Quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunoblotting, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay were performed as previously described (15 (link)). For the ChIP assay, C2C12 or primary human myotubes were fixed with 1% formaldehyde and sonicated to produce chromatin lysates. The lysates were precleared with Protein-G agarose beads and immunoprecipitated overnight with antibodies against Ace-H3 (Millipore), Ace-H4 (Millipore), H3K4m3 (Millipore), H3K9m2 (Abcam), or control IgG in the presence of BSA and salmon sperm DNA. The next day, Protein-G agarose beads were added to each immunoprecipitation reaction for 1 h, followed by an extensive wash and reverse crosslink. DNA was eluted from the beads and purified using a PCR Purification kit (Invitrogen) and subsequently analyzed by qPCR using primers located on the proximal Baf60c and Deptor promoters. Primers are available upon request.
