"Raw sequence data obtained in the fastq format were aligned to the genome of E. coli K12 MG1655 (NC_000913.2) using the Burrows-Wheeler matching program BWA. Reads mapping uniquely to the genome were selected. Files were coverted to .bam format using samtools. The MACS 2.1.0 software was used to call peaks. Peaks overlapping in both replicates were selected for further analysis."	"data_processing.2"

"Cross-linked cells were harvested by centrifugation, washed thrice with ice-cold TBS (pH 7.5), resuspended in 1 ml lysis buffer [10 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 20% sucrose, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 20 mg/ml lysozyme and 0.1 mg/ml RNase A] and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. After lysis, 3 ml immunoprecipitation (IP) buffer [50 mM HEPES–KOH (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and PMSF (final 1 mM)] was added and the DNA sheared to an average size of ~250 bp using a Bioruptor (Diagenode). Insoluble cellular matter was removed by centrifugation for 10 min at 4°C. An 800 μl aliquot was incubated with 20 μl Protein A/G UltraLink Resin (Pierce) on a rotary shaker for 45 minutes at room temperature. The supernatant was removed and incubated with mouse monoclonal antibody (Neoclone cat. no. WP009) and 30 μl Protein A/G UltraLink Resin (pre-incubated with 1mg/ml BSA in TBS), on a rotary shaker at room temperature for 90 min. Samples were washed once with IP buffer, twice with IP buffer + 500 mM NaCl, once with wash buffer [10 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 250 mM LiCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% Nonidet P-40 and 0.5% sodium deoxycholate] and once with TE (pH 7.5). Immunoprecipitated complexes were eluted in 100 μl elution buffer [10 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 10 mM EDTA and 1% SDS] at 65°C for 20 min. Immunoprecipitated samples and the sheared DNA from the Bioruptor were uncrosslinked in elution buffer containing 0.8 mg/ml Pronase at 42°C for 2 h followed by 65°C for 6 h. DNA was purified using the phenol-chloroform method."	"extract_protocol_ch1.1"
