Interaction of RECQL4 with poly(ADP‐ribose) is critical for the DNA double‐strand break response in human cells by Sunyoung Shin, Dongmin Kim, Hyemi Kim, Won‐Ho Cho, Gyungmin Kim, Joon‐Kyu Lee

“…Here, we showed that the domain of RECQL4 recruited to DSBs in a PARylation‐dependent manner directly interacts with poly(ADP‐ribose) (PAR) and contains a PAR‐binding motif (PBM). By replacing this PBM with a PBM of hnRNPA2 or its mutated form, we demonstrated that the PBM in RECQL4 is required for PARylation‐dependent recruitment and the roles of RECQL4 in the DSB response. …”

Iodixanol Density Gradient Preparation in University of Wisconsin Solution for Porcine Islet Purification by Michael P.M. Van der Burg, John M. Graham

“…The adverse effects arising from the subsequent pelleting and resuspension of the islets in a second, different (often highly hyperosmotic) purification solution are avoided in the protocol described here; preparation of the purification medium is simply achieved by mixing the UWS preincubated islets with a second UWS containing the inert impermeant iodixanol. Flotation of the islets isolated from juvenile porcine pancreases through this mildly hypertonic (~380 mOsm) gradient of iodixanol-UWS achieves a much higher recovery of islets of an improved viability than the customary method using a Ficoll gradient. …”
