We have developed a method to localize DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) insitu in cultured mammalian cells. Adenoviruses encoding Saccharomyces cerevisiae HOendonuclease and its cleavage site were used to induce site-specific DSBs. Rolling circleamplification (RCA), a sensitive method that allows the detection of single molecularevent by rapid isothermal amplification, was used to localize the broken ends in situ.Punctate RCA signals were only seen in the cells that had been infected with bothadenoviruses encoding HO endonuclease and HO cleavage site, but not in the cells mockinfectedor infected with the site or endonuclease virus only. With use of a chemicalcrosslinker, in situ RCA and immunofluorescence (IF) can be performed simultaneouslyon the same sample. This methodology provides a novel approach for investigation ofDNA recombination, DNA repair, and checkpoint controls in mammalian cells.
