All data show mean ± SEM (n=3). (B) HeLa (i) EV, (ii) RAD54L KO, (iii) RAD51AP1 KO and (iv) RAD54B KO cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs, and γH2AX foci were enumerated after treatment with 1 µM olaparib for 24 h in EdU-negative G2 cells. Spontaneous foci were subtracted. All data show mean ± SEM (n = 2-3). Results from individual experiments, each derived from 40 cells, are indicated. (C) HeLa pGC reporter cells carry a GFP cassette that is disrupted by the I-SceI sequence and a second truncated GFP cassette (left). I-SceI-induced HR repair events result in the expression of functional GFP.
