 * &#x2713; ChIP: Western for myc & control IP samples
 * &#x2713; Western: protein preps for Pc-ATF lines 128-8.3, 127-4 (130-7 showed no RFP in dox sample, discarded)
 * &#x2713; Transfection (prep): refresh ab-free medium for FTRx H3me3 colony picks (reporter test: transfect w/ Gal4-VP64 tomorrow)

ChIP: wash, elute, Western blot > Wash & elute IP (Keep everything on ice ) --> Prepare washing buffer (6 mL complete sonication buffer plus PLAAC, PMSF, detergent, salts, etc.). --> Spin down beads at 3000 rpm/ 4°C --> Save 50 μL supernatant. Discard remaining sup. Wash beads in 500 μL wash buffer. --> Save 50 μL wash 1 sup. Discard remaining sup. Wash beads in 500 μL wash buffer. --> Save 50 μL wash 2 sup. Discard remaining sup. Wash beads in 500 μL wash buffer. --> Discard sup. and wash once more (4 washes total). --> Add 10 μL 4x loading dye to each pellet. Heat at 100°C/ 5 min., vortex, heat again. --> Clear supernatant by spinning at 4000 rpm/ 2 min. Transfer 10 μL sup to new tube (for Western).

> Western blot loading > Sup, wash, & input samples: 18.75 protein + 6.25 4x buffer > Use 4x loading dye (Invitrogen) w/ BME (400 μL loading dye + 40 μL BME) > Use 10-well gel (loading volume = 25 μL) > Electroblot: 1 hr. 15 min.

> Block: 5% milk/PBST, R.T./1 hr. > Primary staining: 5% BSA/PBST, 4°C/o.n. --> rabbit α-myc ab9106, 1:1000, 5 mL

7/01/10 > Secondary staining: 5% milk/PBST, R.T./ 1 hr. --> donkey α-rabbit, 1:5000, 5 mL
