Loss of p21 enhances chromatin-binding and association between p300 and PCNA after DNA damage. (A) Western blot analysis of recruitment of p300, PCNA and p21 proteins in the chromatin-bound fraction. Human h-TERT–immortalized p21+/+ and p21−/− fibroblasts were irradiated with UV-C (10 J/m2), collected at the indicated time points (h) after UV irradiation, and fractionated as described in ‘Materials and Methods’ section. Actin was also determined as a loading control. (B) Western blot analysis of proteins remaining chromatin-bound 24 h after UV-irradiation in LF1 fibroblasts not transfected, or transfected with p21-specific or control (GFP) siRNA pools. (C) Immunoprecipitation (Ip) with anti-p300 or irrelevant antibody (Ig) was performed on extracts of chromatin-bound proteins from p21+/+ and p21−/− fibroblasts collected 0.5 or 24 h after UV irradiation. Input load: 1/15 of nuclear extracts.
