Lead Research Organisation: Institute of Cancer Research
Department Name: Division of Cancer Biology

Abstract

Aim 1. A commitment to HR: defining the role of EXD2 in DSB repair pathway choice
Aim 2. In vitro biochemistry analyses of the effect of end resection on the DNA binding of NHEJ factors.

Description Tandem mass tag mass spectrometry screen (co-immunoprecipitation) 
Organisation Institute of Cancer Research UK
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution My lab optimised the conditions for the co-immunoprecipitations, and prepared the samples for the screen including the immunoprecipitations, tryptic digest and tandem mass tag labelling.
Collaborator Contribution The proteomic team led by Jyoti Choudhary advised on how to carry out the necessary tryptic digest and tandem mass tag labelling. In addition, they ran the samples on the mass spectrometer and carried out the search for peptide hits.
Impact The mass spectrometry screen dataset. It is multidisciplinary including work in molecular/cellular biology, proteomics analysis and biochemical methods.
