Article Title: The Fanconi Anaemia Components UBE2T and FANCM Are Functionally Linked to Nucleotide Excision Repair
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0036970
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) The two mechanistically different routes to resolve UV photolesions: Translesion synthesis (TLS) and Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER). ( B, C , E, and F ) Cellular viability after exposure to increasing UV doses was determined for the indicated cell lines by clonogenic survival assays. Error bars represent one standard error of the mean from at least three independent experiments. In addition t -tests have been carried out for indicated survival curves. P≥0.05 not significant (NS), P≤0.05 statistically significant (*). ( D ) Immunoblot showing PCNA monoubiquitylation in whole cell lysates of wild type and ube2t−/− cells after exposure to UV (60 Jm −2 ) and the indicated recovery time. Immunoblot for β-actin confirms equal protein loading.
Article Snippet: Antisera were pre-cleared on a GST-coupled Affigel-15 matrix (Biorad) and then affinity purified on an Affigel-15 matrix coupled to UBE2T.
