ChIP was performed as previously described (Schwartz et al. 2012 (link); Davidovich et al. 2013 (link)) with the exceptions noted in the Supplemental Material. For immunoprecipitation, 5–25 µg of solubilized chromatin was used with 2 µg of α-RNA Pol II antibody (EMD Millipore, catalog no. 05-623), α-H3 (Abcam, ab-1791), α-H3K4me2/3 (Abcam, ab-6000), α-H3K27me3 (EMD Millipore, 07-449), or 4 µg of α-GABPα (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, H-180 sc-22810) and nutated overnight at 4°C.
All replicates reported in this study represent independent biological samples.
