Fig. 4. DDB2 binds sparse telomeric 8-oxoG independently of the DDB1-Cul4A-RBX1 E3 ligase.
a Representative images showing recruitment of DDB2-mCherry to telomeric 8-oxoG in cells transfected with control, DDB1 or Cul4A siRNA. b Quantification of a. c, e DDB2-mCherry and GFP-DDB1 (c) or DDB2-mCherry and GFP-Cul4A (e) accumulation at 8-oxoG sites after dye (100 nM, 15 min) plus light (660 nm, 10 min) treatment. d, f Quantification of c and e respectively. g Western blot for DDB2 in U2OS-FAP-TRF1 cells treated with UVC, potassium bromate (KBrO3) or dye plus light at indicated doses. Independent experiments are represented by black circles. h Colocalization of DDB2-mCherry and GFP-Cul4A at damaged telomeres in U2OS-FAP-TRF1 cells transfected with control or OGG1 siRNA. i Quantification of h. Data (a–h) represents mean ± SEM from two independent experiments. ‘n’ represents the number of cells scored for each condition. One-way ANOVA (Sidak multiple comparison test) (b, i) was performed for statistical analysis: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ns Not significant. Scale: 5 µm.
