Stable landing pad U2OS cells expressing RAD51C variants were irradiated with 5 Gy (CellRad, Precision X-Ray) and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde 4 hours postirradiation. Cells were incubated for 1 hour with anti-RAD51 (polyclonal; Bioacademia #70–001) and anti-geminin (monoclonal; Abcam #ab104306) antibodies (32 (link)), and secondary antibodies [Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #A-11008) and Alexa Fluor 647 goat anti-mouse (Thermo Fisher Scientific #A-21235)] and stained with DAPI. Z-stack microscopy images from a 50x water immersion objective were automatically acquired for 1,000 geminin-positive (S/G2 phase) cells per variant in a Cell discoverer 7 instrument (Zeiss). Images were processed and analyzed using ZEN (blue edition) Celldiscoverer 3.2 (Zeiss) software. Each RAD51C variant was assessed in triplicate, unless denoted otherwise.

Cells were treated with DMSO or 10 μmol/L rucaparib for 24, 48, or 72 hours. Cells were fixed with either 4% paraformaldehyde or methanol, permeabilized with 0.2% TritonX-100, blocked with blocking buffer (1% BSA, 2% FCS or 1% BSA, 3% milk, 2% goat serum in PBS) and incubated with rabbit anti-RAD51 (ab133534 1:250; ab11055 1:400; Abcam) and either mouse anti-Geminin (ab104306 1:100; Abcam) or mouse anti-γH2AX (ab26350 1:400; Abcam) antibodies. For RAD51 foci formation with geminin staining, anti-rabbit 647, and anti-mouse 546 Alexa Fluor secondary antibodies (1:800; Invitrogen Molecular Probes) were used. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (NucBlue Live ReadyProbes Reagent; Ther-mofisher Scientific). Cells were imaged using an LSM 780 inverse laser scanning microscope (Zeiss) and captured with a LSM T-PMT detector (Zeiss). At least 194 cells from four fields of view and two independent experiments were counted. Cells with ≥5 RAD51 foci/nucleus were scored using CellProfiler (version 2.2.0, Broad Institute). For RAD51 and γH2AX foci formation assay, anti-rabbit 488 and anti-mouse 594 Alexa Fluor secondary antibodies (A32731 1:500; A-11032 1:500; Invitrogen Molecular Probes) were used. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Sigma). Cells were imaged using Leica DM 1000 LED at 40×.

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.
