Figure 4. Recruitment of serine-5 and serine-2 -phosphorylated RNA polymerase II at the cMYC promoter.
(A) Schematic presentation of cMYC promoter showing the transcription start site (TSS). The grey box represents the region (~150bp upstream of TSS) probed using real-time PCR following ChIP assay. (B) Recruitment of serine-2 phosphorylated RNA polymerase II and (C) serine-5 phosphorylated RNA polymerase II was assessed by ChIP assay followed by real-time PCR in MCF7: and MCF7:5C cells. Values are represented as percent input of the starting chromatin, adjusted for control IgM recruitment for each sample. (* p<.05 versus MCF7 cells) (D) Total protein levels of serine-2 and serine-5 phosphorylated RNA polymerase II in MCF7 and MCF7:5C cells.
