Figure Lengend Snippet: Lig4 depletion does not increase Chk1 or Chk2 phosphorylation or dephosphorylation. pChk1 (Ser317 or Ser345), pChk2 (Thr68), total Chk1, or total Chk2 were assessed via western blot. The experiment was repeated three times. (a, c) Lig4 depleted or scrambled control treated (NT) cells were treated with 10 mM hydroxyurea or PBS for 1 or 24 hr. (b, d) Lig4 depleted or NT cells were treated with 10 mM HU or PBS for 1 hr and released for indicated times.
Article Snippet: The following primary antibodies were used: Lig4, DNA-PKcs and pDNA-PKcs S2056 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), β -actin and Vinculin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) and GAPDH, cleaved caspase 3, caspase 9, β -tubulin, pChk1-S317, pChk1-S345, total Chk1, pChk2-T68, or total Chk2 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA).
Techniques: De-Phosphorylation Assay, Western Blot
