ChIP-seq revealed that binding of insulator proteins to some specific DNA sites was regulated by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in S2 cells. Three insulator sites regulated by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation were used as baits to map their distant interacting sites using 4C assay in control S2 cells. Mapping the chromosomal interactions of three specific insulator binding sites with 4C assay in control S2 cells.

Validation experiments were carried out only on intra-chromosomal interactions between distant insulator binding sites. Briefly, interacting 4C sites (identified by the microarray) that contained CP190 and/or dCTCF (from ChIP-seq) were determined using Galaxy. These sites were then ranked by their signal strength (defined by peak height and width). At least 50 interacting 4C sites from each bait and verified were subjected to PCR using site-specific primers in multiple 3C libraries. The map illustrated in Figure 5 showed only 4C interactions that are verified by site-specific primers in multiple 3C libraries. ID_REF = VALUE = normalized ratio Cy5/Cy3 Labeling was performed by the FSU-NimbleGen Microarray Facility according to the NimbleGen protocol. Hybridization was performed by the FSU-NimbleGen Microarray Facility according to the NimbleGen protocol. Libraries prepared with 4C protocol (Gondor et. al., Nature Protocol, 2008.) using DpnII. DNA were ligated and subjected to 2 separate rounds on inverse PCR using specific primers pair. Genomic DNA cut with DpnII Cells were cultured in Schneider's medium with 10% HI FBS. 4C libraries were prepared from S2-DRSC cells using DpnII enzymes according to Gondor et. al., Nature Protocol 2008 and Ong et. al., Cell 2013. The detailed protocol is described in the following steps: 1. 25 million S2-DRSC cells were centrifuged for 5 min at 1000 rpm. The cell pellet was resuspended with 10 ml of fresh medium. Cells were fixed by adding 278 M-NM-
