After a 16 h doxycycline (2 μg/mL) induction, whole-cell extracts were obtained from 5 × 106 Bio-Dnmt3a1 ES cells by resuspension in CytoBuster Protein Extraction Reagent (Millipore) followed by 15-min incubation at room temperature (RT). Non-induced ESCs served as a negative control. Samples were spun at 20,000 g, 4 °C for 15 min and supernatant was isolated. Immunoprecipitation of biotinylated-DNMT3A1 was performed with M280-streptavidin beads (Thermo Fisher) using whole-cell extract from cultures with or without doxycycline induction. Equal amounts of protein were resuspended in Laemmli buffer and loaded for western blot analysis. The following antibodies were used: anti-DNMT3A (Santa Cruz, sc-20,703), anti-TET1 (provided by Dr. Guoliang Xu, [24 (link)]), and anti-β-actin (Santa Cruz, sc-47,778).
