Identification of Fam60a-interacting proteins in mouse embryos.

(A) Nuclear lysates prepared under three different conditions from E10.5 embryos harboring the Fam60a::Venus transgene were subjected to immunoprecipitation with bead-coupled antibodies to GFP that either had (control) or had not been previously exposed to recombinant GFP. Proteins that bound to the beads were then fractionated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and revealed by silver staining. Proteins that bound nonspecifically to the beads are indicated by asterisks, and the identity of those that bound specifically was determined by mass spectrometry. The bead-bound proteins were also subjected to immunoblot (IB) analysis with antibodies to GFP for detection of Fam60a-Venus. (B) Nuclear extracts of E10.5 WT embryos, undifferentiated P19 cells, or E10.5 embryos harboring the Fam60a::Venus transgene were subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) with bead-coupled anti-Fam60a, anti-GFP, or control rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG), as indicated, and the resulting precipitates were subjected to immunoblot analysis with antibodies to Sin3a, to Hdac1, and to Hdac2 (upper panel). The nuclear extracts (Input) as well as the material that bound nonspecifically to beads before exposure to the antibodies used for immunoprecipitation (Preclear) were also subjected to immunoblot analysis. Alternatively, nuclear extracts of E10.5 WT embryos were subjected to immunoprecipitation with antibodies to Sin3a, to Hdac1, to Hdac2, or to the FLAG epitope (control), and the resulting precipitates were subjected to immunoblot analysis with antibodies to Fam60a (lower panel). See also Figure 3—figure supplement 1 to 3.

(B–I) Morphology of visceral organs in WT (B, D, F, H) and Fam60a–/– (C, E, G, I) embryos at E18.5. Frontal views of the heart show that the aorta (ao) and pulmonary artery (pa) are positioned in parallel in the mutant embryo (B and C). Right side views of the lungs show that lung lobulation is incomplete in the mutant (arrowhead) (D and E). Left side views of the spleen show severe aplasia in the mutant embryo (arrowhead) (F and G).

Heatmaps with DNA methylation levels over Fam60a-bound promoters.

A methylation profile of Fam60a-bound promoter regions is shown for wild-type and Fam60a-/- embryos. A Fam60a-bound promoter region was defined as a 10 kb region between 5 kb upstream and 5 kb downstream of a Fam60a ChIP-seq peak summit. For the methylation value of each CpG, the mean of triplicates was used. The heatmap was plotted by EnrichedHeatmap (Gu et al., 2018) of Bioconductor package with following parameters: bin size = 50 bp, mean mode = absolute, and smoothing = on. The center of the heatmap indicates the peak summits of Fam60a-bound regions obtained from the ChIP-seq experiments. Regions containing hypomethylated CpGs are shown in blue. The line plots above the heatmap summarizes the enrichment of DNA methylation. Note that most of Fam60a-bound promoter regions are hypomethylated, and there is no obvious difference in the heatmap between wild-type and Fam60a-/- embryos.
