ChIP assay was performed as described previously 40 (link). In brief, cells were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde and the crosslinked chromatin was fragmented to 200-500 bp by sonication. The appropriate amounts of lysates were incubated with Magna ChIP Protein G Magnetic beads (Millipore) and specific antibodies (5 μg) at 4 °C overnight with gentle rocking. The ChIP complexes were eluted and analyzed by qRT-PCR (primer sequences listed in Table S1). Fold enrichment was calculated by the ΔΔCt method.
