The DYKDDDDK Tag Panel contains two nucleosomes - one has an H3 tail fusion to a 3xDYKDDDDK Tag epitope and one is an unmodified control. Both octamers are wrapped with two uniquely barcoded DNA templates (A and B). Each 250 bp DNA template contains a 123 bp 601 nucleosome positioning sequence (gray) [1], a unique 22 bp DNA-barcode (white; 4 barcodes total), and a 5’ biotin-TEG. The 5’ and 3’ linkers (blue) are compatible with cleavage by pAG-MNase (EpiCypher 14-1048, 15-1016) during CUT&RUN. The nucleosomes are individually pre-conjugated to paramagnetic beads and pooled for convenient use.

reactions targeting FLAG-tagged proteins

CUT&RUN was performed as described in Figure 5. CUT&RUN sequencing reads were aligned to the unique DNA barcodes corresponding to each nucleosome in the SNAP-CUTANA™ DYKDDDDK Tag Panel. Data are expressed as a percent relative to on-target recovery (DYKDDDDK Tag set to 100%) or total counts (IgG). IgG antibody results demonstrate equal loading of unmodified and epitope nucleosomes in the panel. DYKDDDDK Tag antibody results show selective enrichment of the DYKDDDDK Tag spike-in nucleosomes, validating all CUT&RUN steps, including DYKDDDDK antibody binding, pAG-MNase cleavage, and wash conditions.

Figure 3: DNA gel data

Nucleosomes in the SNAP-CUTANA™ DYKDDDDK Tag Panel were resolved via native PAGE and stained with ethidium bromide to confirm intact nucleosome assembly. Lane 1: Free 250 bp DNA used in nucleosome assembly (100 ng). Lane 2: Intact nucleosomes (400 ng).

Figure 4: Protein gel data

Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE gel of the nucleosome containing a 3xDYKDDDDK-H3 fusion (1 μg) in the SNAP-CUTANA DYKDDDDK Tag Panel demonstrates the purity of histones in the preparation. Sizes of molecular weight markers and positions of the core histones (H2A, H2B, 3xDYKDDDDK-H3, and H4) are indicated.

Figure 5: CUT&RUN methods

CUT&RUN was performed on 500k MDA-MB-231 native cells stably expressing 3xFLAG-tagged GATA3 [1]** using the CUTANA™ ChIC/CUT&RUN Kit v3 (EpiCypher 14-1048). SNAP-CUTANA™ DYKDDDDK Tag Panel was added just prior to the addition of either DYKDDDDK Tag (0.05 μg; EpiCypher 13-2031) or IgG negative control (0.5 μg; EpiCypher 13-0042) antibodies. Library preparation was performed with 5 ng of DNA (or the total amount recovered if less than 5 ng) using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Library Prep Kit (EpiCypher 14-1001/14-1002). Libraries were run on an Illumina NextSeq2000 with paired-end sequencing (2x50 bp). Data were aligned to the hg19 genome using Bowtie2. Data were filtered to remove duplicates, multi-aligned reads, and ENCODE DAC Exclusion List regions.
