Figure 2(A-C) Igfbp1a promotes β cell regeneration, rather than β cell survival. To trace β cells, we exposed Tg(ins:kaede) larvae to UV light (which causes the existing Kaede protein to switch from emitting green fluorescence to emitting red fluorescence) just before ablating the β cells by MTZ treatment from 3-4 dpf. After regeneration, the newly formed β cells are green, whereas the β cells that survived ablation are yellow (overlap of green and red). (A&amp;amp;B) Representative confocal images at 6 dpf of control and bactin:igfbp1a-overexpressing Tg(ins:kaede);Tg(ins:CFP-NTR) transgenic larvae; arrows indicate surviving (yellow) β cells.

(D-F) Igfbp1a does not promote δ-cell regeneration. We treated control and bactin:igfbp1a-overexpressing Tg(sst:flag-NTR);Tg(sst:dsRed) larvae with MTZ from 3-4 dpf to ablate δ cells, and then allowed them to regenerate until 6 dpf. (D&amp;amp;E) Representative confocal images at 6 dpf of control and bactin:igfbp1a-overexpressing larvae showing comparable number of δ cells after 2 days of regeneration. Scale bars: 15 μm.

P=0.2325. n=13 in the control group, n=7 in the bactin:igfbp1a group. (G) Other Igfbps do not promote β-cell regeneration. We injected Tg(ins:kaede);Tg(ins:CFP-NTR) transgenics with either transposase mRNA (control; n=31) or transposase mRNA + one of six different igfbps, igfbp2a (n=25), igfbp2b (n=25), igfbp3 (n=26), igfbp5a (n=17), igfbp6b (n=34), and igfbp7 (n=17), treated them with MTZ from 3-4 dpf to ablate their β cells, and then quantified their β cells after 2 days of regeneration, at 6 dpf; ns=nonsignificant; (igfbp2aP=0.986, igfbp2bP=0.037, igfbp3P=0.979, igfbp5aP=0.999, igfbp6bP=0.997, and igfbp7P=0.999). (H) Tg(pcsk1:GFP) is expressed in regenerating β cells within the islet (arrowheads), but not outside the islet (arrow), at 6 dpf in larvae overexpressing igfbp1a. Scale bar: 15 μm. (I&amp;amp;J) Free-glucose levels during β-cell regeneration in control (bactin:mCherry) and bactin:igfbp1a-overexpressing Tg(ins:kaede);Tg(ins:CFP-NTR) larvae (I), as well as in Tg(ins:kaede);Tg(ins:CFP-NTR) larvae injected in the pericardial sac at 4 dpf with 1 ng of recombinant mouse Igfbp1 (J). We treated larvae with MTZ from 3-4 dpf to ablate their β cells, and monitored their free-glucose levels at 3-7 dpf. Free-glucose levels were significantly lower after genetic igfbp1a overexpression or Igfbp1-protein injection (red lines) than in controls (black lines) at 7 and 6 dpf, respectively. Baseline reference levels of free glucose throughout development are shown for a different set of larvae without β-cell ablation. n=24 larvae (four pools of six larvae) per data point.
NucNeoR presentation does not depend on CRM1‐mediated nuclear export.Figure 3(A) RCC1.24 cells were transfected with the NES‐GFP‐NeoR‐GFP‐NLS expression construct and subcellular localization of the fusion protein was monitored by UV fluorescence. As compared to untreated cells (a), cells treated with 8 nM LMB for 20 h (b) showed a strong accumulation of the protein in the nucleus. (a') and (b') are the corresponding daylight photographs of the transfected cells. (B) NeoR‐ and NucNeoR‐transfected LCL1.11 cells were either left untreated or incubated for 20 h with 8 nM LMB. Subsequently, the cells were fixed with 0.5% paraformaldehyde and probed with the NeoR‐specific T cells. LMB treatment had no significant effect on the presentation of NeoR or NucNeoR on MHC class II, indicating that CRM1‐dependent nuclear export is not involved in the presentation of this nuclear antigen on MHC class II.

As a control, in vitro-translated (IVT) Rad21 was incubated with hyperactive separase-SA or a protease-dead (PD) varian  (C) Sensor expressing cells were treated in G2-phase with DRB and nocodazole for 6 and 2 h, respectively, prior to chromosome spreading and IFM using Hec1- and γH2AX-antibodies. The separase sensor was detected based on autofluorescence of eGFP and mCherry, while Hec1- and γH2AX-antibodies were detected with corresponding Cy5- and marina blue-labeled secondary antibodies, respectively. Note that sizes of spread chromosomes vary greatly with buffer conditions, which is why no scale bar is shown

ISG15 promoter was included as a positive control. A negative feedback mechanism regulating JAK-STAT signaling involving cTAZ. Upon IFN-α stimulation, STAT1/2 are phosphorylated and undergo dimerization. STAT1/2 dimer interacts with importins (such as Im-α5), enters nucleus, and activates transcription of target genes including ISGs. The expression of cTAZ is induced by STAT1/2. Elevated cTAZ blocks the dimerization and nuclear translocation of STAT1/2, which in turn leads to repression of the JAK-STAT signaling. cTAZ represent a critical node of a negative feedback mechanism regulating the JAK-STAT signaling.
