Fig. 3. ARH3-defective cells accumulate endogenous mono(ADP-ribosylated) histones.

a Endogenous levels of ADP-ribosylation were analysed by indirect immunofluorescence in wild-type and ARH3−/− U2OS cells by detergent pre-extraction prior to fixation and staining with anti-mono-ADP-ribose binding reagent, anti-poly-ADP-ribose antibody, anti-poly-ADP-ribose binding reagent (br), and anti-PAN-ADP-ribose binding reagent. Representative ScanR images (left) and quantification (right) are shown. b Endogenous chromatin ADP-ribosylation in control and patient fibroblasts measured after detergent pre-extraction and staining with anti-PAN-ADP-ribose binding reagent or anti-poly-ADP-ribose antibody. Quantification (right) and representative images (left) are shown; scale bar, 10 μM. Quantification for a and b was done by using ScanR software. Data are the mean ± SEM of n = 5 for a and n = 3 for (b) biologically independent experiments. Statistical analysis (two-tailed t-test) is indicated (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ns not significant). c Endogenous ADP-ribosylation in control, ARH3 patient and XRCC1 patient fibroblasts was detected by western blotting using anti-PAN-ADP-ribose binding reagent or anti-poly-ADP-ribose antibody. The arrow denotes mono(ADP-ribosylated) histones and the black asterisk is a nonspecific band. d Endogenous ADP-ribosylation in wild-type, PARP1/− and ARH3−/− U2OS cells was detected by western blotting using anti-PAN-ADP-ribose binding reagent, anti-poly-ADP-ribose antibody, or anti-mono-ADP-ribose binding reagent. Arrows and the black asterisk are as above, and the red asterisk denotes poly(ADP-ribosylated) proteins (most likely ribosylated PARP1) not bound to chromatin.
