Nucleolin is associated with active rDNA repeats. (A) ChIP input DNA and DNA precipitated by nucleolin or UBF antibody were digested with HpaII or MspI, or they were mock-digested. The relative levels of HpaII-resistant, methylated rDNA copies (grey bars) and unmethylated copies (white bars) were determined by QPCR with the pair of primers that flanks the HpaII/MspI site on the rDNA promoter as indicated in Figure 2A. (B) and (C) co-immunoprecipitation of endogenous nucleolin with active and repressive histone modification marks on coding (H8 primers) and 5′-end of the coding region (H42.9 primers) regions of rDNA, respectively. Re-ChIP experiments with anti-H3K4me3, H3K9me2 and H4K12Ac antibodies were performed after a first immuno-precipitation with anti-nucleolin antibody. Values are means ± SD (standard deviation) derived from three independent experiments, each tested by at least three independent QPCR reactions.
