proximity ligand assay to localize proteins in dna damage sites

Cellular DNA damage occurs daily because of the spontaneous chemical reactions and is also increased by exogenous factors such as genotoxic agents (radiation and chemicals such as etoposide) and oxidative stress1,2,3. The cells have a complex machinery that corrects a myriad of different types of DNA damage, from removal of bases to replicative fork torsion or interruption to the most deleterious lesion: the DNA double-strand break4,5.
Several proteins that participate in the DDR have already been characterized, and excellent revisions explore the pathways of non-homologous end join (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR), the main pathways implied in double-strand breaks (DSB) repair5,6. The phosphorylation of the histone H2A variant, H2AX, at serine 139 (thereafter named y-H2AX) has been used for many years as a sensitive and reliable marker of the double-strand break. The phosphorylation of H2AX is observed in the first minutes following the damage and can persist for hours7.
The advantage of using the immunofluorescence detection of &#947;-H2AX foci is the characterization of the temporal and spatial distribution of the foci, as well as its co-staining with other proteins. Moreover, immunofluorescence does not require lysis, which preserves cellular context information and makes it more informative. Besides, as &#947;-H2AX is formed de novo, it is not abundantly present in the absence of DNA damage, making it a specific marker7.
H2AX is mostly phosphorylated by protein kinase ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), the sensors of DSBs. Ku70/80 (XRCC6 X-ray repair cross-complementing 6/ XRCC5 X-ray repair cross-complementing 5) and DNA-protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) are responsible for DSB identification and the protection of DNA ends, whereas Artemis carries out end-processing to facilitate ligation by the XRCC4-Ligase IV complex. The phosphorylation of H2AX at sites flanking DSBs acts as a signal for the recruitment of several repair proteins and signaling for cell cycle arrest, death, or survival8.
The analysis of changes in y-H2AX foci is the most common assay for studying if the protein of interest is implicated in DNA damage response. Whether a direct role in the DNA damage site is expected, fluorescence microscopy is used to verify the co-localization of the protein of interest with y-H2AX foci. However, except for the new super-resolution fluorescence methods, concluding the local interaction with DNA damage sites can be tricky. Furthermore, immunofluorescence detection usually depends on many protein molecules at the DNA damage site, making it difficult to identify scarce proteins9.
Here, we show an assay to evaluate the localization of proteins involved in the DDR pathway using y-H2AX as a marker of the damage site. This assay can be used to characterize temporal localization under different insults that cause DNA damage.
The Proximity Ligand Assay (PLA) emerged as a tool for estimating interaction between proteins as well as spatial proximity among organelles or cellular structures10,11and allows the temporal localization and co-localization analysis under stress conditions, for instance. The method is simple because it is like conventional immunofluorescence and allows the simultaneous staining of organelle or cellular structure-specific markers, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, PML bodies, or DNA double-strand marker, yH2AX. The use of PLA allows the identification of protein interaction during DNA damage in a sensitive, specific, and reliable manner that can be used to monitor the interaction during the cell cycle, in response to different stimuli, and at different times after genotoxic stress.
We show here the use of PLA concomitantly to conventional &#947;-H2AX immunofluorescence to localize Nek4-Ku70 interaction after etoposide-induced DNA damage. Nek4, a Nek (NIMA-related kinases) family member, has no clear role in DNA Damage response. In 2012, Nguyen and colleagues showed that Nek4 interacts with Ku70/Ku80 proteins, and in the Nek4 absence, these proteins are not recruited to the DNA damage site, and H2AX phosphorylation is impaired12. The cellular localization of this interaction is unknown so far. We have observed a reduction in Ku70 phosphorylation in cells expressing Nek4 kinase-dead mutant13but whether Nek4 phosphorylates directly Ku70 remains to be elucidated. Considering that Nek4 interaction with Ku70 is increased after etoposide treatment according to immunoprecipitation studies12, we attempt to localize this interaction using PLA and the &#947;-H2AX marker.
Usually, the interaction studies are based on immunoprecipitation assays, but these are in vitro and do not provide information about the location of the interaction. When possible, an immunoprecipitation of fractioned cells (nucleus, mitochondrial, cellular membrane, or cytosol) can be performed, but performing a time course of the interaction is costly and laborious. Immunofluorescence can give information about the cellular localization of the proteins, but proving the interaction can be difficult and depends on the resolution of the microscopes. Here, we show the advantage of using the Proximity Ligand Assay to monitor the interaction of two proteins in a DNA damage context.

The DNA damage response is a genetic information safeguard that protects cells from perpetuating damaged DNA. The characterization of the proteins that cooperate in this process allows the identification of alternative targets for therapeutic intervention in several diseases, such as cancer, aging-related diseases, and chronic inflammation. The Proximity Ligand Assay (PLA) emerged as a tool for estimating interaction between proteins as well as spatial proximity among organelles or cellular structures and allows the temporal localization and co-localization analysis under stress conditions, for instance. The method is simple because it is similar to conventional immunofluorescence and allows the staining of an organelle, cellular structure, or a specific marker such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, PML bodies, or DNA double-strand marker, yH2AX simultaneously. The phosphorylation of the S139 at Histone 2A variant, H2AX, then referred to as yH2AX, is widely used as a very sensitive and specific marker of DNA double-strand breaks. Each focus of yH2AX staining corresponds to one break in DNA that occurs a few minutes after the damage. The analysis of changes in yH2AX foci is the most common assay for studying if the protein of interest is implicated in DNA damage response (DDR). Whether a direct role in the DNA damage site is expected, fluorescence microscopy is used to verify the colocalization of the protein of interest with yH2AX foci. However, except for the new super-resolution fluorescence methods, to conclude, the local interaction with DNA damage sites can be a little subjective. Here, we show an assay to evaluate the localization of proteins in the DDR pathway using yH2AX as a marker of the damage site. This assay can be used to characterize the temporal localization under different insults that cause DNA damage.

Here, we present a simple and rapid protocol for the detection of protein interaction at DNA damage sites.
