Figure Lengend Snippet: SKIV2L regulates telomeric DNA-RNA hybrids in cellulo to prevent telomere fragility (A) Proximity ligation assay (PLA) showing co-localization of SKIV2L and TRF2 in asynchronous (AS) and in G2-synchronized HeLa1.3 cells with and without RNase H1 (RNH1) overexpression (median, Q1 and Q3, at least 600 cells scored per condition, 4 independent experiments, scale bar 10 μm). Mann-Whitney U test ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. (B) S9.6 IF in HeLa1.3 cells treated with RNAse III, with and without RNase H1 (RNH1) overexpression (median ± interquartile range, 360 cells scored per condition, 4 independent experiments, scale bar, 10 μm). Mann-Whitney U test ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. (C) PLA showing the co-localization of DNA-RNA hybrids (S9.6) and TRF2 in HeLa1.3 cells pre-extracted and treated with RNAse III (median, Q1 and Q3, at least 400 cells scored per condition, 2 independent experiments, scale bar 10 μm). Mann-Whitney U test ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. (D) DRIP showing the levels of DNA-RNA hybrids at telomeres in AS and G2-synchronized HeLa1.3 cells, RNH, RNase H treatment (means ± SEM, n = 4). (E) DRIP-qPCR assay of G2-synchronized HEK293 cells overexpressing GFP or SKIV2L at 10q, 13q, 20q, and 22q subtelomeric regions. RNH, RNase H treatment (means ± SEM, n = 5). Percent input values were normalized to the GFP overexpressing condition. (F) Model proposing the function of hSKI at telomeres. Telomeric DNA-RNA hybrid accumulation in late S/G2 phase drives hSKI recruitment to telomeres to regulate physiological DNA-RNA hybrid levels, prevent telomere replication stress and ensure telomere stability.

Article Snippet: For S9.6-TRF2 PLA, cells were blocked for 3 h (1 h at 37°C and 2 h at 4°C) in blocking buffer (BSA 2% (w/v) in PBS), incubated with the mouse anti-DNA-RNA hybrid S9.6 antibody (1/2000, Kerafast ENH001) and rabbit anti-TRF2 antibody (1/1000, Novus NB110-57130) in blocking buffer overnight at 4°C followed by 3 washes with PBS-Tween 0.1% (v/v).
