The response to DNA damage was analyzed using a cell-free system consisting of Xenopus egg extract and demembranated sperm nuclei. In the absence of DNA-damaging agents, detergent-resistant accumulation of replication protein A appeared in nuclei after a 30 minute incubation, and a considerable portion of the replication protein A signals disappeared during a further 30 minute incubation. Similar replication protein A accumulation was observed in the nuclei after a 30 minute incubation in the extract containing camptothecin, whereas a further 30 minute incubation generated discrete replication protein A foci. The addition of camptothecin also induced formation of γ-H2AX foci, which have been previously shown to localize at sites of DSBs. Analysis of the time course of DNA replication and results obtained using geminin, an inhibitor of licensing for DNA replication, suggest that the discrete replication protein A foci formed in response to camptothecin-induced DNA damage occur in a DNA-replication- dependent manner. When the nuclei were incubated in the extract containing EcoRI, discrete replication protein A foci were observed at 30 minutes as well as at 60 and 90 minutes after incubation, and the focus-formation of replication protein A was not sensitive to geminin. DNA replication was almost completely inhibited in the presence of EcoRI and the inhibition was sensitive to caffeine, an inhibitor of ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM) and ATM- and Rad3-related protein (ATR). However, the focus-formation of replication protein A in the presence of EcoRI was not influenced by caffeine treatment. EcoRI-induced incorporation of biotin-dUTP into chromatin was observed following geminin-mediated inhibition of DNA replication, suggesting that the incorporation was the result of DNA repair. The biotin-dUTP signal co-localized with replication protein A foci and was not significantly suppressed or stimulated by the addition of caffeine.
