"The nucleosomes were diluted 10 fold with IP buffer and rocked with 4 μg of rat monoclonal antibody against GFP (Bio Academia Co. Ltd., 1A5) or mouse monoclonal antibody against H3K4me3 ( ) and H3K27me3 ( ) and bound to rabbit anti-mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA) and anti-rabbit IgG magnetic beads (Veritas, Tokyo, Japan) for 12 h. Beads were washed three times in IP buffer and eluted with 2x SDS sample buffer."

"Figure 2. Global effects of GFP-H3.1 overexpression on endogenous H3.3 and modifications. (A) H3.3 enrichment in different gene sets. Box plots show H3.3 ChIP-seq signal intensities for the indicated gene sets at TSS ± 2 kb. Mann-Whitney test was used for the statistical analysis. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Related data are shown in Supplementary Tables S4 and 5. (B) GFP-H3.1 or GFP-H3.3 incorporation in different gene sets expressed in box plots. GFP ChIP-seq signal intensities were analyzed at TSS ± 2 kb. Related data are shown in Supplementary Tables S4 and 5. (C) Co-localization of GFP-H3.1 and endogenous H3.3 in nucleosomes. Hydroxyapatite (HAP)-purified chromatin from C2C12 cells expressing GFP-H3.1 and GFP-H3.3 were immunoprecipitated with control IgG and GFP-specific antibody, and the presence of endogenous histones were analyzed by Western blotting. H3.3 was associated with GFP-H3.1-containing nucleosomes to form a bivariant state. (D) Association of H3K4me3 and H3K27m3 with different gene sets expressed as Z-scores from ChIP-seq signal intensities in each gene set at TSS ± 2 kb. GFP-H3.1 expression caused preferential H3K27me3 in SKM genes. "
