Article Title: The SMC5/SMC6 complex is critical for resolving R-loop-induced transcription–replication conflicts
doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaf1537
Figure Lengend Snippet: SMC5/6 is required for recruitment of BLM/TOP3A/RMI (BTRR) complex to TRC. ( A, B, C, D ) U2OS WT and SETX -KO cells with or without RNASEH1 expression were subjected to PLA analysis showing colocalization between TOP3A and FANCD2 (A), TOP3A and SMC5-Flag (B left), TOP3A and R-loops (B right), BLM and SMC5-Flag (C left), RMI1 and SMC5-Flag (C right), BLM and R-loops (D left), and RMI1 and R-loops (D right). ( E ) U2OS SETX -KO cells were infected with SMC5 shRNA or vector. Three days after infection, cells were used for PLA analysis showing colocalization between BLM and R-loops (left), TOP3A and R-loops (middle), and RMI1 and R-loops (right). ( F ) U2OS WT cells were infected with shRNA to knock down indicated genes. Three days after infection, cells were used for PLA analysis showing colocalization between SMC5-Flag and R-loops (S9.6). ( G ) U2OS WT cells were infected with shRNA to knock down indicated genes. Three days after infection, cells were subjected to PLA analysis showing colocalization between replication (PCNA) and transcription (pPOLR2A).
