Fig. 1. Cep70 is a deuterosome associated protein. A-B, Z-projections of a non-MCC (A) and an MCC (B) labeled with the centriole marker Centrin4-RFP (red) and GFP-Cep70 (green), inlays are side projections. Scale bar is 5μm. C-D, Mature MCCs in embryos injected with RFP-Cep70 and GFP-CCDC78 (C) and GFP-Deup1 (D). C’-D’, side projections of C-D with arrows identifying colocalization below the apical surface. Scale bar is 5μm. E, Co-IP using FLAG beads to pull down FLAG-CCDC78 followed by an anti-GFP Western blot to identify GFP-Cep70. F, Co-IP using FLAG beads to pull down FLAG-Cep70 followed by anti-GFP Western blot to identify GFP-CCDC78. G, Co-IP using FLAG beads to pull down either FLAG-CCDC78 (lanes 1–3) or FLAG-Cep70 (lanes 4–6) followed by anti-GFP Western blot to identify GFP-Deup1.

Fig. 2. Dynamic localization of Cep70 to the deuterosome. A-F Images of ectopic MCCs from embryos injected with the MCC inducing factor hGR-MCIDAS, treated with Dex and co-injected with RFP-Cep70 and the deuterosome marker GFP-CCDC78 (A, C, E) or GFP-Cep70 and the centriole marker Centrin4-RFP (B, D, F) stained with phalloidin. A-B, Early phase (2-3Hrs) of MCC development with Cep70 co-localizing to parental centrioles (B) but not nascent deuterosomes marked by CCDC78 (A). C-D, Middle phase (4-6Hrs) of MCC development showing FP-Cep70 co-localizing with GFP-CCDC78 at deuterosomes (yellow foci in E) but not at parental centrioles (red foci in C) and co-localizing with centrin4-RFP at parental centrioles (yellow foci in D) but not deuterosomes (green foci in D). Late phase (>6Hrs) of MCC development showing FP-Cep70 co-localizing with GFP-CCDC78 at deuterosomes (yellow foci in E) but not at presumptive nascent centrioles (red foci in E) and co-localizing with Centrin4-RFP at nascent centrioles (yellow foci in F) but not presumptive deuterosomes (green foci on F). Scale bar is 5μm.

Fig. 3. Different domains of Cep70 contribute to different cellular localizations. A, Domain map of Cep70 and description of the 4 individual domain constructs used in B-E along with quantification of localization for each construct (n > 30 cells for each condition). Scale bars are 5μm. B-E, Localization of GFP-CCDC78 (green) and RFP-Cep70 (red) domain constructs in mature MCCs stained with phalloidin (purple) with boxed areas blown up and shown without phalloidin both top and side projections. B, RFP-Cep70-C1 localizing weakly at the level of basal bodies (arrowhead) and in cytoplasmic aggregates (white arrow). C, RFP-Cep70-C2 localizing strongly at the level of basal bodies (arrowhead) and in cytoplasmic aggregates (white arrow). D, RFP-Cep70-CC localizing weakly at the level of basal bodies (arrowhead) and in cytoplasmic aggregates (white arrow). E, RFP-Cep70-Cep70M localizing very weakly at the level of basal bodies (arrowhead) and at the deuterosome (green arrow).
