RNPS1 overexpression suppresses HMW DNA fragmentation, G2 cell cycle arrest, and hypermutation phenotypes in ASF/SF2-depleted cells. (A) Overexpression of RNPS1 reduces HMW DNA fragmentation in ASF/SF2-depleted cells. DT40-ASF and DT40-ASF/S1 cells were grown in the absence (−) or presence (+) of 1 μg/mL tet for the indicated times. The integrity of chromosomal DNA was analyzed by 0.5% agarose gel electrophoresis (upper panel) and pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFEG) (lower panel). (B) Reversion of cell death in DT40-ASF cells and DT40-ASF/S1 cells after ASF/SF2 depletion. After a 2-d tet treatment, DT40-ASF and DT40-ASF/S1 cells were assayed for tet resistance, and the number of wells with surviving cells was determined. (C) Cell cycle phenotype of ASF/SF2-depleted cells. DT40-ASF and DT40-ASF/S1 cells, grown with or without 1 μg/mL tet for the indicated times, were stained with propidium iodide and analyzed by FACS. Raw data were quantitated and plotted, and the fraction of cells in G1, S, and G2/M phases are indicated.
