Figure S1. Cell-cycle distribution of C2C12 myoblasts 12 h and 24 h after serum starvation. C2C12 myoblasts were induced to differentiate by serum starvation, and the fractions of cells in G1, S and G2/M were determined by FACS after staining with propidium iodide.

Figure S2. MyoD activates the MAGED1 promoter in a dose-dependent manner. Increasing amounts of MyoD expression plasmid pEMSV-MyoD were cotransfected with pMAGED1-531+80-luc in 3T3 fibroblasts. Luc activity was measured 48 h after transfection. Results are presented as relative Luc activities with respect to the activity of pMAGED1-531+80-luc in absence of MyoD.

Figure S3. Maged1 knockout myoblasts express normal levels of MyoD, MyoG and Mef2C. Wild-type and Maged1 knockout primary myoblasts were induced to differentiate by serum starvation. MyoD, MyoG and Mef2C RNA levels were quantified using qRT-PCR. GAPDH RNA was used for normalization. Data are presented as the ratio relative to the RNA levels of each analyzed gene in wild-type cells at the time of serum starvation (t = 0 h).
