Many proteins involved in the DNA damage pathway shuttle between the cytoplasm and nucleus, and their localizations are important for functions. In that regard, immunofluorescence microscopy has been widely used to delineate the temporal and spatial regulation of proteins. Here, we describe an unconventional method for studying the cellular localization of CHK1, a cell cycle checkpoint kinase that undergoes shuttling from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in response to genotoxic stress. In this study, we included an acid extraction step to better reveal the nuclear localization of CHK1.
