Western blot analysis was performed as described previously (16 (link)). Briefly, cells were suspended in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0), 420 mM NaCl, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% Sodium dodecyl sulfate, 1% NP-40) and sonicated. The extract was incubated for 30 min on ice, and then incubated at 95°C for 5 min. The extract was loaded and run on SDS-PAGE gel as standard protocols. For histone proteins, intensity was analyzed by OdysseyR CLx Imagins System(LI-COR). Anti-lamin B1 (12987-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-lamin A/C (3A6-4C11, Diagenode), anti-H2Aub (D27C4), anti-Ring1B (monoclonal antibody kindly gifted from Dr Koseki, RIKEN), anti-Ring1A (#2820, CST) were used.
