Wild type DT40 cells were incubated with media containing BrdU (100 μM) for 20 h to fully label genomic DNA and then treated with the indicated dose of γ-rays. Alkaline comet tail moments of anti-BrdU stained DNA were quantified under the same electrophoretic and experimental conditions as those applied in BrdU pulse-labelled cells in . The average (±SD) of the median comet tail moments from 2 independent experiments (50 cells per sample per experiment) are plotted. The average fragment size of single-stranded DNA following the indicated γ-ray dose is indicated, calculated on the assumption that each Gy induces ~1100 total DNA breaks (~1000 SSBs & ~50 DSBs) – per diploid human genome (12×10 9 nucleotides) and thus ~1 break every 1×10 7 nucleotides. Notice that the BrdU alkaline tail moments are insensitive to average fragment sizes below 500 kb, perhaps because fragments below this size are ‘lost’ from the assay during alkaline lysis and/or electrophoresis.

(B) CldU tract-lengths in dual-labelled DNA fibres were measured in 3 independent experiments (>65 fibres per sample per experiment) and the distributions of CldU fork speeds (calculated assuming a constant stretching factor of 2kb/μm) are presented as scatter plots. Bars depict the median and interquartile range. Individual data points from the three experimental repeats are plotted separately in Figure S3A and statistical analysis was conducted by 2-way ANOVA (mixed effects model) with Tukey’s post hoc multiple comparisons test. (C) IdU fork speeds in dual-labelled DNA fibres scored and analysed as in panel B. Individual data points from the three experimental repeats are plotted separately in Figure S3B. (D) The ratio of IdU and CldU tract lengths in dual-labelled fibres, presented as distributions in scatter plots and analysed as in panel B. Individual data points from the three experimental repeats are plotted separately in Figure S3C. For all panels; ns, not significant; ****p<0.0001.

    (A) PARP activity in wild type (WT) and FEN1 −/− U2OS cells (clones #15, #6, #16), incubated with or without PARG inhibitor (10 μM) for 30 min, measured by anti-ADP-ribose (MAR/PAR) (CST 83732) immunofluorescence in detergent extracted cells. Representative microscopy images (WT and FEN1 −/− clone #15 only) are shown left , and ScanR quantification (WT and all FEN1 −/− clones) is shown right . S phase cells were distinguished by positive PCNA staining and G1/G2 cells (PCNA-negative) by DNA content (measured with DAPI). Data represent the mean (±SD) total intensity of MAR/PAR (in arbitrary units (AU)) from 5 independent experiments with individual data points plotted. Statistical significance was assessed by 1-way ANOVA with post-hoc Sidak’s multiple comparisons test. (B) Physical proximity of newly incorporated EdU and ADP-ribose (MAR/PAR; CST 83732) in wild type (WT) and FEN1 −/− U2OS cells, measured following pulse labelling for 10 min and during a subsequent 30 min thymidine (THM) chase by PLA, as indicated in the schematic. Sampled cells were pre-extracted and fixed using PFA. PLA was measured using anti-biotin antibodies to detect biotin-azide clicked to EdU and anti-ADP-ribose antibodies to detect sites of PARP activity. Representative ScanR image galleries ( left , each box is a single cell) and quantification ( right ) are shown. Total PLA intensity in PCNA positive cells was normalized to that in wild type U2OS cells immediately after EdU pulse. Data represent mean (±SD) from 3-4 independent experiments with individual data points plotted. Statistical significance was assessed by 1-way ANOVA with post-hoc Sidak’s multiple comparisons test. (C) Quantification of ADP-ribose and EdU levels following pulse labelling and during the thymidine chase. Cells were treated and fixed as in panel A and EdU and ADP-ribose intensities were determined by ScanR in PCNA positive cells. Data represent mean (±SD) from 3-4 independent experiments with individual data points plotted. Statistical significance was assessed by 1-way ANOVA with post-hoc Sidak’s multiple comparisons test.
