Fig. 5

a Representative confocal images of HeLa EXD2+/+, EXD2−/− and EXD2−/− + EXD2WT-cl1 mock- or UV-irradiated (15 J/m2) and left to recover for an hour. Cells were labeled with anti-EXD2 and anti-FLAG and stained with MitoTracker. Images of the cells were obtained with the same microscopy system and constant acquisition parameters for a given labeling/staining. b EXD2+/+ cells were mock- or UV-irradiated (15 J/m2) and let to recover for 1 h. Cells were fractionated in mitochondria (Mito) and chromatin (Chro) fractions, which were resolved by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted against the indicated proteins. Molecular sizes are indicated (KDa). ATP5A is a marker of mitochondria. Histone H3 is a marker of chromatin. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. c EXD2−/−-cl1 or EXD2−/− + EXD2WT-cl1 cells were mock- or UV-irradiated (15 J/m2) and let to recover for the indicated period of time post-UV (RT). RNAPII was immunoprecipitated using anti-RPB1 from total extracts and protein were resolved by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted using anti-RPB1 or anti-EXD2 antibodies. HC antibody heavy chain, LC antibody light chain, RT recovery time. Molecular sizes are indicated (KDa). Source data are provided as a Source Data file. d. RNAPII was immunoprecipitated from chromatin fractions obtained in panel b, using anti-RPB1 in the presence of Benzonase. IP using IgG was performed as controls. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted using anti-RPB1 or anti-EXD2 antibodies. RT recovery time. Molecular sizes are indicated (KDa). Source data are provided as a Source Data file. e Purified RNAPII from HeLa cells39 was incubated with recombinant pulldown GST-EXD2WT. Following washes, fractions were resolved by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted against the indicated proteins. Controls IP was performed with GST alone (lane 4). Molecular sizes are indicated (KDa).
