Fluorescence microscopy in combination with the induction of localized DNA damage using focused light beams has played a major role in the study of protein recruitment kinetics to DNA damage sites in recent years. Currently published methods are dedicated to the study of single fluorophore/single protein kinetics. However, these methods may be limited when studying the relative recruitment dynamics between two or more proteins due to cell-to-cell variability in gene expression and recruitment kinetics, and are not suitable for comparative analysis of fast-recruiting proteins. To tackle these limitations, we have established a time-lapse fluorescence microscopy method based on simultaneous dual-channel acquisition following UV-A-induced local DNA damage coupled with a standardized image and recruitment analysis workflow. Simultaneous acquisition is achieved by spectrally splitting the emitted light into two light paths, which are simultaneously imaged on two halves of the same camera chip. To validate this method, we studied the recruitment of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and the chromatin remodeler ALC1. In accordance with the published data based on single fluorophore imaging, simultaneous dual-channel imaging revealed that PARP1 regulates fast recruitment and dissociation of PARG and that in PARP1-depleted cells PARG and PCNA are recruited with comparable kinetics. This approach is particularly advantageous for analyzing the recruitment sequence of fast-recruiting proteins such as PARP1 and ALC1, and revealed that PARP1 is recruited faster than ALC1. Split-view imaging can be incorporated into any laser microirradiation-adapted microscopy setup together with a recruitment-dedicated image analysis package.
