Eco-Pack 2–293 cells (Clontech) and 293T cells (gifted from Dr. Yao [Ito et al., 2001 (link)]) were grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. Wild-type and Suv39h dn iMEFs (Lachner et al., 2001 (link)) were grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 0.1 mM beta-mercaptoethanol, and 1x non-essential amino acids. The following antibodies were used in this study: anti-FLAG-M2 (F3165: Sigma-Aldrich, RRID:AB_259529), anti-FLAG-M2-HRP (A8592: Sigma-Aldrich, RRID: AB_439702), anti-α-tubulin (T5168: Sigma, RRID: AB_477579), anti-Suv39h1 (8729: Cell Signaling, RRID: AB_10829612), anti-H3 (ab21054: Abcam, RRID: AB_880437), anti-H3K9me3 (ab8898: Abcam, RRID: AB_306848 and 2F3 (RRID: AB_2616099)(Chandra et al., 2012 (link)), anti-HP1β (BMP002: MBL, RRID: AB_843158), and anti-GST (27-4577-01: GE Healthcare, RRID: AB_771432).
