Expression of a phosphomimic CHK1 mutant restores wild-type levels of nascent ssDNA in WRN exonuclease-deficient cells. (A) WB analysis of FLAG-CHK1WT and FLAG-CHK1S317/345D expression in WSE84A cells. (B) Evaluation of nascent ssDNA formation. Cells treated with 50nM CPT for 4 h were analyzed for the presence of nascent ssDNA by native anti-IdU detection. The graph shows the mean intensity of IdU fluorescence measured from two independent experiments (n = 200), data are presented as mean ± SE. Statistical analysis was performed by the Mann–Whitney test (*P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001). Representative images are shown.
