ChIP Assays for Centromeric DNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed for all the species using the Pierce Agarose ChIP Kit (Thermo Scientific), following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Immunoprecipitation was carried out using 2 µg of mouse anti-human CENP-A monoclonal antibody (ab13939, Abcam) and normal rabbit Immunoglobulin G (IgG) to control nonspecific binding. One-tenth of starting material was reserved as input DNA control. DNA immunoprecipitated (IP) and input samples were analyzed by a PCR amplification with specific primers for the several satDNA sequences (supplementary table S1, Supplementary Material online). The input/IP ratio was quantified using Image J software.

Chromatin Fractionation and Western Blot

First, 6 ×106 1BR-hTERT cells were plated into
10 cm dishes and grown for 24 h.
DMSO or 10 μM 12 was then added for 48 h, and the
cells were harvested, washed in PBS, and pelleted. Cell pellets were
resuspended in low salt lysis buffer (50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 2 mM EDTA,
2 mM EGTA, 150 mM NaCl, 0.2% Triton-X100, 0.3% NP40) and incubated
on ice for 5 min. Cell lysates were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 4
min at 4 °C and the supernatant removed as the soluble fraction.
The chromatin pellet was washed three times in ice-cold PBS before
incubation with Benzonase (Sigma) in nuclease buffer (50 mM Tris pH
8.0, 20 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2) for 30 min on ice. An equal
volume of twice the high salt/Triton buffer (1.86 M NaCl, 0.4% Triton-X100)
was added before sonication in a water bath and centrifuged at 14000
rpm for 5 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was retained as the chromatin
fraction. Then 50 μg of protein from the soluble or chromatin
fractions were run on polyacrylamide gels using SDS-PAGE before Western
blotting using antibodies against BAF180 (Bethyl, A301-591A), α-tubulin
(Abcam, ab7291), and CENPA (Abcam, ab13939).

The cells were pelleted, dissolved in 4× Laemmli buffer, sonicated for 30 s, and immediately placed in ice. Whole-cell extracts were then heated for an additional 2 min at 95 °C and returned to ice. The samples were subsequently separated on 4–20% SDS-polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes via wet transfer at 80 V for 90 min. The membranes were then incubated in blocking buffer (PBS, 0.1% Tween, 5% nonfat dry milk) for 1 h at room temperature. Primary antibody incubations were conducted with indicated antibodies in blocking buffer at 4 °C overnight. Secondary antibody incubations were conducted the following day with species-appropriate horseradish peroxidase–conjugated secondary antibodies. The blots were developed using enhanced chemiluminescence substrate according to manufacturer's protocol (Millipore). Antibodies against CENPA (Abcam ab13939) and GAPDH (Abcam ab181602) were used as primary antibodies.

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.
