Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic of the fusion-protein constructs. Top: full constructs contain a TetON doxycycline (DOX)-inducible promoter, a Myc-tagged-TRF1 fused to a chromatin modifier (here, KRAB), a T2A, and mCherry-NES (nuclear export signal). (B) Western blot showing expression of the constructs (anti-Myc antibody) and H3K9me3 global levels in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction. (C) Representative chromatin immunoprecipitation of H3, H3K9me3, and HP1α at telomeres and ALU repeats in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction (T-KRAB: TRF1-KRAB). (D) Quantification of (C). Data represent mean ± SEM of n = 3 independent biological replicates. (E) Representative images of IF-FISH assessing PML colocalization with telomeres (TTAGGG) in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction. Scale bars, 10 μm. (F–I) Quantification of (E). (F) Number of telomere foci per cell. (G) Standard deviation of the telomere foci area within each cell. (H) Number of total (small and large) telomere-PML colocalizations (TPF). (I) percentage of cells with at least 5 APBs. (F–H) Data represent mean ± SEM of all cells analyzed over three biological replicates. n (number of cells analyzed) = 110 (WT), 115 (TRF1), and 113 (TRF1-KRAB). (I) Data represent mean ± SEM of n = 3 independent biological replicates, with at least 30 cells analyzed per replicate. (J) Representative C-circle assay in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction. Right: quantification. Data represent mean ± SEM of n = 3 independent biological replicates. (K) G2 telomere synthesis: colocalization of TRF2 with G2-incorporated EdU in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction. Scale bars, 10 μm. Right: quantification. Data represent mean ± SEM of 3 independent biological replicates, with at least 30 cells analyzed per replicate. Statistical analyses: for (D and F–I), ordinary one-way ANOVA. For (J and K), Welch’s t test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001. ns, non-significant. See also .

(C)Representative chromatin immunoprecipitation of H3, H3K9me3, and HP1α at telomeres and ALU repeats in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction (T-HP1α: TRF1-HP1α). (D) Quantification of (C). Data represent mean ± SEM of n = 3 independent biological replicates. (E) Representative images of IF-FISH assessing PML colocalization with telomeres (TTAGGG) in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction. Scale bars, 10 μm. (F) Quantification of cells with at least 5 APBs from (E). Data represent mean ± SEM of n = 3 independent biological replicates, with at least 30 cells analyzed per replicate. (G) Representative C-circle assay in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction. Right: quantification. Data represent mean ± SEM of n = 3 independent biological replicates. (H) G2 telomere synthesis: colocalization of TRF2 with G2-incorporated EdU in U2OS after 3 days of DOX induction. Left: representative images. Scale bars, 10 μm. Right: quantification.
