PAR-dependent chromatin remodeling leads to an increase in the association rates of DNA-binding domains at sites of DNA damage. (A) Representative image of a nucleus in which the FCS measurements are performed to assess the local dynamics of GFP-BZIP before (pre) and after (post) DNA-damage induction. Microirradiation area is highlighted with green arrowheads. FCS measurement points are shown in blue. Images are pseudocolored according to the look-up table displayed on the right. Scale bar = 4 μm. (B) Inline graphic ratios estimated from FCS curves fitted with an effective diffusion model pre- and ∼1–2 min after (post) DNA damage induction in the presence or absence of PARP inhibitor (PARPi) for GFP-BZIP. (C) Inline graphic ratios estimated from FCS curves fitted with an effective diffusion model pre- and ∼1–2 min after (post) DNA damage induction for GFP-LANA-1–32. (D) Normalized FCS correlation curves obtained for GFP-BZIP in undamaged nuclei. The experimental curve (continuous black line) is fitted with an effective-diffusion model (dotted black line) or a reaction-dominant model (dotted red line). (E and F) Association (k′on) and dissociation rates (koff) measured by FCS for GFP-BZIP pre- and post-DNA damage and in untreated cells or cells treated with PARP inhibitor (PARPi).
