RNA Pol2 Antibody Extraction Other: For “Super-enhancer” ChIP-Seq, 1x10(8) exponentially growing cells were collected by centrifugation, resuspended in room temperature RPMI without FBS ( 2x10(6) cells/ml) and cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 5 min at RT. Cross-linking was quenched by addition of 125 mM Glycine for 5 min at RT. Cross-linked cells were first washed with ice-cold PBS and then resuspended in ice-cold RIPA buffer (10mM Tris-HCl pH8, 140 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA pH 8, 0.5 mM EGTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS and 0.1% Sodium Deoxycholate) to a final concentration of 5x10(6) cell/ml. DNA was sheared with a Misonix XL sonicator, by performing 12 x 45'' sonication cycles at power setting of 5. For the immune precipitation reaction, 2.0x10(7) chromatin cell equivalents were incubated overnight with 10 ug of total RNA Pol2 antibody (Covance, 8WG16). The following day, chromatin/antibody complexes were incubated with 50 ul of Protein G magnetic beads (Invitrogen) for 4 h at 4C. Protein G bound complexes were washed 4 times with RIPA Buffer, once with LiCl Buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH8, 250 mM LiCl, 0.5% NP40, 0.5% Sodium Deoxycholate, 1 mM EDTA), once with TE pH 8.0 and finally resuspended in 100 ul TE pH8 containing RNAse A (0.2 ug/ul). Reverse cross-link was performed overnight at 65C, followed by treatment with 20 ug Proteinase K (Invitrogen) for 2 h at 50C. Final DNA purification was performed with QIAquick PCR Purification columns (QIAGEN). ChIP DNA was used to generate ChIP-Seq libraries with the NEXTflexTM Illumina ChIP- Seq Library Prep Kit (Bio Scientific), according to manufacturer's instructions.
