As a standard, 100% (lane 1) of mitotic extract, 100% (lane 2), 50% (lane 3), 25% (lane 4), 12.5% (lane 5) and 6.25% (lane 6) of interphase extract were loaded in parallel. Efficiency of immunodepletion was measured by quantitative immunoblotting using the antibodies indicated. Sperm nuclei were incubated with mitotic extract (lanes 1–4), or interphase extract (lane 5), OA-treated interphase extract (lane 6), OA-treated interphase extract depleted of Aurora B (lane 7), OA-treated interphase extract depleted of Aurora A (lane 8), and OA-treated interphase extract depleted of Cdc2 (lane 9). Chromatin or chromosomes were isolated, and 100% (lanes 1, 5–9), 50% (lane 2), 25% (lane 3) and 12.5% (lane 4) of the samples were blotted by anti-phospho-H3 antibody (upper), anti-XCAP-C (middle) or anti-XCAP-E (lower) antibodies. In the case of blotting with anti-condensin subunit antibodies, a lower amount of samples was used as a standard, namely, 25% (lane 1), 12.5% (lane 2), 6.3% (lane 3) and 3.1% (lane 4). Sperm chromatin was incubated with mitotic extract (a), interphase extract (b), OA-treated interphase extract (c), OA-treated interphase extract depleted of Aurora B (d), OA-treated interphase extract depleted of Aurora A (e) and OA-treated interphase extract depleted of Cdc2 (f). Samples were fixed and stained with Hoechst
