The formation of heterochromatin at HML, HMR, and telomeres in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves two main steps: Recruitment of Sir proteins to silencers and their spread throughout the silenced domain. For the following datasets, we created a fusion protein between the heterochromatin protein Sir3 and the non-site-specific bacterial adenine methyltransferase M.EcoGII, with or without a 3xV5 epitope at the C-terminus. We performed ChIP-seq experiments (immunoprecipitated Sir3-M.EcoGII-3xV5) and MeDIP-seq experiments (immunoprecipitated m6A methylated DNA). We also used a temperature-sensitive allele of SIR3 (sir3-8) fused to M.ECOGII to induce m6A methylation for MeDIP-seq. Overall design: 32 samples total (24 in initial submission, 8 more in resubmission). Input and IP data for each experiment are included. Less...
