Cells were harvested in PBS and lysed for 30 min on ice in IP lysis buffer (200 mM NaCl, 0.75% Chaps, 50 mM Tris pH 8.0) or RIPA buffer (10 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.0) 1 mM EDTA. 1% Triton X-100. 0.1% sodium deoxycholate. 0.1% SDS. 140 mM NaCl) (Hall et al., 2014 (link)), supplemented with protease inhibitors. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation (13,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C) and the supernatants were collected. Protein samples were quantified with the Bradford assay and resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred onto PVDF, and probed using the indicated primary antibodies. The membrane was stained with Alexa Fluor 680 or 800 anti-mouse/rabbit secondary antibody (Life Technologies) and visualized with the Licor Odyssey system. The following antibodies were used for staining: GAPDH (Santa Cruz, sc-47724); Flag (Santa Cruz, sc-51590); GFP (Abcam, Ab6556); HA (Sigma, H9658), RPA70 (Cell Signaling, 2267), RPA32 (Santa Cruz, sc-14692), SAMHD1 (Origene, TA502024), CtIP (14-1, a generous gift from Richard Baer) (Yu and Baer, 2000 (link)), BRCA2, RAD51 (Calbiochem, PC130), γH2AX (Cell Signaling, 2577 or Millipore, 05-636), 53BP1 (Bethyl, A300-273A), BrdU (BD Biosciences, 347580), MRE11 (Abcam, ab30725).

Western Blot Analysis of DNA Repair Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole cell extracts and the protein concentration measurements for western blotting were performed as described previously (51 (link)). Equal amounts of protein were separated on NuPAGE Tris-Acetate or Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen) and transferred to a PVDF membrane (0.45 μm pore size) (Invitrogen). After blocking, the membranes were incubated with appropriate primary antibodies at 4°C overnight followed by secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 h. Imaging of protein was performed by the BIO-RAD ChemiDoc Imaging sytem.
Primary antibodies used for western blotting are listed below:
BRCA2 (Santa Cruz, sc-28235); BRCA1 (Calbiochem, OP92); RAD51 (Santa Cruz, sc-8349); CtIP (GeneTex 19E8); MRE11 (Abcam, ab33125); RPA32 (Abcam, 2175); Tubulin (Sigma, T5168). All secondary antibodies were purchased from Invitrogen.

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.
