FANCD2 ChIP-MS experiments in refined synchronized HCT116 cells with different types of replication stress are performed to identify additional proteins involved in the resolution of UFBs. Through reciprocal ChIP-MS and colocalization analysis by immunofluorescence experiments observed interactions will be validated. In collaboration with SP-Z promising candidates will be prioritized and subsequently tested for their contribution to the resolution of UFBs and chromosome segregation. In collaboration ...

In this study we can investigate the ability to pull down BLM in BLM-AID cells with its inserted GFP tag and use the BLM-depleted cell line as a control. The ChIP-MS analysis of BLM in synchronized cells can reveal new interaction partners invovled in the resolution of UFBs. On the other hand pulling down other UFB binding proteins in BLM depleted cells can help to understand the impact of cell-cycle specific BLM depletion on UFB resolution.
