SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (9003) was used for ChIP assays following the manufacturer protocol and previously described protocol (34 (link), 35 (link)) IgG was supplied with the ChIP assay kit. Anti-HA tag antibody-ChIP grade (ab9110) were purchased from ABCAM. The oligonucleotides used to amplify a 151bp sequence of the human cyclinD2 promoter containing a CRE at position −294 were (5’−3’): GAAAGGGGAGGAGGAACCAGAG and CTGCCTCACTCGCACCG.
Luciferase assay was performed as described before (21 (link)) using DUAL Luciferase® reporter assay system from Promega (E1910) was used following their specifications and performed using the firefly luciferase reporter gene with the wild type human cyclin D1 promoter as previously described (34 (link)).
DeadEnd™ Fluorometric TUNEL (TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling) assay from Promega (TB235) was performed following the manufacturer protocol and specifications.
