Bethyl rnf8

RNF168 is recruited to DNA replication and DSB via separable mechanisms. ( A ) U2OS cells were transiently co-transfected with expression constructs encoding HA-PCNA and FLAG-RNF168 WT or FLAG-RNF168 ΔMIU2. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, cells were treated conditionally with 2 mM HU or with 10 Gy IR. Cells were fixed 2 h following HU or 30 min following IR treatments, then stained with anti-HA and anti-FLAG antibodies prior to analysis by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. Panel ( A ) shows images of representative HA-PCNA and FLAG-RNF168 co-expressing cells from all experimental conditions. ( B ) Bar chart showing enumeration of cells containing HA-PCNA-co-localizing FLAG-RNF168 foci. Each data point represents the mean of results from three separate experiments and the error-bars represent the standard deviation. ( C ) U2OS cells were transiently co-transfected with constructs encoding FLAG-RNF168 WT or <t>FLAG-RNF8</t> WT. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, cells were treated conditionally with 2 mM HU. Cells were fixed 2 h following HU or treatments, then stained with anti-HA and anti-PCNA antibodies prior to analysis by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The individual images are of representative cells. Cells transfected with FLAG-RNF168 plasmids co-expressed both PCNA and RNF168 proteins. Unexpectedly, however, in cultures co-transfected with FLAG-RNF8 plasmid, immunoreactivity with anti-PCNA and anti-FLAG antibodies was mutually exclusive (suggesting that FLAG-RNF8 is not expressed at detectable levels in PCNA-positive S-phase cells). ( D ) U2OS cells were transiently transfected with constructs encoding FLAG-RNF168 WT or FLAG-RNF8 WT. Twenty-four hours post-transfection, cells were treated conditionally with 300 ng/ml NCS. Cells were fixed 1 h following NCS or treatments, then stained with anti-FLAG and anti-γH2AX antibodies prior to analysis by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The individual images are of representative cells showing that both RNF8 and RNF168 co-localize with γH2AX. ( E ) Parental RNF8 +/+ U2OS cells, RNF8 −/− U2OS cells or RNF8 −/− cells transiently transfected with an RNF8 expression plasmid (for 24 h) were treated with 300 ng/ml NCS. One hour after NCS treatment, cells were fixed and stained with 53BP1 antibodies prior to analysis by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The individual images are of representative cells showing RNF8-dependency of 53BP1 focus formation. ( F ) RNF8 +/+ cells or RNF8 −/− derivatives were transiently transfected with an RNF168 expression plasmid. Twenty-four hours post-transfection, cells were pulse-labeled with 10 mM EdU for 1 h to label sites of ongoing DNA synthesis. Cells were fixed and stained with antibodies against EdU and FLAG prior to analysis by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The individual images are of representative cells showing RNF8-independent co-localization of RNF168 and EdU. ( G ) Bar chart showing enumeration of cells containing EdU-co-localizing FLAG-RNF168 foci in RNF8 +/+ and RNF8 −/− cells. Each data point represents the mean of results from three separate experiments and the error-bars represent the standard deviation. Unpaired Student’s t -test demonstrated no statistically significant co-localization between RNF8 and EdU incorporation ( P = 0.5867).

Figure Legend Snippet: RNF168 contains a DPIP domain. ( A ) Domain organization of RNF168 indicating key functional domains and a degenerate PIP-like sequence residing in a disordered C-terminal region. The protein disorder profile was generated using the Protein Disorder Prediction (PrDOS) tool at http://prdos.hgc.jp/cgi-bin/top.cgi . ( B ) AlphaFold model of the PCNA–RNF168 DPIP complex reveals a similar binding model to that of the PCNA-Pol Kappa PIP complex. Left panel shows the top predicted model of the trimeric PCNA–RNF168 DPIP complex. Right panel shows the overlay of the AlphaFold model of the trimeric PCNA–RNF168 DPIP complex with the crystal structure of the trimeric PCNA-Polκ PIP (PDB: 2zvl), with the PCNA and Polk PIP in the crystal structure colored in cyan and yellow, respectively. ( C ) H1299 cells were transiently co-transfected with expression constructs encoding HA-PCNA and FLAG-RNF168 WT or FLAG-RNF168 ΔDPIP. Forty-eight hours post-transfection cells were fixed, then stained with anti-HA and anti-FLAG antibodies prior to analysis by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The photographs are of representative cells co-expressing HA-PCNA and WT or ΔDPIP forms of FLAG-RNF168. The bar chart shows enumeration of cells containing HA-PCNA-co-localizing FLAG-RNF168 foci. Each data point represents the mean of results from three separate experiments and the error-bars represent the standard deviation. ( D ) RNF168 −/− U2OS cells were infected with adenoviral vectors encoding FLAG-RNF168 WT or FLAG-RNF168 ΔDPIP. Twenty-four hours post-infection cells were fixed and subject to PLA to compare proximities of WT and ΔDPIP RNF168 with endogenous PCNA. The photographs are of representative DAPI-stained nuclei from each experimental condition. The immunoblots show levels of ectopically expressed WT and ΔPIP RNF168 in this experiment. The bar chart showing enumeration of cells containing eight or more PCNA / FLAG-RNF168 PLA foci. Each data point represents the mean of results from three separate experiments and the error-bars represent the standard deviation. Ordinary one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated statistically significant difference between RNF168 WT and PIP ( P = 0.0049). ( E ) Replicate plates of H1299 cells were co-infected with adenovirus vectors encoding HA-PCNA and RNF168 WT or RNF168 ΔDPIP. Twenty-four hours post infection, some cultures were treated with HU (2 mM, 2 h), camptothecin (CPT, 100 nM, 2 h), ATM inhibitor KU55933 100 nM, 2 h) or the WEE1 inhibitor MK1775 (10 μM, 2 h). Chromatin extracts from the treated and untreated (control) cells were normalized for protein content and immunoprecipitated with anti-HA antibodies. Anti-HA immunoprecipitates were resolved on SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose and analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. ( F ) Replicate plates of RNF8 −/− U2OS cells were transiently infected with adenovirus vectors encoding FLAG-RNF168 WT, FLAG-RNF168 ΔDPIP or FLAG-RNF168 ΔMIU2, or with a control ‘empty’ adenoviral vector. Forty-eight hours post-infection chromatin extracts were prepared, normalized for protein content and immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG antibodies. Anti-FLAG immunoprecipitates were resolved on SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose and analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies.
