(A) Inter‐kinetochore distance is reduced in unaligned chromosomes of Beclin‐1‐depleted cells. The distance between each kinetochore pair was quantified in siRNA‐treated and control cells treated with nocodazole for 3 h before fixation. Cells were stained with anti‐CREST antibody and DAPI. Quantification of the distance between kinetochore pairs (indicated by coloured bars) is reported at the bottom and done on sister kinetochores present in the same focal plane. One asterisk indicates significant result (P=0.0365). Graphs represent three independent experiments (error bars=s.d.).
