Immunofluorescence localization assays were performed as described by Martínez-Macías et al. (47 (link)). First, seedling tissue samples were used for nuclei preparation. The nuclei preparations were incubated at room temperature with different combinations of anti-Flag (F7425, Sigma), anti-Flag (F1804, Sigma), anti-Myc (05-724, Millipore), H3K9me1 (07-352, Millipore), S9.6 (from Q. Sun’s laboratory, Tsinghua University), and anti-γH2AX (4418-APC-020, Trevigen) primary antibodies overnight, after which they were incubated with mouse Alexa594 (A23410, Abbkine)–conjugated or rabbit Alexa-488 (A23220, Abbkine)–conjugated secondary antibodies for 2 hours at 37°C. After washing with phosphate-buffered saline, DNA was counterstained using DAPI in Prolong Gold Antifade Mountant (Invitrogen). Nuclei were observed with a confocal microscope, Leica TCS SP8 STED 3× (Leica).
