For staining lacO tags, lentivirally infected U2OS-lacO/GFPLacI cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 10 min at room temperature (RT), permeabilized in 0.5% NP40/PBS buffer for 10 min at RT, blocked in 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS, and incubated with rabbit anti-GFP (1:500) (Abcam, 290). For staining RAD51 foci, lentivirally infected U2OS cells were permeabilized in Triton X-100 buffer (0.5% Triton X-100, 20 mM Hepes-KOH at pH 7.9, 50 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 300 mM sucrose) for 5 min at RT and fixed in 3% paraformaldehyde (in PBS, 2% sucrose) for 10 min at RT, followed by permeabilization in Triton X-100 buffer for 10 min RT. Cells were blocked in 1% BSA/PBS, followed by incubation with rabbit anti-RAD51 (4 μg/ml) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 8349). Primary antibodies were detected with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit antibodies (1:100) (Jackson Laboratories). DNA was stained with DAPI (0.2 μg/ml) to score micronuclei.

Western blottin was performed to check Rad51 levels in NRY1, NRY2, and TSY17 strains. Protein samples were loaded on an SDS polyacrylamide gel. A polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane was used for the transfer as described earlier (39 (link)). The primary antibodies used were mouse anti-Act1 (Abcam), rabbit anti-Rad51 (Santa Cruz), and mouse anti-Hsp82 (Calbiochem) at 1:5,000 dilutions. For subcellular fractionation, we used anti-Pgk1 antibody (Novus Biologicals) and mouse anti-Nsp1 antibody (Abcam) at 1:3,000 and 1:5,000 dilutions, respectively. For secondary antibodies, horseradish peroxide-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (Promega) and anti-mouse antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., CA, USA) were used at 1:10,000 dilutions. The Western blots were developed using a chemiluminescent detection system (Pierce). Every experiment was repeated at least 3 times, and band intensities were quantified by using Image J software. Mean relative densities were plotted using GraphPad prism.

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.
