Experimental details: Figure 2 Loss of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA interacting 1 (Pin1) enhances muscle fusion in vitro. (a) Low dose of the Pin1 inhibitor dipentamethylene thiuram monosulfide (DTM; 0.01 muM) treatment caused more enhanced fusion than higher dosage (1 muM) in C2C12 cells. C2C12 cells were differentiated for 5 days with different dosage of Pin1 inhibitor DTM ranging from 0.001 to 10 muM. Cells were then immunostained for myosin heavy chain (MyHC) with anti-MyHC antibody and Cy3-conjugated secondary antimouse antibody. Scale bar= 50 muM in Day 3 images and scale bar= 100 muM in Day 5 images. (b) DTM treatment at 0.01 muM concentration shows highest fusion index. Graph showing the fusion index calculated by dividing the total number of nuclei in multinucleated cells (which have more than two nuclei) in each field by the total number of nuclei and making percentage from cells treated with DTM or without DTM ( **p < 0.001). DTM treatment at 0.01 muM concentration shows the highest fusion index. (c) Nuclei number in each myotube ( x -axis in the graph) of cells treated with different dosages of DTM.

Experimental details: Figure 6 Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA interacting 1 (Pin1)-binding serine 204 residue in the smad3 linker region is crucial for fusion. (a) Pin1 binds to serine 204 and serine 208 of the Smad3 linker region in postmitotic C2C12 cells. Smad3 wild type and SP/TP site mutants in the linker region of Smad3 (CS2 Smad3-WT, CS2 Smad3 T179V, CS2 Smad3 S204A, CS2 Smad3 S208A, and CS2 Smad3 S213A) were coexpressed with PCNDA3.1 HA-Pin1. 24 hr posttransfection and postculture in a differentiation medium, cells were harvested and Immunoprecipitatioin (IP) was done with the anti-HA antibody. Later, western blot analysis was done for IP samples and input samples followed by immunoblotting for the Flag tag and actin. (b) Cells overexpressing CS2 Smad3 S204A only showed rescue of myotube fusion, and cells overexpressing CS2 Smad3 T179V showed many cells with two nuclei. C2C12 cells were transfected with constructs for Smad3 wild type and SP-TP site mutants in the linker region of Smad3 (CS2 Smad3-WT, CS2 Smad3 S204A, CS2 Smad3 S208A, and CS2 Smad3 T179V). The cells were allowed to differentiate for 4 days before fixation and immunostained with the Anti-MyHC antibody and Anti-Flag antibody.
