Processing of a 3′-PG 14mer by extracts of lymphoblastoid cells from SCAN1 patients (closed symbols) and from unaffected members (open symbols) of the same family, including TDP1+/– carriers (squares, males; circles, females)

Following heat denaturation of cellular proteins, the substrate was treated with PNKP to convert 3′-phosphate to 3′-OH termini. Titration with various concentrations of extract () showed that whole-cell extracts (closed circles) contained about twice as much PG-processing activity as nuclear extracts (open squares)
