    DPPA2/4 multimerize for stability and nucleosome binding. ( A ) Western blot of whole-cell extracts from <t>NCI-H661</t> cells following CRISPR–Cas9-mediated knockout of DPPA2 and/or DPPA4 isogenic clones (WT) Wild type, (DPPA2 KO) DPPA2 single knockout, (DPPA4 KO) DPPA4 single knockout, (DKO) DPPA2+4 double knockout. Blots are anti-DPPA2 or antivinculin. “L” indicates a molecular ladder; sizes are annotated at the right . ( B ) Immunofluorescence images for DPPA2 (green) and DPPA4 (red) in NCI-H661 isogenic knockout clones. Single z -slice representative images are provided for each genotype. Scale bars, 50 µm. ( C ) Scatter plot of immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (IP-MS) results following endogenous DPPA2 or DPPA4 IP from NCI-H661 whole-cell lysates ( n = 4 per condition). Enriched proteins were determined relative to species-matched IgG IP control by comparing label-free quantitation (LFQ-AUC) for each protein (log 2 FC ≥1 and BH-adjusted P -value of <0.05). The inset Venn diagram highlights the overlap of enriched proteins for DPPA2 and DPPA4. Proteins are colored based on whether they were enriched in a single IP or both IPs. ( D ) Box plots of enriched DPPA2 and DPPA4 protein levels from IP-MS of DPPA2/4 and matched IgG controls from NCI-H661 whole-cell lysates (log 2 LFQ-AUC; n = 4 per condition). ( E ) Box plots of DPPA2 and DPPA4 absolute protein levels relative to the bait (DPPA2/4 stoichiometry) following IP-MS of DPPA2/4 from NCI-H661 whole-cell lysates (units are relative intensity-based absolute quantification [iBAQ]; n = 4 per condition). ( F ) Representative electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) of unmodified recombinant nucleosomes incubated in the absence/presence of increasing concentrations of recombinant DPPA2-Myc/FLAG and/or His-DPPA4 protein. Protein concentrations are denoted above the gel, and the percentage of nucleosomal DNA bound in each lane is annotated below . Percentage nucleosomes shifted represents the percentage loss of band compared with the input. The experiment was repeated three times. ( G ) Density histogram of enhanced chromatin occupancy (EChO) paired-end fragment size analysis from CUT&RUN experiments performed using DPPA2 (MAB4356) and DPPA4 (ab154642, AP21202c, and AP1438a) antibodies. The X -axis represents the mean CUT&RUN fragment size at peak foci (peaks called using MACS2 for each CUT&RUN relative to a matched IgG control). The vertical line at 150 bp represents the cutoff for nucleosomal DNA fragments. ( H ) Immunofluorescence imaging of DPPA2 (green) and DPPA4 immunostaining (red) in NCI-H661 parental cells. Representative images are projections (maximum five z -slices) for cells in different stages of mitosis. DAPI stain is shown in blue. Scale bars, 10 µm. The intensity profile for each channel in a single z -slice along the dotted line in the merged image is shown below the images.

    DPPA2/4 colocate at active gene regulatory regions marked by H3K4me3, H3K27ac, and H2AK119ub. ( A ) Genome view of the chromosome 20: 33,632,176–33,752,019 (hg38) locus. Gene annotation track and CpG islands (red) are shown above . Tracks depict individual replicate tracks of double-cross-linked input ChIPs ( top ) and CUT&RUN ( bottom ). ChIP tracks include control input (gray; n = 1), DPPA2 (blue; n = 2), and DPPA4 (purple; n = 2). CUT&RUN tracks include mouse and rabbit IgG (gray; n = 1 each), DPPA2 (blue; n = 1), and DPPA4 (two different antibodies; purple; n = 1). Consensus DPPA2+4 peaks are annotated at the bottom . Scales are in counts per million per base pair. ( B ) Genomic annotations of DPPA2+4 consensus peaks ( n = 16,620). Promoter TSS is defined as the TSS ± 1500 bp. ( C ) G/C content of ( left ) and GC/CG dinucleotide fraction within ( right ) DPPA2+4 consensus peaks ( n = 16,620) compared with size-matched random genomic regions ( n = 16,620). ( D ) Venn diagram showing the overlap of DPPA2/4 consensus peaks and KDM2A peaks. ( E ) Heat maps of ChIP-seq enrichment at DPPA2+4 consensus peaks (±5 kb from the center of each peak, split into 100 equal windows) grouped by KDM2A peak overlap ( top ) versus nonoverlap ( bottom ) for input (gray; n = 1), DPPA2 (purple; n = 2), DPPA4 (pink; n = 2), and KDM2A (orange; n = 1). ChIP counts per million per base pair values were scaled per bin across all regions for visualization. DNA methylation (WGBS; n = 3) and CpG island density are shown for comparison. WGBS represents the fraction of methylated DNA. ( F ) Pearson correlation of KDM2A versus DPPA2 ( left ) or DPPA4 ( right ) enrichment at CpG islands in NCI-H661 cells. Scatter plots show fold enrichment over input and are colored by percentage DNA methylation (red). ( G ) Genome view of the chromosome 5: 93,429,332–93,810,092 (hg38) locus. Gene annotation track and CpG islands (red) are shown above . Shown from top to bottom are the double-cross-linked (2×) input ChIP control ( n = 1); average DPPA2 ( n = 2) and DPPA4 ( n = 2) ChIP; single-cross-linked input ChIP control ( n = 1); average H3K4me3 ( n = 2), H3K27ac ( n = 2), H3K4me1 ( n = 2), H2AK119ub ( n = 2), H3K27me3 ( n = 2), H3K36me3 ( n = 2), H3K36me2 ( n = 2), and H3K9me3 ( n = 2) ChIP; and average DNA methylation (WGBS; n = 3). Consensus DPPA2+4 peaks are annotated below . Scales are in counts per million per base pair for ChIPs and in percentage methylated DNA for WGBS (0%–100%).
