Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A , B ) p53 WT, along with DREAM complex members, bind to BLM promoter. (Left) Input for DNA affinity assay. Nuclear extracts were isolated from asynchronously growing ( A ) HCT116 WT, HCT116 p53−/−, HCT116 p21−/− cells, ( B ) HT1080 WT, HT1080 p53−/−, HT1080 p21−/− cells. Western blots were carried out with the indicated antibodies. (Right) DNA affinity assay was carried out using a biotinylated probe encompassing the 640 bp BLM minimal promoter as the “bait” and the nuclear extracts from ( A ) HCT116 p53 WT, HCT116 p53−/−, HCT116 p21−/− cells, ( B ) HT1080 WT, HT1080 p53−/−, HT1080 p21−/− cells as the “prey”. Immunoblotting was performed using the indicated antibodies. Three biological replicates were carried out, and the same result was obtained. ( C ) Binding of p53 and DREAM complex members occur on the #2 E2F site in the BLM promoter. Same as ( A ), except the DNA affinity assay was carried out only in HCT116 p53 WT cells using a biotinylated probe encompassing either the 640 bp wild type BLM minimal promoter or BLM promoter where #2 E2F binding site is mutated. Three biological replicates were carried out and the same result was obtained. ( D ) Both p53 WT and p53 TAD mutant bind to BLM promoter. Same as ( A ) except the nuclear extracts were made from HCT116 p53−/− cells expressing p53 WT or p53 TAD mutant. Immunoblotting was performed using the indicated antibodies. Three biological replicates were carried out and the same result was obtained. ( E – G ). p107/p130 interact with p53 in cells even in the absence of p21. ( E ) Lysates were made from HCT116 WT, HCT116 p53−/−, HCT116 p21−/− cells. Immunoblotting was carried out with the indicated antibodies. ( F , G ) Immunoprecipitation was carried out with antibodies against either (F) p107 or (G) p130. Immunoprecipitates were probed with the indicated antibodies. Three biological replicates were carried out and the same result was obtained. ( H – J ) p107/p130 interact with both p53 WT and p53 TAD mutant irrespective of their phosphorylation status. ( H ) Lysates were made from inducible stable lines generated in HCT116 p53−/− cells expressing either the vector, Flag-tagged p53 WT or Flag-tagged p53 TAD mutant grown in the presence of Doxycycline. Immunoblotting was carried out with the indicated antibodies ( I , J ) Immunoprecipitation was carried out with ( I ) anti-p107 or ( J ) p130 antibodies, and immunoprecipitates were probed with the indicated antibodies. Three biological replicates were carried out, and the same result was obtained. ( K ) E2F4 and p53 are co-recruited onto the BLM promoter in the absence of p21. Re-ChIP assay was carried out using HCT116 p53 WT, HCT116 p53−/−, HCT116 p21−/− cells using anti-E2F4 as the 1 st antibody and anti-p53 as the 2 nd antibody. Co-recruitment of E2F4 and p53 on the #2 E2F site on the BLM promoter was determined by ChIP-qPCR analysis. E2F4-p53 co-recruitment to the GAPDH promoter was used as a control. Mean ± SD. The data is from three biological replicates. ( L ) E2F4 and p53 are co-recruited onto the BLM promoter in cells expressing either p53 WT or p53 TAD mutant. Similar to ( K ), recruitment of E2F4 and p53 to the #2 E2F site on BLM promoter was determined in the indicated stable lines grown in the presence of Doxycycline. Mean ± SD. The data is from three biological replicates. .
