m6A profiles in shCTRL, shMETTL3 HeLa cells

Cells were washed with cold PBS twice and scraped from the plates, then centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min to pellet cells. Washed cells were lysed with 400 ?L of cell lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.15% NP-40 and proteinase inhibitor cocktail) and incubated on ice for 10 min. The suspension was carefully add at the top of sucrose buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 24% sucrose), and centrifuged at 3200g for 10 min to collect nuclear pellets. Pellets were resuspended in 250 ?L of Glycerol buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH7.5, 75 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA pH8.0, 50% glycerol), then then immediately add 250 µl Nuclear lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 7.5 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM EDTA pH8.0, 1% NP-40, 1M urea). Mix by vortexing for 4 s and incubate on ice for 2 min. Centrifuge the lysate at 13,000 × g for 2 min to precipitate the chromatin–RNA complex. Brie?y rinse the chromatin pellets with PBS-EDTA. RNA was extracted with Trizol reagent. RNA libraries were prepared according to manual of SMARTer smRNA-Seq Kit for Illumina (Clontech, 635031). Overall design: Examination of m6A levels in zebrafish embryo.
