Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2. The small region of RECQL4 sufficient for rapid recruitment to DSB sites directly interacts with PAR. (A) Schematic diagram of truncated RECQL4 proteins and their binding to laser-induced DSB sites and graphs. NLS: the nuclear localization signal sequence of Simian virus 40. Data in graphs are means SEM; n = 15, from three independent experiments. (B) Recruitment of the region of RECQL4 (aa 360–437) to DSB sites was determined in cells treated with a PARP inhibitor (olaparib) or a PARG inhibitor (PDD000172273). The scale bar represents 10 lm. Data in graphs are means SEM; n = 15, from three independent experiments. (C) Co-precipitation of RECQL4 proteins by PAR immunoprecipitation (IP) in cells treated as indicated. Anti-PAR antibodies were used in IP, and 10% of the extract for IP was used in input lanes. Bleo, bleomycin; (), untreated. (D) GST and GAT-RECQL4360–437 (GST-R4360–437) proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli cells and purified. (E) The PAR polymer (20 pmol) was incubated with the indicated amount of GST or GST-R4360–437 protein, and GST pull- down assays were carried out. For PAR control, the indicated amount of PAR polymer was directly immobilized onto a nylon membrane. Immunoblotting was carried out with an anti-PAR antibody. (F) For the PAR pull-down assay, 30 pmol of biotin-labeled PAR polymer was incubated with 30 pmol of GST or GST-R4360–437 protein and streptavidin beads. Western blotting was carried out with an anti-GST antibody. In the input lanes, 25% of input materials were used. (C, E, F) These experiments were conducted more than once and the results of a single experiment are shown.
