant complexes tested in the current study. NT: not tested. (B) Model of cell cycle regulation of condensin I loading. The SMC2-kleisin gate is closed when the CAP-H motif I binds to the SMC2 neck (a). In our model, this binding is stabilized by the CAP-H N-tail, thereby preventing its untimely opening during interphase. The conserved helix located in the middle of the N-tail contributes to this stabilization, possibly through direct interaction with the SMC2 head or neck. Upon mitotic entry, multisite phosphorylation of the N-tail relaxes this stabilization (b). ATP binding and hydrolysis by the SMC subunits trigger the opening of the DNA entry gate, thereby enabling condensin I to load onto chromosomes (c, d). Thus, the kleisin N-tail of vertebrate condensin I could act as a ‘gatekeeper’ of the SMC2-kleisin gate.
