Figure. S1. β-galactosidase reporter assay in ESCRT mutant strains: (A) Schematic diagram of pHYC2 as described in Fig. 3D; (B) β -galactosidase reporter assay in the indicated deletion stains harboring CYC1-lacZ reporter plasmid pHYC2. The expression of the CYC1- lacZ reporter in the indicated mutant strains was measured as described in Fig. 3D. The means and standard deviations from experiment performed in triplicate are plotted as percentages of the WT value.

Figure. S2. Analyses of the global histone H2B ubiquitylation and H3 lysine methylation in

ESCRT-I mutant strains: (A) FLAG purification of H2B from YKH045 (Flag-HTB1),

YKH046 (Flag-htb1-K123R), YKH047 (ubp8Δ) and ESCRT-I mutants in an YKH045 background was probed using an anti-FLAG antibody to monitor both unmodified and modified FLAG-tagged H2B; (B) Whole cell extracts from the strains shown in (A) were subjected to SDS-PAGE and probed with antibodies directed against trimethylated H3 on lysine residues 4, 36 and 79. Histone H3 was used as a loading control.
