Antibodies used for immunoprecipitation were purchased from: histone H3 di methyl K27 (H3K27me2, Abcam) and Histone H3 trimethyl K27 (H3K27me3, Diagenode). 10 µg of each antibody or appropriate irrelevant antibody control were used in each ChIP reaction as described previously [18] (link). Primers used for detection of relevant rat genomic sequences were: IFNγ −43 kb sense 5′- aaggtcaagccataacattc-3′ and antisense 5′- cagggatgaacaaggaccag-3′; IFNγ −0.5 kb sense 5′- cttttgtaaccgaacgccttc-3′ and antisense 5′- cttttacttcacaccatttg-3′; IFNγ 0.4 kb sense 5′- tcggtgaggtgttcgttgac-3′ and antisense 5′- aagaatgaaaaccatgaagg-3′ and IFNγ 1.1 kb sense 5′- gagttgagtttatttgtgg-3′ and antisense 5′- ctgtggagttttgttgaatg-3′. Each PCR reaction was performed in triplicate and the analysis was repeated three times from independent ChIP experiments. A signal intensity value for each sample was calculated from the average of the experiments. Average values of eluates were normalized to average values of control antibody sample and expressed as fold enrichment above background (i.e. control antibody) [18] (link).

The antibodies used in the ChIP assays included: H3Ac (Millipore), H4Ac (Upstate Biotechnology, Lake Placid, NY), H3K9Ac (Active Motif, Carlsbad, CA), H3K4Me3 (Millipore), H3K4Me2 (Abcam), H3K4Me (Millipore), H3K9Me2 (Millipore), H3K9Me3 (Abcam) H3K27me2 (Abcam) H3K27me3 (Millipore), p300 (Abcam), PCAF (Abcam), SUV39H1 (Millipore), CBP (Abcam), ESET/SetDB1(Millipore), Ezh2 (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA), G9a/EHMT2 (C6H3) (Abcam), HP1α (Millipore), HP1β (Active Motif), and HP1γ (Millipore). DNA was recovered by a Chelex 10% slurry and sample boiling method,10 (link) or using the IP-STAR (Diagenode, Denville, NJ) direct chip protocol followed by the IPPURE DNA purification. 1% Pre-enriched chromatin (input) served as the percentage input for sample quantification, confirmed by fold over IgG changes. The UV-exposed 4% agarose gels were imaged, and the digitized images were analyzed using the software VisionWorks (UVP). Protein signals were indexed by measuring their relative mean grey value per area.

Whole-cell extracts were prepared, and the protein concentration of samples was determined by using a Bradford DC assay kit (Bio-Rad). Whole-cell extracts from samples of interest were then fractionated by electrophoresis through a 9% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. Gels were run at 100 V for 1.5 hr before transfer onto nitrocellulose. After thr blockade of nonspecific protein binding, nitrocellulose blots were incubated for 1 hr with primary antibodies diluted in Tris-buffered saline (TBS)/Tween 20 (0.075%) containing 5% bovine serum albumin. Rabbit polyclonal antibody-recognizing EZH2 was used at 1/500 dilution (Active Motif, catalog no. 39103), H3K27me2 (Abcam ab24684), H3K27me3 (Abcam, ab6002), H3K4me3 (Abcam, ab8580), and β-actin at 1/1000 dilution (Sigma). After incubation with primary antibodies, blots were washed three times in TBS/Tween 20 before incubation for 1 hr in appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody. After extensive washing in TBS/Tween 20, the blots were processed with distilled water for detection of antigen by using the enhanced chemiluminescence system (Amersham Biosciences).

For in vitro demethylation assays, SlJMJ4-GST fusion proteins were purified using glutathione sepharose 4B (GE Healthcare). Afterwards, histone demethylase activity was analyzed as previously described [18 (link)]. In brief, the purified GST-tagged SlJMJ14 (4.0 μg) was incubated with calf thymus histones (Sigma) in a reaction buffer containing 150 mM NaCl, 80 μM Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2, 50 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.0), 1 mM α-KG, and 2 mM ascorbic acid for 6 h at 37°C. The reaction was terminated with 10 μM EDTA and subjected to western blotting analysis. For in vitro demethylation assays, histone proteins were extracted from 2-month-old leaves of SlJMJ4-OE and WT plants with the EpiQuik Total Histone Extraction Kit (Epigentek, Farmingdale, NY, USA) and analyzed by western blotting.

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.
