HPF1-dependent PARP activation promotes alternative Okazaki fragment ligation. (A) Mock-, xLIG1-, xPARP1- and xLIG1/xPARP1-depleted extracts were used for replication of sperm nuclei. Chromatin-bound proteins were analyzed by immunoblotting using indicated antibodies (n = 2). (B) Mock-, xLIG1-, xHPF1- and xLIG1/xHPF1-depleted extracts were used for replication of sperm nuclei. Chromatin-bound proteins were analyzed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies (n = 2). (C) xLIG1-, xLIG1/xXRCC1-, xLIG1/xPARP1- or xLIG1/xHPF1-depleted extracts were used to replicate sperm chromatin. Genomic DNA was purified and labeled using exonuclease-deficient Klenow fragments and α-32P dCTP. Samples were separated in a denaturing agarose gel, and the incorporation of radioactivity was monitored by autoradiography (n = 3). (D) Replication products in mock-, xLIG1-, xLIG1/xXRCC1-, xPARP1-, xLIG1/xPARP1-, xHPF1- or xLIG1/xHPF1-depleted extracts were separated by alkaline agarose gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography (n = 4).
