αdBigH1 antibodies are described in (6 (link)). αdH1 antibodies were a gift from Dr J. Kadonaga and are described in (16 (link)). αRpb3 antibodies were a gift from Dr J. Zeitlinger and are described in (17 (link)). The rest of antibodies used in these experiments were commercially available: αPol IIoser5 (Abcam, ab5131), αH3Kac (Millipore 06-599), αH3K36me3 (Cell Signaling, 9715), αH3 (Abcam, ab9050), αH4 (Abcam, ab10158) and αFLAG (Sigma F3165).
Recombinant His-tagged dBigH1 constructs were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21-LysS cells using pET30b(+) expression vectors (Novagen), and purified using Ni-NTA columns (BioRad) by conventional methods.

U2OS cells were harvested in lysis buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0; Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 1x PIC-C (Calbiochem), incubated on ice for an hour, then centrifuged (13,000 rpm at 4 °C for 5 minutes). The supernatant lysates were mixed with the same amount of 2x SDS loading buffer containing 5% β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich) and boiled for 5 minutes. The lysates were separated in SDS-PAGE, transferred to Amersham Hybond ECL-membrane (GE Healthcare) and incubated with the following primary antibodies: anti-p53 (Dako, IS616), anti-S15 P p53 (Cell signalling, 9284), 1BP7G5 anti-RPB1 (from L. Tora, IGBMC), anti-S2P RPB1 (Abcam, ab5095) and anti-S5P RPB1 (Abcam, ab5131), anti-GAPDH (Millipore, MAB374); then the following secondary antibodies: RAM-HRP (Dako, P0260) and GAR-HRP (Dako, P0448). Chemiluminescent detection was conducted using Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP substrate (Millipore).

Cross-linking ChIP-seq and ChIP-qPCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After cross-linking, ChIP-qPCR and ChIP-seq were performed as described in Ribaud et al. (2012) (link) with the following modifications for ChIP-seq. A defined amount (5% of total chromatin) of cross-linked and sonicated chromatin from S. pombe was added to S. cerevisiae chromatin prior to the immunoprecipitation step. Following steps in the ChIP protocol were performed as described in Ribaud et al. (2012) (link). ChIP was performed using the following antibodies: for histone H3 ChIP, Abcam ab1791; for histone H3K9ac, Millipore 07-352; for histone H4ac, Millipore 06-866; for RNAPII, Abcam ab5131; for Flag, Sigma F3165; and for Myc, a homemade antibody (clone 9E10). DNA libraries where prepared using TruSeq Illumina kit according to the manufacturer's instructions and sequenced in single-end mode on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform at the Institute of Genetics and Genomics of Geneva (iGE3; http://www.ige3.unige.ch/genomics-platform.php). For ChIP-qPCR, primer sequences are available on request.

Antibodies Generation and Validation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pol II S2P and Pol II S5P antibodies were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Ab5095 and Ab5131). For the ChIP-Seq analysis of CBP/Neijre, Rpb3, Spt5, NELF-A and NELF-E we used previously described antibodies2 ,3 (link). Antibodies against NELF-B (epitope corresponding to 150–594 amino acid residues) were generated in this study. The epitopes for antibody production were expressed as 6 × His-tagged fusion proteins in Escherichia coli, affinity-purified on Ni Sepharose 6 Fast Flow (GE Healthcare), according to the manufacturer’s protocol, and injected into rabbits, following the standard immunization procedure. Antibodies were affinity-purified using the same epitopes as were used for immunization. The specificity of antibodies against EcR, Spt5, NELF A and NELF B was characterized in the RNA interference experiments by the specific depletion of corresponding proteins (Figs. S1S4). Antibodies production was performed according to procedures outlined in the NIH (USA) Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. The protocol used was approved by the Committee on Bioethics of the Institute of Gene Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. All procedures were performed under conditions designed to minimize suffering.

Transcriptional Regulation by Triptolide

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Scc1-mEGFP-AID cells were treated with 300 nM Triptolide (Sigma, T3652) for 3 hours, and cells were collected for western blot or Hi-C. For western blot, cells were resuspended in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 0.5% Na-deoxycholate and 0.1% SDS), which additionally contained pepstatin, leupeptin and chymostatin (10 μg/ml each) and PMSF (1 mM). The protein concentration was determined with the Bradford Protein Assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories). SDS-PAGE and standard western blot technique were applied to detect individual proteins with specific antibodies: rabbit anti-RNA polymerase II phospho-Ser2 (Abcam, ab5095), rabbit anti-RNA polymerase II phospho-Ser5 (Abcam, ab5131) and mouse anti-tubulin (Sigma, T-5168).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
