Total cell and nuclear protein extracts were obtained by RIPA extraction buffer MERK, R0278) or using a
Nuclear/Cytosolic Fractionation Kit (Biovision, K266-100) and protein concentration was determined using a
Bradford Reagent (B6916, Sigma Aldrich). Forty micrograms of nuclear extracts were separated in 4–12% SDS-PAGE gels (NuPAGE Invitrogen) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Amersham Protan). Blots were incubated with the indicated antibodies. Antibody binding was detected after incubation with a secondary antibody coupled to horseradish peroxidase using a chemiluminescence with
ECL detection kit (GE Healthcare). The primary antibodies used were rat monoclonal anti-POT1a (1:200, Clone name POP148C, CNIO homemade), rat monoclonal anti-TRF1 (1:500, Clone name 572C, CNIO homemade), rabbit polyclonal anti-nanog (1:1000, Cell Signaling, 8822), rabbit polyclonal
antiphospho-CHK1 (Ser345) (1:1000, Cell Signaling, 2348), mouse monoclonal anti-CHK1 (1:1000, Cell Signaling, 2360), rabbit polyclonal
anti-phosphoRPA32 (1:1000, Bethyl), A300-245A), rat monoclonal anti-RPA32 (1:1000, Cell Signalling, 2208) and rabbit polyclonal
anti-SMC1 (1:8000; Bethyl, A300-055A).
