NUDT5 is a key regulator of ADP-ribose metabolism. a Hydrolysis of potential oxidized nucleotides and nucleotide-sugar substrates by MTH1 (blue) and NUDT5 (red), as measured by the enzyme-coupled malachite green assay (MG assay), at pH 7.5. A representative experiment (of n = 2) with mean ± SD and individual values of quadruplicate replicates is shown. b Representative HPLC traces of NUDT5-mediated ADPR (red) and 8-oxo-dGDP (blue) hydrolysis to AMP or 8-oxo-dGMP, respectively (n = 2). c Top: Representative, pseudo-colored immunofluorescence stainings for γH2A.X, chromatin-bound RPA, and 53BP1 in U-2 OS cells following treatment with negative control siRNA (siNeg) or NUDT5 siRNA (siNUDT5 #1, siNUDT5 #7) for 72 h. Scale bar = 20 µm. Bottom: Quantification of γH2A.X, chromatin-bound RPA, and 53BP1 staining intensity in cells representing three independent experiments (cells scored: γH2A.X, n = 871; RPA, n = 463; 53BP1, n = 981). Lines represent median fluorescence (and interquartile range for 53BP1); a.u. arbitrary units. NS not significant, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001; Kruskal-Wallis test). d Top: Representative, pseudo-colored images of treated U-2 OS cells following the modified alkaline comet assay and confirmation of NUDT5 knockdown with a cropped western blot. Scale bar = 50 µm. Bottom: Quantification of the tail moment (relative to the DMSO+siNeg, buffer-treated control) from two independent experiments performed in duplicate (minimum of 100 cells per slide per condition). Buffer-treated samples are shown in blue, OGG1-treated samples in red. Lines represent median tail moments. ****p < 0.0001 by Kruskal–Wallis test comparing OGG1-treated samples. e A graphical procedure depicting the analysis of ADPR hydrolysis in cell lysates by HPLC. f ADP-ribose hydrolysis in U-2 OS cells alone (black, solid and dotted), following depletion with two different NUDT5 siRNAs (blue, solid and dotted) or siRNA-treated cells complemented with purified NUDT5 protein (red, solid and dotted), as quantified by HPLC. A representative chromatogram is shown (of n = 2 independent experiments) and NUDT5 knockdown confirmation with cropped western blot
