Cotranscriptional Recruitment of Rpd3C(S) Is Independent of H3K36 Methylation and Eaf3
(A) Location of primers for ChIP analysis of ARG1.
(B–F) Occupancies of Rpd3-myc, Dep1-myc, and Rco1-myc at ARG1 were measured by ChIP in the indicated strains cultured in SC medium and treated with sulfometuron methyl (SM) for 30 min to induce Gcn4. Crosslinked chromatin was immunoprecipitated with anti-myc antibodies, and DNA from immunoprecipitated (IP) and input samples was subjected to PCR in the presence of [33P]dATP to amplify radiolabeled fragments of ARG1 or the POL1 ORF, analyzed as a control, which were resolved by PAGE and quantified by phosphorimaging. Ratios of ARG1 to POL1 signals in IP samples were normalized to the ratios for Input samples to yield occupancy values.
(G) Occupancies of Rco1-myc at the 3′ ORF regions of STE11 and FLO8 measured by ChIP in the indicated strains.
(H and I) Occupancies of acetylated H4 (H4Ac) and total H3 at the 3′ ORFs of STE11, FLO8, and ARG1 were measured by ChIP in cells grown in YEPD, using primers for these genes and nontranscribed sequences at the right-arm telomere of VI (TEL VI) (H) or POL1 (I).
(J) H4Ac occupancies from (H) normalized for total H3 (I). All error bars represent the standard error of the mean (SEM). For Rpb3 occupancies in TATAΔ and set2Δ, see Figure S1A. Immunoprecipitations were conducted in duplicate on at least two chromatin samples prepared from replicate cultures, and the PCR analysis of coprecipitated DNA sequences was conducted in duplicate or triplicate for each immunoprecipitated sample.

(F) WCEs of WT or set2Δ strains harboring RLI1-myc or RCO1-myc cultured in YEPD were immunoprecipitated with anti-myc antibodies, and immune complexes were probed by western blot (WB) with antibodies against Ser5P (H14), hypophosphorylated Rpb1 (8WG16), or histone H3. Input (In), supernatant (S), and pellet (P) fractions are marked. Two exposures are shown for the H14 blots.
(G) Top two panels: WCEs of isogenic KIN28 or kin28-ts16 strains harboring RCO1-myc, cultured in YEPD at 25°C and transferred to 37°C for 1 hr, were immunoprecipitated with anti-myc antibodies and immune complexes probed with the indicated antibodies. Bottom panels: same as the top except that anti-Rpb3 antibodies were used for immunoprecipitation.
(H) WCEs from KIN28 RCO1-myc or kin28-ts16 RCO1-myc cells cultured as in (G) were immunoprecipitated with anti-myc antibodies and probed with the indicated antibodies. CoIP experiments (F–H) were carried out twice using whole-cell extracts prepared from replicate cultures.
(I) Biotinylated CTD peptides (1.5 μg) unphosphorylated (CTD) or phosphorylated on Ser5 (Ser5P), Ser2 (Ser2P), or both residues (Ser2P Ser5P) were adsorbed to streptavidin-coated magnetic beads and incubated at 4°C with reconstituted Rpd3C(S) expressed in insect cells. Mock: incubations with beads alone. Bound (B) and unbound supernatant proteins (S) were subjected to SDS-PAGE and western analysis with anti-Flag or Rpd3 antibodies.
(J) Same as (H), except including CTD peptides with aspartic acid replacing Ser2 or Ser5. All error bars represent the SEM. For Rpb3 occupancies in kin28-ts, see Figures S1B and S1C. Immunoprecipitations were conducted in duplicate on at least two chromatin samples prepared from replicate cultures, and the PCR analysis of coprecipitated DNA sequences was conducted in duplicate or triplicate for each immunoprecipitated sample. Peptide binding experiments (I and J) were done at least twice.

Histone Acetylation and H3 Occupancy at Constitutively Expressed Genes and a Model for Rpd3C(S) Recruitment by the Phospho-CTD and Methylated H3 Tails
(A–D) Occupancies of H3Ac/H3 (A and C, ∗∗p value < 0.005) and H3 (B and D) at PMA1 (A and B) and ADH1 (C and D) determined by ChIP.
(E) Model for two-stage cotranscriptional recruitment of Rpd3C(S). (1) Pol II is phosphorylated on Ser5 of the CTD by Kin28 during promoter clearance. Previous rounds of transcription leave ORF nucleosomes methylated on H3K4 by Set1, more heavily toward the 5′ end, and on H3K36 by Set2, more heavily toward the 3′ end. (2) Elongating Ser5-phosphorylated Pol II is phosphorylated on Ser2 by Bur1 and Ctk1, enabling efficient recruitment of Rpd3C(S) by direct interaction with Ser2,Ser5-diphosphorylated CTD repeats. Subsequently, Rpd3C(S) is transferred from the phospho-CTD to H3 tails by interaction of H3K36me2 with the chromodomain in Eaf3 and PHD finger in Rco1 (not depicted) for subsequent histone deacetylation. All error bars represent the SEM. Immunoprecipitations were conducted in duplicate on at least two chromatin samples prepared from replicate cultures, and the PCR analysis of coprecipitated DNA sequences was conducted in duplicate or triplicate for each immunoprecipitated sample.
