Figure S1. Additional families showing SGK2 and GDAP1L1 are paternally expressed. Family
studies demonstrate that SGK2 and GDAP1L1 are expressed from the paternally derived allele in T
cells and erythroblasts respectively. These cell types were chosen because they express readily
detectable levels of SGK2 and GDAP1L1 respectively. Family 1 can be found in Figure 1. The
expressed allele is indicated by an arrow.
Figure S2. The L3MBTL1 gene cluster shows biallelic expression in mouse and wallaby but
predominantly monoallelic expression in the macaque. A Expression analysis in mouse tissue.
Sequences are shown for SNPs in exon 6 of L3MBTL1 (rs27347041), exon 6 of SGK2 (rs27331555)
and exon 5 of GDAP1L1 (rs28243099), each experiment was performed twice, representative traces
are shown. BM, bone marrow; PBMNC, peripheral blood mononuclear cells. B Expression analysis in
the Wallaby. Head and yolk sac membrane cDNA were analysed in four animals, a representative
animal is shown. C L3MBTL1 and SGK2 show polymorphic tissue-specific monoallelic expression in
the macaque (Macaca fascicularis). Two representative animals are shown. M1-male 1, F4/5 –
females 4 (for the kidney and liver samples) and 5 (for the blood sample), at least three SNPs were
tested for each gene per tissue from each animal; a representative trace is shown per tissue. Arrows
indicate the position of the SNP; WBC, white blood cells. D Phylogenetic tree demonstrating the
evolutionary relationships between species studied, MYA, million years ago.
Figure S3. Characterization of L3MBTL1 antisense transcript and microsatellite quantitation of
20q deletion. A Diagram of the genomic region between human L3MBTL1 and SGK2 demonstrating
genomic arrangement, putative promoters and alternatively spliced isoforms of L3MBTL1 around
exons 11-13, with corresponding encoded mRNAs and proteins annotated with known domains.
MBT, malignant brain tumour repeat; C2HC, C2HC-type Zinc Finger domain; SAM, Sterile Alpha
Motif. Arrows indicate locations for primers A, B and C for different mRNA transcripts, and P3 and
11
P5 between which lies the start point of the L3MBTL1 antisense RNA. B Characterization of
L3MBTL1 antisense RNA. Strand specific cDNAs for the sense and antisense strands were analysed
by RT-PCR. Controls are a primer control lacking template, indicating no template independent
amplification, and RT- control (reverse transcriptase minus), indicating no DNA contamination of the
RNA. C Stand specific RT-PCR and sequencing of sense and antisense transcript from K562 and a
normal informative individual. L3MBTL1 exon 24 expression is detected with a SNP in K562
(rs6124571) and normal PB granulocytes (rs6030948). D Strand specific quantitative RT-PCR for
antisense RNA on two normal individuals and two patient samples, one 20q normal cell line (K562)
and one 20q del cell line (HNT-34) using primer set for L3MBTL1 antisense RNA in exon 18 region
and cDNA synthesis using primer L3MBTL1-AS-P2 and ABL cDNA exon 4 primer. E Microsatellite
PCR analysis of Patient 6, MDS (RAEB 2) with 20q deletion in bone marrow (BM) sample compared
to peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMNC) cells control (Con). At least 3 microsatellites were
analysed per patient, representative traces shown. The percentages of cells carrying the deletion were
calculated as described in the materials and methods. Arrows indicate the allele lost.
Figure S4. Microsatellite quantitation and expression analysis to characterise hematopoietic
colonies carrying the 20q deletion. A Patient 11, MPN (ET) with 20q deletion in granulocytes
(Gran), compared to peripheral blood T cells control, and representative traces for each marker from
BFU-E colonies with deletion (n=9). The percentages of granulocytic cells carrying the deletion were
calculated as described in the materials and methods. Arrows indicate the allele lost. Note the
complete loss of the deleted allele in the colony-derived samples. Expression of imprinted genes in
hematopoietic colonies from B, normal individuals and C-E, from patients 8, 9, 12, 13 and 14. E,
BFU-E colonies; GM, CFU-GM colonies. Each point represents the mean of two PCR technical
replicates for a single colony. C Patient 8, CFU-GM colonies; D Patient 9, BFU-E colonies; E Patient
12, BFU-E colonies; F Patient 13, BFU-E colonies; G Patient 14, CFU-GM colonies; H Patient 14,
BFE-U colonies. See also figure 4.

Figure S5. Cooperative and compensatory effects of L3MBTL1 and SGK2 on erythroid and
megakaryocytic differentiation. A L3MBTL1 and SGK2 expression kinetics during in vitro CD34+
cord blood erythroid ( ) and megakaryocytic differentiation ( ). B Quantitative RT PCR for
expression of L3MBTL1 and SGK2 following infection of CD34+ cord blood cells with shRNAs
against L3MBTL1 (L3-shRNA1 and L3-shRNA2) and SGK2 (S2-shRNA1 and S2-shRNA2) at day 4
of differentiation. Expression levels relative to ABL were normalized to results obtained using
scrambled control shRNA. C Differentiation of cord blood CD34+ cells. Effect on erythroid
(CD71+GPA+) or megakaryocytic (CD41+CD61+) cell number of shRNA-mediated knockdown of
L3MBTL1 (L3-shRNA2 ), SGK2 (S2-shRNA2 ) or scrambled control (Scr-shRNA ). Each
data point is the mean of three independent cord blood differentiation experiments each performed in
triplicate. Error bars indicate standard error of the mean (SEM), **, p<0.01 relative to scramble
control. D Quantitative RT-PCR for expression of and globins (HBA and HBB) in day 4 infected
cells (GFP+) cells in erythroid differentiation conditions. E Quantitative RT-PCR for glycoprotein IX
(gpIX) expression in day 4 infected cells (GFP+) in megakaryocytic differentiation conditions. See
also figure 5.
Figure S6: Cooperative effect of knocking down L3MBTL1 and SGK2 on erythropoiesis. Bi-
phasic erythroid culture of CD34+ cells (see legend to Figure 4D). A Effect on percentage of CD71+ or
GPA+ cells of shRNA-mediated knockdown of L3MBTL1 (L3-shRNA1 ), SGK2 (S2-shRNA1 ),
L3MBTL1 and SGK2 (L3+S2-shRNA ) or scrambled control (Scr-shRNA ). B Lentiviral
infected erythroid progenitor cells (GFP+CD71+ or GFP+CFP+CD71+) were analysed for proliferation
at day 8 of phase I differentiation. Representative FACS profiles showing BrdU/7AAD analysis of
infected erythroid progenitor cells (GFP+CD71+ or GFP+CFP+CD71+). Percentage of cells in S-phase;
presented here as the histogram summarising results from three independent experiments each

SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS
Patients and samples
50ml of peripheral blood was collected from 12 patients with informed consent into an ethically
approved research study at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, UK; Belfast City Hospital, Belfast,
UK; King’s College Hospital, London, UK; Derriford Hosptial, Plymouth, UK; Hôpital Avicenne and
Hôpital St Louis, Paris, France and Karolinska University Hosptial, Stockholm, Sweden. Diagnoses of
myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia
(AML) and their subtypes were made according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria (2).
Cell fractions were obtained with Ficoll separation followed by magnetic bead isolation from
mononuclear cells of T cells using CD2 Dynabeads (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK) and CD34+ cells using
MACS CD34 selection kit (Miltenyi Biotech); and granulocytes. Mature cell population purities were
95% or higher and were confirmed by cytospin or counting of cells attached to beads in a
hemocytometer.
For granulocyte or bone marrow gene expression analysis, RNA samples were available from 6
individuals. Peripheral blood granulocyte samples were obtained from three patients with
polycythemia vera (PV, patients 1-3), one with primary myelofibrosis (PMF, patient 4) and one with
chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML, patient 5). A bone marrow sample with 20q deletion in
all cells was from patient 6 who had refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB). All were shown
to have >98% 20q deletion in these samples by microsatellite PCR for at least three different markers
per individual. Samples were obtained from 8 additional patients with less than 95% deletion in
granulocytes, for colony analysis. The diagnoses of these patients were: refractory cytopenias with
multi-lineage dysplasia (RCMD, patients 7 and 9), unclassified MDS (patient 8), chronic myeloid
leukemia (CML, patient 10), essential thrombocythemia (ET, patients 11, 13 and 14), and PV
19
transformed to AML (patient 12). For mutation screening, granulocyte DNA was available from 15
samples with MPN (8 PV, 4 PMF and 3 unclassified MPN), and 8 with MDS (5 Refractory anemia
(RA), 1 RAEB, 2 unclassified MDS), with 20q deletion demonstrated by microsatellite PCR present
in at least 90% of cells (3); (4); (5). An additional 19 bone marrow DNA samples from PV patients
without 20q abnormality were available as described before (1).
Fluorescence In situ Hybridization (FISH)
FISH was performed on cell lines as described previously (6), using the probes 20ptel (Abbott Vysis)
and RP11-1108D11 which contains the JPH2 and GDAP1L1 genes (GeneService Ltd, Cambridge,
UK). 20 metaphases were scored for each cell line, and copy number of the CDR (in figure 3A) as
indicated by the number of RP11-1108D11 signals was recorded as the primary 20q karyotype in the
majority of metaphases analysed. In cell lines HEL, SET-2 and 293T, two signals were scored on the
same chromosome in each metaphase analysed, In the cell line K562, 20ptel and CDR signals were
seen on the same chromosome once, and separated onto different chromosomes, suggesting a
translocation event centromeric of the CDR. In the cell lines UKE-1 and HNT-34, FISH showed one
chromosome 20 with signals for both probes, but the other chromosome 20 had just the 20ptel signal,
with no other CDR signals seen on other chromosomes. In the cell line CMK, the karyotype was
complex, with four signals for both the 20ptel and the CDR probe on different chromosomes, with the
20ptel probe always at the end of small chromosomes, and the CDR probe always close to the
centromere on small chromosomes, suggesting translocation events have occurred followed by
duplication of the translocated chromosomes.
Bi-phasic erythroid differentiation assay
A bi-phasic erythroid differentiation method was modified from van den Akker et al (7). Briefly,
100,000 CD34+ cells/condition were cultured for 14 days in StemSpan® (Stem Cell Technologies)
20
medium supplemented with SCF (100ng/ml, Peprotech), Erythropoietin (2U/ml NeoRecormon®),
Dexamethasone (1µM, Sigma-Aldrich), Insulin-like growth factor-1 (40ng/ml, R&D Systems), and
Cholesterol rich lipids (40µg/ml Sigma-Aldrich). After 14 days in culture, cells were flow-sorted for
GFP+ and/or CFP+ and CD71+ expression and transferred to the second phase culture medium
comprising of StemSpan medium supplemented with 3% human AB serum (Sigma-Aldrich),
Erythropoietin (10U/ml, Insulin (10µg/ml, R&D), Insulin-like growth factor-1 (40ng/ml), and iron
saturated transferrin (0.5mg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich). In both cultures, cells were counted and
supplementary fresh medium was added every second day with FACS analysis for infection and
differentiation.
Long term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) assay
LTC-IC assays were performed as described previously (8) with slight modification. Briefly, cord
blood CD34+ cells infected with lentivirus and co-cultured for 5 weeks with feeder cells producing
human IL-3, SCF, IL-6 and Flt-3l, with media change every week. After 5 weeks, infected cells flow
sorted and used for CFC assay performed using MethoCult H4435 (StemCell Technologies) number
and types of colonies formed were scored at day 14.
Single Cell Clonality Assay
Single cell assays were performed as described before (9). Briefly, 50ml peripheral blood was
obtained from consented and informed patients. Mononuclear cells were isolated by density
centrifugation of 1:1 PBS diluted blood on Lymphoprep® (Axis-Shield Biotech). Mononuclear cells
washed with PBS were used for MACS purification of CD34+ cells using CD34-positive selection kit
(Human CD34-EasySep Positive selection Kit, StemCell Technology). Isolated CD34+ cells cultured
as with Serum Free Expansion Medium (SFEM, StemCell Technology) and with 1X StemSpan
CC110 (StemCell Technology) and 1X Pen/Strep on a 24-well Fibronactin coated plate (BD BioCoat)
21
pre-coated with concentrated retrovirus (retroviral preparation described below). Cells were spin
infected for 30 minutes with retrovirus at 25oC at 2500 rpm. 72 Hours post infection, infected viable
cells were FACS sorted (7AAD-, GFP+ and/or CFP+) to give one single cell per well in 96 well
round bottom plates with Serum Free Expansion Medium containing, 1X Pen/Strep, 3U/ml Epo,
SCF25 ng/ml, -merceptoethanol 10nM, Dexamethasone 4g/ml. Clones were FACS analyzed for
GPA expression at day 8 post sorting, and half of the culture was taken for genotyping and MYC
expression analysis.
Cell culture of cell lines
All cell lines were obtained from commercial sources (www.dsmz.de). UKE-1 and HNT-34 are
derived from 20q deleted ET patient transformed into AML and MDS patient transformed into AML
respectively (10); (11). K562, HEL, SET2, CMK, and UKE-1 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640
(Sigma-Aldrich), supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (PAA Biotech) and 1%
Penicillin and streptomycin (Invitrogen). HNT-34 cells were cultured in RMPI 1640 (Sigma Aldrich),
20% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (PAA), and 1% penicillin and streptomycin (Invitrogen).
293T cells were cultured in DMEM (PAA) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine
serum (PAA Biotech) and 1% Penicillin and streptomycin (Invitrogen).
shRNA generation and viral infection
shRNA viruses were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich®, L3MBTL1-shRNA1 (TRCN0000016864),
L3MBTL1-shRNA2 (TRCN0000016866), L3MBTL1-shRNA3 (TRCN0000016867), SGK2-
shRNA1 (TRCN0000002111) SGK2-shRNA2 (TRCN0000002112), SGK2-shRNA3
(TRCN0000002113), and for murine targets, mL3-shRNA1 (TRCN0000226027), mL3-shRNA2
(TRCN0000226028), mL3-shRNA3 (TRCN0000226091), mS2-shRNA1 (TRCN0000022879) and
mS2-shRNA2 (TRCN0000022881) were sub-cloned in lentiviral vector pLKO1.3G co-expressing
22
GFP (Kindly gifted Dr J Larsson, Lund University Sweden) as described before (18). GFP was
replaced with CFP from pMSCV-ires-CFP to generate pLKO1.3G CFP vector. To produce lentiviral
particles shRNA vectors with psPAX2 and pMD2-G coat plasmids co-transfected in 293T cells using
GeneJuice® (Millipore). Medium was changed 24 hours after transfection and viral supernatants were
collected 48 hours and 72 hours after transfection and viral particles were concentrated by
centrifuging the supernatant at 28000rpm for 3 hours, at 4C. Concentrated viral particles were re-
suspended in 500µl of PBS and 50µl of this concentrated virus suspension was coated with Polybrene
(4µg/ml) and used to infect 200,000 K562 or CD34+ cells in a fibronectin-coated 24 well dish by spin
inoculation. Cells counted and analyzed by FACS every 4th day. For CD34+ cells infection, virus was
first coated on 24 well, fibronectin coated plates by spinning the concentrated virus on a dish with
medium for 15 minutes at 4C at 3000rpm. After coating with virus, CD34+ cells were added to the
plate. Scrambled shRNA infected and uninfected cord blood CD34+ cells were used as controls for off
target effects of shRNA viruses. In order to make sure there were no off-target effects, these cells
were monitored in the same way as the knock-down cells and found to be consistent with each other
for growth and differentiation kinetics.
Retrovirus generation and transduction
L3MBTL1 cDNA was cloned between EcoRI and XhoI sites in pMSCV-ires-GFP and SGK2 cDNA
was cloned between EcoRI and BamHI sites in pMSCV-ires-CFP (A kind gift of Dr BJ Huntly,
Cambridge, UK (19)). Amphotropic retroviruses with VSV-G coat were generated as described
(http://www.stanford.edu/group/nolan/protocols/pro_helper_free.html). Briefly, 293T cells were
transiently transfected with pMSCV-L3MBTL1-ires-GFP and/or pMSCV-SGK2-ires2-CFP, pCMV
8.91 and pVSV-G and medium was changed 24 hours after transfection. Virus containing
supernatant was harvested 48 hours and 72 hours post-transfection. Viral supernatant was diluted with
fresh RPMI supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FCS and 1% penicillin and streptomycin, and
used for infecting HNT-34 cells in 6-well fibronectin coated plates. Two rounds of spin infections
23
were carried out for 12 hours at 2500rpm at 32C. Medium was changed 12 hours after infection then
cells induced with 50µM hemin in RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS (heat inactivated) and 1%
penicillin/streptomycin. Cell counts and FACS analysis for GPA expression was performed every 24
hours starting 48 hours from infection. RNA was extracted at the day 4 of culture for globin gene
expression analysis.
Human SNP genotyping for expressed alleles
Genomic DNA sequencing for each SNP (SGK2 SNP rs3827067 and GDAP1L1 SNP rs1247963) was
performed from buccal or whole blood DNA from informative individuals and their parents. Two
independent samples were taken for each individual shown to confirm genotype, except for the
parents of the GDAP1L1 families. cDNA sequencing in the probands was performed using the
primers described below. For SGK2, CD2+ T cells and for GDAP1L1, GPA+ erythroblasts were found
to express a moderate level of transcript, so these were used for further expression analysis. Multiple
PCR products were sequenced from independently derived cDNAs of the original cell sample, to
confirm the allelic expression pattern.
Mutation and sequencing analysis
SSCP/HA analysis of all candidate genes except SGK2 and JPH2 was performed as described
previously (6). Direct sequencing of SGK2 and JPH2 was performed as described previously (12).
Primers used for each fragment are listed below.
Bisulphite sequencing and Quantitative Pyro-sequencing
Bisulphite sequencing was performed as described previously (13). Quantitative pyrosequencing was
done as described before (14) using the primers described by Woodfine et al (15).
24
Colony genotyping
BFU-E and CFU-GM colonies were picked into 50µl RLT buffer (Qiagen) in 96-well plates and
stored at -80oC. 20ul RLT lysate per colony was transferred to a new plate, and 40µl Isopropanol was
added to each well. DNA was precipitated by centrifugation for 1 hour at 3600rpm at room
temperature in an Eppendorf 3810R centrifuge with the A-2- DWP rotor. Pellets were washed twice
with 70% ethanol, dried by brief centrifugation upside-down and re-suspended in 50µl sterile dH2O.
2.5µl of DNA was used per PCR reaction for each relevant marker. Patient genotypes were
determined using a panel of 16 microsatellites across a 5Mb region of 20q encompassing both the
previously described MDS and MPN CDRs (38315925-43320563). Constitutional material, either T
cells isolated using CD2 Dynabeads (Invitrogen) or buccal DNA isolated using the Epicentre DNA
extraction kit (CamBio, Cambridge, UK) was compared to granulocyte DNA. PCR primers for
markers with high reported heterozygosity (60 to 85%) were taken from the GenLoc database
(http://genecards.weizmann.ac.il/geneloc/index.shtml). One primer was labeled with 6-FAM and PCR
products were diluted 1 in 10 before running on an ABI 3700XL. Markers used were: D20S107,
D20S170, D20S108, D20S858, D20S466, D20S46, D20S899, D20S96, D20S721, D20S150,
D20S169, D20S861, D20S911, D20S119, D20S481 and D20S1151. Microsatellite PCR products
were analyzed on an ABI 3730XL analyzer to quantify loss of chromosome 20q as indicated by loss
of marker alleles in the tumor sample, compared to constitutional material. The ratio of the areas
under each peak in the tumor sample, once normalized to the areas under the corresponding peaks in a
constitutional sample, is expressed as a fraction, then subtracted from 1 and converted to a percentage.
Colonies were scored for deletion by the retention of just one allele, or no deletion by the presence of
both alleles. Colonies not meeting these criteria were excluded from further analysis. At least 3
informative microsatellites were obtained for each colony. Colonies with clear genotypes for all
microsatellites analysed were tested by quantitative RT-PCR for expression of L3MBTL1, GDAP1L1,
MYBB and C20orf111.
25
Strand-specific cDNA synthesis and PCR
Strand specific cDNA for mRNA for L3mbtl1 and Sgk2 was synthesized from C57BL6 x 129S
reciprocal cross F1 mice and Gdap1l1 strand specific cDNA was synthesized from C57BL6 x
CAST/EiJ F1 mouse tissue. Strand specific cDNA for murine L3mbtl1, Sgk2 and Gdap1l1 were
synthesized using primer L3MBTL-R1671, SGK2-R1462 and GDAP1L1-R1448 respectively.
For human L3MBTL1, the cDNA for the sense transcript was primed using a primer in exon 14 and
exon 24 (primer L3MBTL1-SS-P3 in the table below) for mRNAs in the coding region of the gene,
(primer L3MBLT1-SS-P2) for mRNAs extending into the non-coding region of the gene and in the P5
region, chr20:41614055-74 (see Figure S3A) as a control where no mRNAs are expected to be
transcribed (primer L3MBTL1-P1). For the antisense transcript, cDNA was primed from exon 24
(primer L3MBTL1-AS-P2) and the exon 17 region (L3MBTL1-SS-P3) where Ensembl ESTs predict
antisense expression; and from exon 12 (L3MBTL1-AS-P4) and P5 region (L3MBTL1-AS-P1) which
are not predicted to have antisense expression. In Figure S3B sense RNAs were primed from exon 24
to make the sense cDNA, and the antisense RNAs were primed from either exon 12 region (for exon
13 PCR analysis), exon 24 region (for P3 and P5 analysis), and exon 17 (for analysis of the other
exons studied).
Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation (ChIP)
CD34+ cells differentiated in early erythroid cells using phase I of bi-phasic erythroid differentiation
with fresh media change every 2 days. 12 hours before the harvest of cells, cells were stimulated with
fresh media containing erythropoietin 2U/ml. Harvested cells were sorted for infected cells and 1
million infected day 8 erythroblasts used per condition of chromatin immune precipitation as
described before (16). Briefly, infected cells were twice washed with cold PBS, and cross linked using
0.4% formaldehyde solution in PBS and cross linking stopped by adding with 2M glycine solution to
a final concentration of 0.125M glycine, cells were subsequently washed with cold PBS, and lyzed
26
with Cell Membrane lysis solution (10mM Tris/HCl pH 8.0, 10mM NaCl, 0.2% NP40 and protease
inhibitor cocktail ) and then with nucleus lysis solution (50mM Tris/HCl pH 8.1, 10mM EDTA, 1%
SDS and protease inhibitor cocktail), nuclear material was sonicated and any debris removed by
centrifugation. Chromatin material extracted was then diluted with ChIP dilution buffer (20mM
Tris/HCl pH 8.1, 2mM EDTA, 150mM NaCl, 1% Triton X100, 0.01%SDS and protease inhibitor
cocktail) and cleaned using pre-immune serum and then incubated with respective antibody (4ug for
H3K4me3 and 12ug for all others). Antibodies used in ChIP were anti-L3MBTL1 (SantaCruz
Biotech, sc-50038) anti-BRG1 (AbCam ab4081), anti-H3K4me3 (Millipore Clone MC315) and anti-
phospho-S2-PolII (AbCam ab5095). Chromatin was incubated with respective antibodies overnight
(18 hours) at 4oC with constant rotation. Next chromatin and antibody mixture was incubated with
25ul Dynabeads labelled with either protein G or protein A (Invitrogen, 100-04D and 100-01D) for
two hours at 4oC with content rotation. Labelled beads were then isolated and washed in a magnetic
rack (Invitrogen, 123-21D) and washed using wash buffer 1 (20mM Tris/HCl pH 8.1, 2mM EDTA,
50mM NaCl, 1% Triton X100, and 1% SDS) twice, wash buffer 2 (10mM Tris/HCl pH 8.1, 1mM
EDTA, 0.25M LiCl, 1% NP40, and 1% Sodium deoxycholate monohydrate) once and then twice with
Tris/EDTA (pH 7.8, 50mM). Precipitated chromatin extracted from beads using extraction buffer
(0.1M NaHCO3, 1% SDS) and precipitated DNA isolated by adding 5M NaCl and incubating at 67oC
overnight. Samples were then incubated with 3ul Proteinase K (20mg/ml) and 1ul of RNAse at 55oC
for two hours and DNA was purified using a PCR purification kit (Qiagen).
Immunoprecipitation and western blot
pMSCV-L3MBTL1-ires-GFP or pMSCV-SGK2-ires-GFP (described above) were used to transfect
HNT-34 cells with control empty vector (pMSCV-ires-GFP) using Amexa transfection reagent ‘R’
and using transfection protocol T-027 (Amexa®). After 96 hours of transfection HNT34 cells were
lysed and BRG1 was immunoprecipitated using anti-BRG1 (Abcam ab4081) and analysed for
phosphoserine phosphorylation using antibody against pan-phosphoserine (Abcam, ab6639) as
27
described before (17). Part of cell lysate was used for expression analysis of L3MBTL1, SGK2 and
Actin. Western blot analyses were performed on total cell lysates using the following antibodies: anti-
L3MBTL1 (Santa Cruz sc-50038), anti-SGK2 (Santa Cruz sc-98972) and anti-Actin (Sigma).
Study Approval
The study of human samples was approved by the Cambridge and Eastern Region Ethics Committee
(REC reference number 07/MRE05/44). Patients gave written informed consent, and research was
carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The macaque studies were approved by
SingHealth Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC #2009/SHS/509). All the mouse
work was performed under UK home office project license numbers 80/2376 and 80/2567. All
experiments in tammar wallaby were approved by institutional ethics committees at Department of
Zoology, University of Melbourne, Australia and specimen transfer agreement reference number is
GB107A.
Statistical Methods
An unpaired Student's t-test was used for all analyses, within the GraphPad Prism4 software
(GraphPad Software, Inc). Significance was determined by p-vlaues <0.05, ‘*’; <0.01, ‘**’; and
<0.001, ‘***’.
