Figure Legend Snippet: MAB-seq strategy and quantitative mapping of active DNA demethylation ( a ) Schematic diagram of MAB-seq. DNMT methylates unmodified C to generate 5mC, which can be successively oxidized by TET to generate 5hmC/5fC/5caC. Highly oxidized cytosine derivatives, 5fC and 5caC, are repaired by TDG/BER to regenerate unmodified C. ( b ) M.SssI exhibits robust methylase activity towards unmodified cytosines within CpGs, but has significantly lower activity for cytosines in non-CpG contexts (CHG or CHH, H=A, T, C). M.SssI methylase activity was measured by MAB-seq analysis (Illumina deep sequencing) of unmethylated lambda DNA. Standard bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) confirmed nearly complete conversion of unmethylated C to T at CpG and non-CpG sites. ( c ) Locus-specific MAB-seq analysis of 5fC/5caC at Tbx5 by Illumina sequencing in control ( shCtrl ) and Tdg knockdown ( shTdg ) mouse ESCs. For comparison, also shown are 5fC/5caC antibody DNA immunoprecipitation (DIP) based maps of 5fC and 5caC in control and Tdg -depleted mouse ESCs. DIP-seq tracks are represented in normalized read density (reads per 10 million reads, rp10m) and the vertical axis range of all DIP-seq tracks is from 1 to 25. Black horizontal bars denote 5fC/5caC-enriched regions identified by 5fC/5caC DIP-seq. The level of 5fC/5caC (only Watson strand shown) is displayed as the percentage of total C modified as 5fC/5caC, and background signals detected in Tet1/2 −/− mouse ESCs was subtracted.

Shown are 5fC/5caC levels (background corrected using raw MAB-seq signals in Tet1/2 −/− ) of 11 CpG sites from the Tbx5 locus in shCtrl, shCtrl +VC, shTdg and shTdg +VC mouse ESCs. shTdg was compared with shCtrl while shTdg +VC was compared with shCtrl +VC.

Figure Legend Snippet: Methylation of the CpG island in the Aldh1a2 promoter prohibits Sp1 to activate the promoter, whereas the Aldh1a2 promoter is largely unmethylated in BM-pDCs as well as in BM-cDCs. ( A ) pCpGL-basic and pCpGL-RALDH2 (−873) reporter vectors were methylated with 1.25 µg of M.SssI. COS-7 cells were transfected with methylated or unmethylated pCpGL-basic or pCpGL-RALDH2 (−873) reporter vector in combination with or without the 0.5 µg of pCMV-Myc-Sp1 expression vector. One day after transfection, luciferase activity was measured. Relative promoter activities were calculated by arbitrarily defining the activity of pCpGL-basic alone as 1.

One day after transfection, cell lysates were analyzed for DNA binding activity by DNAP assay using DNA Probe B and Probe C methylated with M.SssI or left unmethylated. The bound proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE followed by Western blotting with anti-Myc Ab.

Figure Legend Snippet: Methylation status interfered the Sp1 binding to the CD147 gene promoter and inhibited CD147 transcriptional activity in vitro . (A) Methylation status interfered the Sp1 binding to the CD147 gene promoter in vitro . The binding of Sp1 to the CD147 gene promoter was determined by electrophoretic mobility shift analysis (EMSA). By using biotin-labelled 30-bp double-stranded oligonucleotides containing wild, mutated or methylated Sp1-binding sites as probes, EMSAs were performed with the same amount of nuclear extracts from HepG2 cells, and the products were separated on a 5% polyacrylamide gel (lanes 2–7). Lane 1, free probe; lane 2, biotin-labelled wild-type Sp1 consensus oligonucleotides were mixed with nuclear proteins; lane 3, the same reaction was performed as that in lane 2, except for the presence of a 100-fold excess of unlabelled wild-type Sp1 consensus oligonucleotides as a competitor; lanes 4, binding assays of biotin-labelled mutant-type Sp1 consensus oligonucleotides mixed with nuclear proteins; lanes 5–6, 1 μg each of IgG and anti-Sp1 antibody were added to the binding reaction mixtures with biotin-labelled wild-type probe; lane 7, binding assays of biotin-labelled methylated Sp1 consensus oligonucleotides mixed with nuclear proteins.

![... of the experimental setup for the analysis of CpG methylation patterns. The KSHV episome in infected cells ... Experimental design of MeDIP analysis. A : Schematic representation of the experimental setup for the analysis of CpG methylation patterns. The KSHV episome in infected cells is expected to be partially methylated, as indicated by black and white circles which symbolize methylated or unmethylated CpG dinucleotides, respectively. Genomic DNA was isolated from such cells and the samples were subjected to immunoprecipitation using a methylcytidine specific antibody (MeDIP procedure), followed by hybridization of the precipitated samples versus the input on tiling microarrays. For each probe, an enrichment score E S was calculated, which represents the ratio of MeDIP over input fluorescence signals. The efficiency of the immunoprecipitation depends on the total number of methylated CpG motifs in a given fragment and E S is thus a function of the extend of methylation as well as local CpG frequencies. Therefore, to obtain reference values which signify maximum methylation for each probe, we generated a positive control by subjecting KSHV bacmids to CpG methylation in vitro . The bacmid was mixed with cellular DNA to simulate the host background and subjected to the same MeDIP procedure as samples from infected cells. Similarly, a negative control of unmethylated bacmid was prepared to control for cross-hybridization of unspecific background. After normalization of the array data using a spike-in control (see Material Methods for details), background-corrected methylation values M S and M P were calculated for each probe by subtraction of the corresponding negative control value. B : Confirmation of successful in vitro methylation of KSHV bacmids used as a positive control. A bacmid carrying the complete KSHV genome (BAC36 [36] ) was methylated using M.SssI, a methyltransferase specific for CpG dinucleotides.
