Description
Genomic sequences identified as putative polycomb response elements (silencers): regions of Rpd3 (HDAC1) or HDAC4 binding that overlap regions of His3 modification H3K27me3 but not H3K4me3. A synthesis of ChIP data sets; DNA sequences identified by genomic tiling array.

Sample preparation
Flies were cultivated in cages. Eggs were collected after a two hour pre-egg laying. Embryos of the desired age interval were collected and initially cross-linked in 1.8% formaldehyde for 15 minutes, then homogenized in buffered 1.8% formaladehyde and cross-linked for another 15 minutes. Cross-linked material was collected by centrifugation, washed, lysed and sonicated to an average size of 500bp.
Collection preparation
For each ChIP-chip experiment, pre-cleared chromatin was incubated with polyclonal antibodies specific to the target of interest. Two independent antibody preparations were used for ChIP of each HDAC. Commercial antibodies were used for ChIP of His3 modifications: Abcam, ab8580 (H3K4me3) and Upstate, 07-449 (H3K27me3). Antibody-bound chromatin was immunoprecipitated with protein-A beads. Input and immunoprecipitated DNA was reverse-cross-linked, purified, subjected to ligation mediated PCR for whole genome amplification and fluorescently labeled for microarray hybridization according to manufacturers' specifications.
Mode of assay
ChIP-chip
Assay platform
Affymetrix Drosophila Tiling 2.0R Array
Data analysis
Peak calling for ChIP-chip experiments was performed using MAT (Johnson et al. 2006. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 103(33): 12457-12462.). The union of Rpd3 (HDAC1) and HDAC4 peaks was filtered to remove those regions that overlap the His3 modification H3K4me3. The remaining HDAC1/HDAC4 sites that overlapped regions of H3K27me3 modification were taken to generate a list of 537 predicted silencers.
