After transfection of the indicated constructs or siRNAs, HeLa cells stably expressing NLS-BirA and Avi-H2AX were treated with 2 μg ml−1 of biotin (Sigma) overnight, and then collected 1 h after 10 Gy IR. For endogenous USP1 ubiquitination assay or the interaction between Cdh1 and Emi1, HeLa cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs and various expression constructs. The transfected cells were synchronized with double thymidine block and released into fresh media for 6–8 h when they had reached S/G2 (the cell cycle progression was monitored with FACS analysis). In USP1 ubiquitination experiment, MG132 (10 μM) was added for 6 h during the release. The cells were then irradiated with 10 Gy and collected 1 h after the irradiation. The collected cells were lysed in 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, 6 M Urea and 0.5% SDS (lysis buffer) plus phosphatase (GenDEPOT) and protease inhibitors (Roche) as well as 50 μM PR-619 (a pan-DUB inhibitor, Millipore). After sonication, the supernatants were diluted in lysis buffer without SDS and incubated with Streptavidin-Agarose Slurry (Thermo Scientific) or USP1 antibody-conjugated to protein G beads for 6 h at 4 °C. The agarose beads were then spun down, washed with the lysis buffer (without SDS), and prepared for Western blot analysis.

In order to accumulate SUMOylated proteins, cells were treated with 10 μM MG-132 (Sigma) dissolved in DMSO for 7 hours, treated with 20 μM PR-619 (Millipore) dissolved in DMSO for 7 hours, or incubated at 43°C for 1 hour (heat shock). For increasing acetylation of histones, Trichostatin A (TSA, Sigma) was used at a concentration of 150 nM or 600 nM for 18 hours 39 (link). In order to decrease acetylation of histones, curcumin (Sigma) was used at a concentration of 25 μM and 50 μM for 18 hours 39 (link). For transfection, cells were cultured in DMEM lacking penicillin and streptomycin. Transfections were performed using 2.5 μg of polyethylenimine (PEI) per 1 μg of plasmid DNA, using 1 μg of DNA per 1 million cells. Transfection reagents were mixed in 150 mM NaCl and incubated for 15 minutes before adding it directly to the cells. Cells were split after 24 hours and investigated after 48 hours. Lentiviruses were generated essentially as described previously 49 . Infections were performed with a multiplicity of infection of 2 and using a concentration of 8 μg per mL polybrene in the medium. 24 hours after infection the medium was replaced.

Proteasome and deubiquitination activity were inhibited in the most mature (largest) leaves of wild type and amiNAA10 plants by floating leaf discs (4 mm) on ½ × Hoagland medium supplemented with 50 μM of MG132 (Santa-Cruz Biotechnology) and 20 μM deubiquitinase inhibitor PR-619 (Sigma Aldrich) for 5 h. After incubation, samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen.

The resulting crude extract was clarified by centrifugation (30 min at 4 °C, 15000 g) and incubated with 40 µl beads (Ubi-Qapture Q matrix, Enzo life Sciences) overnight. The proteins were eluted from the matrix according to manufacturer’s instructions. Same volume of the different elution fractions was separated by SDS-PAGE and visualized by silver staining (GE Healthcare). The immunological detection was done with the antibody mono- and polyubiquitinylated conjugated to HRP (FK2, HRP conjugate, Enzo life Sciences) provided with the Ubi-Qapture Q kit.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
