Supplemental Figure S1. Schematic representation of hybridization probes. (A) Hybridization sites of probes used to visualize and identify individual acrocentric chromosomes (q-arm and DJ BAC), endogenous NORs (IGS) and endogenous pre-rRNA (human 5’ETS). The 43972bp sequence used as a reference rDNA repeat corresponds to nucleotides 105424-149395 of BAC clone RP11-337M7 (Acc. No. AL592188). Next generation sequencing of nucleolar DNA has confirmed that this sequence is a representative rDNA repeat (McStay unpublished data). (B) Location of hybridization probes used to identify neo-NORs (XEn) by DNA-FISH and their derived transcripts (mouse 5’ETS, ITS2, 28S and 3’ETS) by RNA-FISH. The coordinates of mouse probes correspond to the sequence of a complete mouse rDNA repeat (Acc. No. BK000964).

Supplemental Figure S2. UBF depletion induces the appearance of a sub-G1 cell population. (A) Western blot of proteins extracted from HT1080 cells and UBF-KD cells cultured with 1µg/ml Dox for 48h, 96h and 144h. Molecular weight markers in kDa are indicated on the left. Anti-UBF antibodies revealed a ~50-fold depletion of UBF1 (97kDa) and UBF2 (94kDa) while anti-RPA43 antibodies reveal the conserved level of pol I subunit RPA43 (43kDa). (B) FACS analysis of HT1080 cells and UBF-KD cells cultured with 1µg/ml Dox for 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h. Following 72h of culture with 1µg/ml Dox, G2/M cells decrease while sub-G1 cells accumulate (red *).

Supplemental Figure S3. UBF down-regulation releases rDNA repeats from the nucleolus. Combined 3D-immuno FISH performed on HT1080 and UBF-KD cells cultured with 2ng/ml Dox reveals that dissociated rDNA repeats identified using an IGS probe (arrowheads) are devoid of UBF.

Supplemental Figure S4. Formation of 2° constriction is UBF-dependent in Ptk-2 cells. (A) A cDNA clone encoding Ptk UBF was cloned and sequenced in order to design 3 siRNAs. Western blot of proteins extracted from Ptk-2 cells transfected with control or UBF siRNAs shows a 20-fold UBF depletion. (B) Immuno-staining of siRNA transfected Ptk-2 cells identifies the nucleolar remnants after UBF depletion. (C) Metaphase chromosome spreads prepared from control and UBF siRNA transfected Ptk-2 cells were hybridized with a human 18S and 28S rDNA probe. Arrowheads indicate the NOR. UBF depletion induces the loss of the 2° constriction associated with the single NOR in these cells. (D) Silver-staining (arrowheads) of metaphase spreads from Ptk-2 cells indicates that UBF depletion results in the loss of NOR silver-staining.

Supplemental Figure S5. Chromosomal mapping and characterization of neo-NORs. (A) FISH experiments performed on metaphase chromosome spreads prepared from each neo-NOR line classify them into acrocentric (a1-a3) and metacentric (m1-m3) clones. XEn probe labels neo-NORs, while a human IGS probe identifies endogenous NORs. BAC clones RP11-42OH1 (AC18739), RP11-32B5 (AC068446) and RP11-278E23 (AC013360) identify respectively the q-arms of acrocentric chromosomes 13, 15 and 22. Chromosome painting with chromosome paints prepared from chromosome specific DOP-PCR products (kind gift from M. and T. Cremer) identify metacentric chromosome 4. (B) The size and integrity of each neo-NOR was determined by Southern blotting. Genomic DNA from HT1080 and neo-NOR cell lines were digested to release neo-NOR transcription units and probed with sequences derived from the mouse 5’ETS. Similarly digested pNeo-NOR plasmid served as a size marker. Note the high degree of sequence rearrangement. (C) Table indicating the chromosomal location and the estimated copy number of intact transcription units integrated in neo-NOR lines. (D) Silver-staining of metaphase spreads from pseudo-NOR clone 3D and neo-NOR clone m1. Pseudo-NOR and neo-NOR are indicated by arrowheads. Note the silver-staining of an endogenous NOR (*) in the lower right panel.

Supplemental Figure S6. Transcription across the neo-NOR cassette. (A) RNA FISH experiments performed on mouse 3T3 and human HT1080 cells demonstrate the specificity of mouse (green) and human (red) 5’ETS probes and identify neo-NOR-derived transcripts in neo-NOR clones a1-a3, m2 and m3. (B) RNA FISH using mouse ITS2 probe identifies neo-NOR-derived transcripts in clone m1. (C) RNA FISH using mouse 3’ETS probe identifies neo-NOR-derived transcripts in clones a1-a3 and m1-m3.

Supplemental Figure S7. Neo-NORs recruit FC, DFC and GC components to build neo-nucleoli. Combined 3D-immuno RNA FISH reveals that FC/DFC factors coupling rDNA transcription to pre-rRNA processing, t-UTP10 and Treacle, together with DFC factors, Nap57 and U3-55K, and GC factor Nucleolin, colocalize with neo-NOR-derived transcripts in clone m1.

Supplemental Figure S12. UBF depletion induces neo-NOR condensation and loss of neo-nucleoli. Combined 3D-immuno FISH experiments performed on clone m1 cells transfected with control or UBF siRNAs reveal the condensation of neo-NORs (XEn probe) and their failure to form neo-nucleoli recruiting UBF and Fibrillarin (Fib) upon UBF siRNA knockdown. Images shown are restricted to the nuclear region containing neo-NORs.

Supplemental Video S1: neo-NOR territory. A video showing the 3D arrangement of neo-NOR organization within large mature nucleoli. 3D-RNA FISH was performed on neo-NOR clone m1. Neo-NOR derived transcripts were detected using a mouse 5’ETS probe (green) transcripts from endogenous NORs were detected using a human 5’ ETS probe (red). This video was prepared from 3D images of deconvolved Z-stacks rotated to create a series of bookmarks. The movie is an animation of the transition between these bookmarks.
