Supplementary information Methods Constructs and antibodies Mouse Smyd2, Smyd3, Smyd5 and Suv4-20h1 were cloned into pGEX vectors and purified from BL21 cells. cDNAs of mouse Smyd2 and Smyd2(MD) were subcloned into mammalian expression vector with or without FLAG tag. Antibodies specific to p53K370me1, me2 and me3 were raised in rabbit, using p53 peptides as antigens, and purified as IgG fraction. Smyd2 antibody was raised against amino terminal peptide (NH2-CKDHPYISEIKQEIESH-COOH) and antigen purified from crude serum. RT-PCR and realtime PCR Real-time PCR was run on an ABI 7000 SDS machine. mRNA Levels were measured by realtime PCR and normalized to that of GAPDH. The relative mRNA level was calculated by comparing the normalized values to that at 0-hour time point treated with control siRNA, the value of which was set to 1. Primers for GAPDH: 5’-TGGGCTACACTGAGCACCAG-3’ and 5’-GGGTGTCGCTGTTGAAGTCA-3’; for p21: 5’-AGCGATGGAACTTCGACTTTG-3’ and 5’-CGAAGTCACCCTCCAGTGGT-3’; for mdm2: 5’-CCGGATCTTGATGCTGGTGT-3’ and 5’-CTGATCCAACCAATCACCTGAAT-3’. siRNA transfection For siRNA transfection, cells were transfected with two rounds of 100nM siRNA (Dharmacon) and DharmaFECT 1 (Dharmacon) with 24-hour interval. Cells were treated with or without 0.5uM adriamycin as indicated. siRNA target sequence for: 1 luciferase control: 5’-UAAGGCUAUGAAGAGAUAC-3’; for Smyd2: 5’-GCAAAGAUCAUCCAUAUAU-3’; for Set9: 5’- UGUAGACGGAGAGCUGAAC-3’. Re-ChIP (Sequential ChIP) H1299 cells were transfected with FLAG-p53 or FLAG-p53(K370R) together with or without Smyd2 or Smyd2(MD) expression vector. After the first ChIP with FLAG antibody, IPed materials were eluted with FLAG peptide and subject to Re-ChIP with p53K370me1 antibody or IgG. Percentage of input was calculated as IP signal (Re-ChIP)/IP signal (ChIP). Primers for p53 binding site on p21: 5’-GGCTGGTGGCTATTTTGTCC-3’ and 5’TCCCCTTCCTCCCTGAAAAC-3’; on mdm2: 5’-AAACCATGCATTTTCCCAGC-3’ and 5’CAGGTCTACCCTCCAATCGC-3’; on Bax: 5’-AGCGTTCCCCTAGCCTCTTT-3’ and 5’GCTGGGCCTGTATCCTACATTCT-3’. Lentivirus transduction Luciferase control Top strand: 5’CACCGCCCTGGTTCCTGGAACAATTCGAAAATTGTTCCAGGAACCAGGGC3’ Bottom strand: 5’AAAAGCCCTGGTTCCTGGAACAATTTTCGAATTGTTCCAGGAACCAGGGC3’ Smyd2 Top strand: 5’CACCGGATTGTCCAAATGTGGAAGACGAATCTTCCACATTTGGACAATCC3’ 2 Bottom strand: 5’AAAAGGATTGTCCAAATGTGGAAGATTCGTCTTCCACATTTGGACAATCC3’ Lentiviruses were produced per manufacturer’s protocol. Stable clones constitutively expressing shRNAs were obtained by transducing cells with lentivirus expressing shRNAs followed by selecting with 250ug/ml (U2OS) or 100ug/ml (H1299) Zeocin for two weeks. For inducible stable clones, U2OS cells expressing TetR were obtained by transducing with Lenti6/TR lentivirus and selecting with 2.5ul/ml Blasticidin for one week. U2OS/Lenti6/TR cells were then transduced with Lentivirus expressing FLAG-Smyd2 and selected with Zeocin. Cells transduced with p53 shRNA lentivirus were selected with 1ug/ml puromycin and 40ug/ml Zeocin for three days.
