Growth protocol
LCL 721 cells were cultured for five passages (Px5) in RPMI 1640 medium at 37°C and 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator. Medium was supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated foetal bovine serum, 5 mM L-glutamine and 100 units/ml penicillin-streptomycin.

Extraction protocol
1x10E8 cells (cell density 0.4x10E6 cells/ml) were pelleted by centrifugation (1200 rpm, 5 min), washed with PBS, and the pellet was resuspended in 36 ml of PBS (all steps at room temperature). Cells were fixed by adding 4 ml of a freshly prepared 10% formaldehyde solution (10% formaldehyde, 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM EGTA, 50 mM Hepes-KOH pH 8.0). Cross-linking was done for 9 min at room temperature, followed by quenching with 125 mM glycine, with immediate transfer of the cell suspension to and 5 min incubation on ice. Cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS and sequentially lysed by resuspending the cell pellet in 5 ml of ice-cold ChIP lysis buffer 1 (50 mM Hepes-KOH pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM EGTA, 10% glycerol, 0.5% NP40, 0.25% Triton X-100, freshly added 1x protease inhibitor cocktail) and 10 min rotation at 4°C. Cells were collected by centrifugation (4000 rpm, 10 min, 4°C), followed by resuspension in 5 ml of ice-cold ChIP lysis buffer 2 (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM EGTA, freshly added 1x protease inhibitor cocktail) and 10 min rotation at 4°C. After centrifugation (4000 rpm, 10 min, 4°C), the pellet was resuspended in 3 ml of ice-cold ChIP lysis buffer 3 (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, freshly added 0.5% N-lauryl sarcosine, 0.1% sodium deoxycholate and 1x protease inhibitor cocktail). Acid-washed glass beads (212-300 microns) were added, and the crosslinked chromatin was sheared to an average size of 300 bp by 6 min sonication (40% power output, with pulses set to 30 sec ON / 10 sec OFF) in an ice-water bath using a Branson 250-D sonicator and a microtip. After sonication, Triton X-100 was added to 0.5% final concentration, and the lysate was centrifuged (5500 rpm, 5 min, 4°C) to remove cell debris. The chromatin extract was pre-cleared with 100 µl blocked (pre-absorbed with PBS/0.5% BSA) protein A/G sepharose beads for 2 h at 4°C, quantified in a UV spectrophotometer and diluted to 1 mg/ml and 0.25% N-lauryl sarcosine. 500 µl of the chromatin extract were used per single ChIP reaction in lubricated tubes in a total volume of 1000 µl. The extract was incubated overnight at 4°C with 50 µl blocked protein A/G sepharose beads which had been pre-adsorbed with 10 µg of antibody. Immune complexes were collected by centrifugation (3000 rpm, 1 min, 4°C) and washed six times with 1 ml of ice-cold ChIP wash buffer (50 mM Hepes-KOH pH 7.4, 500 mM LiCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% NP40, 0.7% sodium deoxycholate, freshly added 0.5x protease inhibitor cocktail) and one time with 1x TE (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA) containing 50 mM NaCl. The protein-DNA complexes were eluted from the beads by adding 200 µl ChIP elution buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 10 mM EDTA, 1% SDS) and incubation at 65°C under constant agitation for 10 min. After removal of beads by centrifugation (6000 rpm, 5 min, room temperature), the supernatant was incubated at 65°C overnight to revert the cross-links. Then, the sample was diluted to 400 µl with 1x TE. 8 µg of RNAse A were added and the sample was incubated for 1 hour at 37°C, followed by addition of proteinase K to 250 µg/ml and digestion for 2 hours at 55°C. Genomic DNA was isolated from the precipitated material as well as from the sheared chromatin input (1% of the material used for ChIP) by phenol extraction and ethanol precipitation.

Description
TFIIB_Px5
Data processing
Data were processed by NimbleGen according to standard procedures (see http://www.nimblegen.com). Each of the 24,134 human promoter regions is represented by a probe set consisting of 15x 50-mer individual oligonucleotide probes on the array. The median of the scaled log2 ChIP/input ratio of each probe set provides a measure for promoter occupancy. For each feature a log2 ratio of the hybridization intensities of the cohybridized ChIP-enriched sample (Cy5 channel) and non-enriched input sample (Cy3 channel) was determined. These ratios were scaled to center the data around zero by robust statistics. Specifically, scaling was performed by subtracting Tukey's bi-weight mean for the log2 ratios of all array features from each individual log2 ratio.
