The total protein of the extracted cells was lysed in ice-cold cell lysis buffer (NEB) containing 1 mM PMSF and 1:100 protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma). The lysate was pre-cleared with 15 × l protein A Sepharose 4B beads (Sigma) at 4°C for 30 min. NE-PERTM Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 78833) were used to extract nucleoprotein from cells. The BCA protein assy (Pierce, Rockford, IL, United States) and Western Blot procedures were performed as described previously (Ruiz et al., 2019 (link)). Antibodies used included Anti-beta Actin antibody (1:50000, Abcam, ab49900), Anti-gamma H2A.X (phospho S139) antibody (1:1000, Abcam, ab2893), PARP-1 antibody (F-2) (1: 500, Santa Cruz, sc-8007), Cdc2 p34 antibody (17) (1:500, Santa Cruz, sc-54), BRCA1 antibody (D-9) (1:500, Santa Cruz, sc-6954), Phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) Antibody (1:1000, Cellsignal, #9111), Phospho-BRCA1 (Ser1497) Polyclonal Antibody (1:1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, # PA5-64621), Rad51 Antibody (G-5) (1:500, Santa Cruz, sc-133089), XRCC1 (1:1000, Abcam, ab44830), and Lamin B1 (1: 20000, Proteintech, 66095-1-Ig).
