NuRD complex components bind the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat.

(A) Schematic summary of the enChIP procedure. A 3xFLAG-dCas9-HA-2xNLS fusion protein (FLAG-dCas9) consisting of an N-terminal triple FLAG (3xFLAG) epitope tag, catalytically inactive Cas9 endonuclease (dCas9), C-terminal human influenza hemagglutinin (HA) epitope tag and tandem nuclear localization signal (2xNLS) is expressed with one or more guide RNA (gRNA) in an appropriate cell context. Cells are crosslinked, chromatin is fragmented and complexes containing FLAG-dCas9 are immunoprecipitated with an anti-FLAG antibody. After reversing the crosslinks, molecules associated with the targeted genomic region are purified and identified by downstream analyses including mass spectrometry and next-generation sequencing. Adapted from Fujita et al. (2016). (B–E) ChIP-qPCR enrichment of NuRD complex components CHD4 (B), HDAC2 (C), MTA2 (D) and MBD2 (E) along the D4Z4 repeat in MB2401 control myoblasts. The Chr18q12 amplicon contains no CpG dinucleotides and serves as a negative control site, while the TMEM130 promoter is occupied by NuRD complex components in published ENCODE datasets (ENCODE Project Consortium, 2012) and functions as a positive control locus. Error bars denote the standard deviation from the mean of three biological replicates. Statistical significance was calculated by comparing the specific pulldown to the IgG control at each site using a two-tailed, two-sample Mann-Whitney U test. *, p≤0.05; ns, not significant, p>0.05.

(B–D) MB135 control myoblasts stably expressing FLAG-dCas9 together with gRNA targeting the D4Z4 repeat (gD4Z4-1, gD4Z4-2, gD4Z4-3) or the MYOD1 distal regulatory region (DRR) (gMYOD1) were examined for FLAG-dCas9 expression level by immunoblot (B), subcellular localization by immunofluorescence (C) and chromatin occupancy by enChIP-qPCR (D). A + indicates that existing cell lines were super-infected to enhance FLAG-dCas9 levels and/or to co-express two D4Z4 gRNAs. The arrowhead in (B) indicates the expected size of full-length FLAG-dCas9. See also Figure 1—source data 1.
