(A) Cumulative sum chart of NEB events in cdk1as2 brains, normalized to the total number by the time of 1-NA-PP1 addition (t0). N=141 divisions in 4 brains (0.5 µM), 77 divisions in 4 brains (1 µM), and 100 divisions in 3 brains (2 µM), 1 experiment. (B) Two successive divisions of a cdk1AS2 neuroblast in the absence of 1-NA-PP1 followed by one division in the presence of 1-NA-PP1.

Partial inhibition of analog-sensitive CDK1.

(A) Two consecutive divisions of live control and cdk1as2 cycling neuroblasts expressing Baz::GFP, before and after addition of 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM at t0. Arrow: coalesced Baz crescent in metaphase. Arrowhead: non-coalesced crescent. Scale bar: 5 µm. (A’) Ratio between the apical Baz signal at metaphase in the presence of 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM and the Baz signal during the previous metaphase, in the absence of 1-NA-PP1. In control neuroblasts, 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM addition does not reduce the intensity of Baz crescents compared to the previous cell cycle (loss of 5.3 ± 24%, n=39). In cdk1as2 neuroblasts, 1-NA-PP1 addition reduces the intensity of Baz crescents compared to the previous cell cycle (loss of 34.2 ± 17%, n=36). Statistical test: two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test. For this boxplot and every following boxplot: cross: maximal and/or minimal outliers (beyond 1.5×interquartile range); grey circle: average; red dots: individual measurements; centre line, median; box limits, upper and lower quartiles; whiskers, 1.5×interquartile range. 5 brains per condition across 3 experiments. (B) Two consecutive divisions of cycling baz815-8, cdk1as2 neuroblasts expressing BazΔLB::GFP or BazΔOD::GFP, before and after exposure to 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM. Scale bar: 5 µm. n=92 divisions in the presence of 1-NA-PP1 in 7 brains (BazΔLB) and 75 divisions in 5 brains (BazΔOD), 2 experiments. (C) Two consecutive divisions of cycling cdk1as2 embryonic neuroblasts expressing Baz::GFP and His::RFP, before and after exposure to 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM. (C’) Ratio between the apical Baz signal at metaphase in the presence of 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM and the Baz signal during the previous metaphase, in the absence of 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM in cdk1as2 embryonic neuroblasts. Statistical test: two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test. n=37 successive divisions in 31 neuroblasts across 5 embryos, 3 experiments. (D) Cycling neuroblasts at metaphase. Scale bar: 5 µm. (D’) Control cycling neuroblasts maintain stable Baz levels throughout metaphase (+0.4 ± 6.1% in 75 seconds, n=52 neuroblasts, 4 brains) in the presence of 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM. In CDK1as2 cycling neuroblasts, Baz levels decrease during metaphase in the presence 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM (–9.8 ± 7.3% in 75 s, n=49, 6 brains). Statistical test: two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test. Two experiments. (E) cdk1as2 neuroblast first treated with 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM for 1 hr, and then treated with Colcemid 100 µM. Neuroblasts stay polarized during metaphase (Baz crescents were maintained in 40/40 neuroblasts arrested in metaphase for at least 45’, 6 brains, 2 experiments). t0: NEB. Scale bar: 5 µm. (F) cdk1as2 neuroblast first treated with 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM for 1 hr, then treated with Colcemid 100 µM for 30 min, after which 1-NA-PP1 was washed out (in this case 16.5’ after NEB). Some metaphase-arrested neuroblasts undergo Baz crescents coalescence following 1-NA-PP1 washout (n=19/51 neuroblasts, 7 brains, 3 experiments). t0: NEB. Scale bar: 5 µm. (G) Cycling neuroblasts fixed at metaphase, exposed to 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM, expressing Baz::GFP (green) and stained for aPKC (blue) and Miranda (magenta). Scale bar: 5 µm. (H) Cycling neuroblasts fixed at metaphase, exposed to 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM, expressing Baz::GFP (green) and stained for Numb (magenta). Scale bar: 5 µm. (I) Apical aPKC signal and (J) basal Mira signal in metaphase neuroblasts exposed to 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM. n=23 neuroblasts in 5 brains (cdk1+) and 27 neuroblasts in 4 brains (cdk1as2), 2 experiments. (K) Basal Numb signal in metaphase neuroblasts exposed to 1-NA-PP1 0.5 µM. n=55 neuroblasts in 6 brains (cdk1+) and 30 neuroblasts in 13 brains (cdk1as2), 2 experiments. Statistical test: two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test. (L) In control neuroblasts, an apical Baz crescent (green) assembles in prophase and coalesces (green arrows) into a narrower, brighter crescent at NEB. Its intensity is maintained throughout metaphase. Upon partial inhibition of CDK1, an apical Baz crescent (green) assembles in prophase but fails to coalesce at NEB and its intensity decreases during metaphase. Basal polarity proteins (magenta) form more intense crescents than in controls.

Figure 6The previous Figure 6 has been replaced with Figure 7 (see below). This entirely new Figure 6 shows that Baz-S180 phosphorylation affects Baz localisation during the pIIa cell asymmetric cell division in the SOP lineage (Reviewer 1 request)
Figure S6This entirely new figure describes mosaic expression of UASz-driven Baz within the SOP lineage and how we took advantage of it to analyse the contribution of SOP lineage cells to various pools of cortical Baz. It also describes a new cell non autonomous mechanism controlling the pIIb cell division orientation.
Figure 7We have replaced the previous Figure 6 (testing full length human PARD3 phosphorylation by CDK1 in vitro) with this entirely new Figure 7. We synthesized Drosophila Baz and human PARD3 N-terminal fragments and showed that CDK1 phosphorylates Baz-S180 and the “equivalent” PARD3-S187 in vitro.
