title: XX;dsx vs Male-14b

description: Adult Drosophila melanogaster strain y[1]w[67c] and +/+;dsx[M+R45]/dsx[swe] flies were grown at 25C on GIF medium (KD Medical, Columbia, MD) for 3 to 5 days post eclosion. Whole flies were quick frozen on Dry ice and total RNA was extracted (Andrews et al, Genome Research 10:2030-2043) using Trizol reagent (GibcoBRL, Gaithersburg, MD). Probes were labeled with Cy3 (Probe 1) or Cy5 (Probe 2). To synthesize probes, mRNA was isolated by a single round of poly(A) selection using Oligotex resin (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). The purified mRNA was quantified using RiboGreen dye (Molecular Probes) in a fluorescent assay. RiboGreen dye was diluted 1:200 (v/v final) and mixed with known RNA concentrations (determined by absorbance at 260 nm) ranging from 1 to 5000 ng/ml. A Millennium RNA size ladder (Ambion, Austin, TX) was used to generate standard curves and unknown samples were diluted as necessary. Fluorescence was measured in 96-well plates with a FLUOstar fluorometer (BMG Lab Technologies, Germany) fitted with 485 nm (excitation) and 520 nm (emission) filters. Between 25 and 100 ng mRNA were separated on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA), to examine the mRNA size distribution. 200 ng of purified mRNA were converted to either a Cy3- or Cy5-labeled cDNA probe using a custom labeling kit (Incyte Genomics). Each reaction contained 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 4 mM DTT, 2 mM dNTPs (0.5 mM each), 2 µg Cy3 or Cy5 random 9mer (Trilink, San Diego, CA), 20 U RNase inhibitor (Ambion), 200 U MMLV RNase H-free reverse transcriptase (Promega, Madison, WI) and mRNA. Correspondingly labeled Cy3 and Cy5 cDNA products were combined and purified on a size exclusion column, concentrated by ethanol precipitation and resuspended in hybridization buffer. Probes were added between two subarray slides and developed as described (Yue et al.2001, NAR. 29:e41). Microarrays were scanned on a GenePix 4000A scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA) at 535 nm. Signal intensities were initially stored and analyzed using GEMTools software (Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto CA). Background corrections were done by calculating the average Cy3/Cy5 signal to produce a balanced coefficient (Yue et al., 2001) Further corrections for non-uniform conditions during array printing and/or hybridization were performed using Qualifier software (Novation Bioscience, Palo Alto CA).

description: Histones were identically tagged at their N-termini with biotin ligase recognition peptide (BLRP) (de Boer, E. et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100, 7480-5 (2003), and Beckett, D. et al. Protein Sci 8, 921-9 (1999)) and expressed together with E. coli biotin ligase in Drosophila S2 cells. Nuclei were prepared as described (McKittrick, E., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101, 1525-1530 (2004).), and treated with micrococcal nuclease (MNase) to digest chromatin to yield mostly mononucleosomes. Chromatin was extracted (input) using a modification of the procedure of Blower, M.D., et al. (Developmental Cell 2, 319-330 (2002)). Biotinylated histone-containing nucleosome particles (pull-down) were purified and DNA was extracted from both input and pull-down fraction for microarray analysis. DNA from input (3 ug) and pull-down (4 ug) was provided to NimbleGen Systems for differential labelling by random priming with Cy3- or Cy5 and hybridization to oligonucleotide arrays.  For each experiment, input and pull-down channel signal intensities and scaled log2(ratios) were provided by NimbleGen Systems.

description: Adult Drosophila melanogaster Antennapedia[73b] and apterous[56f] strain flies were obtained from Carolina Biological Supply (Burlington, NC). Flies were quick frozen on dry ice and total RNA was extracted (Andrews et al, Genome Research 10:2030-2043) using Trizol reagent (GibcoBRL, Gaithersburg, MD). Probes were labeled with Cy3 (Probe 1) or Cy5 (Probe 2). To synthesize probes, mRNA was isolated by a single round of poly(A) selection using Oligotex resin (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). The purified mRNA was quantified using RiboGreen dye (Molecular Probes) in a fluorescent assay. RiboGreen dye was diluted 1:200 (v/v final) and mixed with known RNA concentrations (determined by absorbance at 260 nm) ranging from 1 to 5000 ng/ml. A Millennium RNA size ladder (Ambion, Austin, TX) was used to generate standard curves and unknown samples were diluted as necessary. Fluorescence was measured in 96-well plates with a FLUOstar fluorometer (BMG Lab Technologies, Germany) fitted with 485 nm (excitation) and 520 nm (emission) filters. Between 25 and 100 ng mRNA were separated on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA), to examine the mRNA size distribution. 200 ng of purified mRNA were converted to either a Cy3- or Cy5-labeled cDNA probe using a custom labeling kit (Incyte Genomics). Each reaction contained 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 4 mM DTT, 2 mM dNTPs (0.5 mM each), 2 µg Cy3 or Cy5 random 9mer (Trilink, San Diego, CA), 20 U RNase inhibitor (Ambion), 200 U MMLV RNase H-free reverse transcriptase (Promega, Madison, WI) and mRNA.

Each reaction contained 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 4 mM DTT, 2 mM dNTPs (0.5 mM each), 2 µg Cy3 or Cy5 random 9mer (Trilink, San Diego, CA), 20 U RNase inhibitor (Ambion), 200 U MMLV RNase H-free reverse transcriptase (Promega, Madison, WI) and mRNA. Correspondingly labeled Cy3 and Cy5 cDNA products were combined and purified on a size exclusion column, concentrated by ethanol precipitation and resuspended in hybridization buffer. Probes were added between two subarray slides and developed as described (Yue et al.2001, NAR. 29:e41). Microarrays were scanned on a GenePix 4000A scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA) at 535 nm. Signal intensities were initially stored and analyzed using GEMTools software (Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto CA). Background corrections were done by calculating the average Cy3/Cy5 signal to produce a balanced coefficient (Yue et al., 2001).

Probes were labeled with Cy3 (Probe 1) or Cy5 (Probe 2).  To synthesize probes, mRNA was isolated by a single round of poly(A) selection using Oligotex resin (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). The purified mRNA was quantified using RiboGreen dye (Molecular Probes) in a fluorescent assay. RiboGreen dye was diluted 1:200 (v/v final) and mixed with known RNA concentrations (determined by absorbance at 260 nm) ranging from 1 to 5000 ng/ml. A Millennium RNA size ladder (Ambion, Austin, TX) was used to generate standard curves and unknown samples were diluted as necessary. Fluorescence was measured in 96-well plates with a FLUOstar fluorometer (BMG Lab Technologies, Germany) fitted with 485 nm (excitation) and 520 nm (emission) filters. Between 25 and 100 ng mRNA were separated on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA), to examine the mRNA size distribution. 200 ng of purified mRNA were converted to either a Cy3- or Cy5-labeled cDNA probe using a custom labeling kit (Incyte Genomics). Each reaction contained 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 4 mM DTT, 2 mM dNTPs (0.5 mM each), 2 µg Cy3 or Cy5 random 9mer (Trilink, San Diego, CA), 20 U RNase inhibitor (Ambion), 200 U MMLV RNase H-free reverse transcriptase (Promega, Madison, WI) and mRNA. Correspondingly labeled Cy3 and Cy5 cDNA products were combined and purified on a size exclusion column, concentrated by ethanol precipitation and resuspended in hybridization buffer. Probes were added between two subarray slides and developed as described (Yue et al.2001, NAR. 29:e41).   Microarrays were scanned on a GenePix 4000A scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA) at 535 nm. Signal intensities were initially stored and analyzed using GEMTools software (Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto CA).  Background corrections were done by calculating the average Cy3/Cy5 signal to produce a balanced coefficient (Yue et al., 2001). Further corrections for non-uniform conditions during array printing and/or hybridization were performed using Qualifier software (Novation Bioscience, Palo Alto CA).
