Detection of NICD heterodimer complexes on DNA. (A) 293T cells were transfected with combinations of FLAG-tagged N1ICD or N4ICD and FLAG- or HA-tagged binding NICD partners. ChIP was performed by two-step Co-IP with anti-FLAG then anti-HA antibodies. A positive control reaction was transfected with FLAG-tagged N1ICD alone and subjected to anti-FLAG Co-IP. A negative control reaction was transfected with HA-tagged N1ICD and subjected to anti-FLAG and anti-HA Co-IP. Hes1 and Hes4 promoter sequences were detected by PCR with antibodies flanking the head-to-head binding sites in each promoter. Shown is a representative image of a single experiment that was performed three independent times with similar results (B) 293T cells were transfected with combinations of FLAG-tagged N1ICD or N4ICD and FLAG- or HA-tagged binding NICD partners. ChIP was performed by two-step Co-IP with anti-FLAG then anti-HA antibodies. Positive control reactions (a and b) were transfected with FLAG-tagged N1ICD alone and subjected to anti-FLAG Co-IP. A negative control reaction (c) was transfected with HA-tagged N1ICD and subjected to anti-FLAG and anti-HA Co-IP. SPS 16 and SPS 21 promoter sequences were detected by PCR with antibodies flanking the head-to-head binding sites in each promoter. Shown is a representative image of a single experiment that was performed three independent times with similar results.
