Yeast protein extracts—except for chromatin fractionation—were prepared using the trichloroacetic acid protocol as described (18 (link)). For chromatin fractionation in Figure 5, total, soluble and pellet (chromatin) proteins were isolated as previously detailed for young yeast cells (35 (link)). Yeast proteins were run on an 8% (HA-Pds1, Brn1-Pk9 and Pgk1), 6% (Myc-Top2 and Myc-Ubr1) or 15% (H4 and Pgk1) sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrilamyde gel. HA-Pds1, Myc-Top2, Myc-Ubr1, Pgk1, Brn1-Pk9 and H4 were detected with the mouse monoclonal HA.11 (Covance), the mouse monoclonal 9E10 (Covance), the mouse polyclonal 22C5D8 (Invitrogen), the mouse monoclonal SV5-Pk1 (Serotec) and the rabbit polyclonal ab10158 (Abcam) antibodies, respectively. Peroxidase conjugate (Figures 1D, 4B, 4D and 5B) and fluorophore conjugate (Supplementary Figures S1A and S4A) secondary antibodies were used.
