“…( 68 ) and Okada and Fukagawa ( 69 ) respectively, with the following modifications. Formaldehyde-crosslinked cells ( 36 , 40 , 43 ) were sequentially lysed following Métivier's protocol ( 68 ). Nuclei were resuspended in HDG150 buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 150 mM KCl, 10% glycerol, 0.5 mM DTT, 10 mM NaF, 10 μg/ml leupeptin, 10 μg/ml aprotinin, 0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) and sonicated six times for 20 s on a Branson Sonifier 250 (output 3, 50% duty cycle).…”
