This study explores the role of HBO1 and other replication factors (MCM3, MCM5, ORC1, Cdt1, Cdc6) in different stages of the cell cycle (G1/S, G2/M) using whole cellular extracts and chromatin fractions from CCL-156 cells. We analyzed mRNA and protein levels in response to Actinomycin D treatment and HBO1 overexpression, employing FACS for cell staging and Western blotting for protein detection. Notably, HBO1 expression levels varied, indicating its significant regulatory function in chromatin-associated processes during cell cycle progression.

(A) Expression level of HBO1, MCM2, ORC1, and Cdt1 mRNAs in CCL-156 cells staged in early S phase (hydroxyurea block) or at the G2/M transition (nocodozole block). Efficient staging was confirmed by FACS analysis. (B) Western blot analysis of HBO1, Cdt1, Cdc6, ORC1, and ORC2 expression in CCL-156 cells staged in early S phase and at the G2/M transition. (C) Expression level and chromatin association of HBO1 and replication factors in the absence or presence of actinomycin D (actD). Note that, for unknown reasons, soluble HBO1 is degraded following ActD treatment, whereas the level of chromatin-bound HBO1 is unaffected. (D) Expression level and chromatin association of HBO1 and replication factors under conditions of HBO1 overexpression. Values for each protein indicate fold-difference upon HBO1 overexpression
