From: HP1β-dependent recruitment of UBF1 to irradiated chromatin occurs simultaneously with CPDs

UBF1/2 recruitment to DNA lesions in G1 and G2 cell-cycle phases and involvement in DNA repair pathways. (A) Recruitment of endogenous UBF1/2 (black-and-white mode) to locally induced DNA lesions (yellow frames) in a HeLa-Fucci cellular model was observed in both G1 (red, expression of RFP-cdt1) and G2 (green, expression of GFP-Geminin) cell cycle phases. (B) CPDs (green) induced by a 355-nm UVA laser with BrdU pre-sensitization. Nuclei of live cells (LCI) were visualized by transmited light microscopy (grey) and nuclei of fixed cells were stained with DAPI (blue). (C) Cells were irradiated by a 355-nm UVA laser without BrdU pre-sensitization, and (Ca) GFP-UBF1 (green) and CPDs (red) appeared in regions of interest. When cells were irradiated by a 405-nm UVA laser, (Cb) CPDs (red) were not detected in regions of interest. (Cc) GFP-UBF1 (green) was not recruited to regions of interest after irradiation by a 405-nm UVA laser, but 53BP1 (red) accumulated at irradiated regions of interest (yellow). For each event, 10 nuclei were analyzed in three independent experiments. IF, immunofluorescence; LCI, live-cell image.
