yFS661 was synchronized at G1, formaldehyde cross linked and subjected to MNase ChIP with rabbit anti-Mcm2-7 polyclonal antibody (UM185, gift from Steve Bell) (Bowers et al. 2004 (link)) and protein G agarose (Sigma) as described (Liu et al. 2005 (link)). Briefly, 5 × 109 G1-arrested cells were cross linked with 0.1% formaldehyde for 15 min and quenched with 125 mM glycine. MNase-digested chromatin was prepared by spheroplasting cells with Zymolyase 100T (Seikagaku), recovering chromatin by centrifugation, and treating with MNase (Worthington) to digest it to mononucleosomal and sub-mononucleosomal fragments.
