Fig. 1

a Comparison between compartment score and H3K9me2 enrichment in 80-kb bin. RPKM of H3K9me2 from WT mESCs is negatively correlated with compartment score. Darker blue represents higher dot density. b, c Comparison between compartment score in WT mESCs and changes in H3K9me2 in Setdb1 KO (b) or Suv39h1/2 DKO (c) mESCs in 80-kb bins. Decreased H3K9me2 is observed in the A and B compartments in Setdb1 KO and Suv39h1/2 DKO mESCs, respectively. d A representative view of H3K9me2 domains in WT mESCs identified by Hiddendomains. Top panel, H3K9me2 ChIP-seq data from WT mESCs; middle panel, H3K9me2 domains; bottom panel, compartment score in 80-kb bins. e Fractions of H3K9me2 domains in the A or B compartments. Although H3K9me2 domains are more enriched in the B compartments than in the A compartments, H3K9me2 also occupies about half of the A compartments. f Length of H3K9me2 domains in each KO mESCs to WT mESCs. The length of H3K9me2 domains in the A compartments is slightly decreased in Setdb1 KO mESCs, whereas that is increased in Suv39h1/2 DKO mESCs. g A correlation matrix of H3K9me2 ChIP-seq data in mESCs. UNC0642-treated mESCs form a cluster distinct from untreated mESCs. Among UNC0642-treated mESCs, Setdb1 KO mESCs show a different H3K9me2 profile. h, i A comparison between compartment score in WT mESCs and changes in H3K9me2 in Setdb1 KO (h) or Suv39h1/2 DKO (i) mESCs treated with UNC0642. j A representative view of H3K9me2 ChIP-seq from G9a/GLP DKO and UNC0642-treated mESCs (chr6:73,266,079-91,207,724). G9a/GLP DKO mESCs show an H3K9me2 profile similar to UNC0642-treated mESCs. A drastic loss of H3K9me2 domains in UNC0642-treated Setdb1 KO mESCs in the A compartments (circled in red). k Heatmaps of H3K9me2 enrichment around G9a/GLP-independent H3K9me2 regions. The A compartment-specific H3K9me2 loss is observed in UNC0642-treated Setdb1 KO mESCs. l Fractions of conserved or lost G9a/GLP-independent H3K9me2 in Setdb1 KO or Suv39h1/2 DKO mESCs treated with UNC0642. m H3K9me2 ChIP-qPCR analysis in regions shown in Fig. S1o. ChIP was performed 5 days after 4-OHT treatment in Setdb1 KO mESCs and 7 days after 4-OHT treatment in Setdb1/Suv39h1/2 TKO mESCs. H3K9me2 in the region 1 and 2 is completely lost in UNC0642-treated TKO mESCs. Data are mean ± SEM; n = 3.
