Unless specified otherwise, laboratory chemicals
and reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used without additional
purification. Peptide synthesis reagents, including Fmoc amino acids
and
Rink-amide resin, were purchased from Anaspec. Selectively methylated
Fmoc-arginine amino acids and H-Ala-sulfamylbutyryl NovaSyn TG resin
are products of Novabiochem (EMD Millipore). Plasmids containing human
PCAF and histone H3.3 were purchased from ATCC, and remaining molecular
biology materials were purchased from Invitrogen. Oligonucleotide
primers were from Integrated DNA Technologies.
Restriction endonucleases,
recombinant human histones, and control DNA were purchased from New
England Biolabs. Histone H3R8me2a protein was purchased from ActiveMotif.
Spectrophotometric data were collected on a
DU-640 spectrophotometer(Beckman Coulter) unless indicated otherwise. Matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization (MALDI)-time of flight (TOF) and self-assembled
monolayers with matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization (SAMDI)-TOF
mass spectrometry were performed on a
4800 MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometer(Applied Biosystems) by manual and automated protocols. High-resolution
proteomic data were obtained on an
Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometer
equipped with a
nanoflow HPLC (Thermo Scientific). Gel filtration
was performed on an ÄKTA FPLC. All experiments were performed
in triplicate.
