Yazarların açıklayacak bir şeyi yok.

Bu protokolde ChIP ve ardından exonuclease sindirimi, memeli hücrelerindeki protein-DNA etkileşimlerinin ultra yüksek haritalama çözünürlüğünde tanımlanması için DNA kütüphaneleri elde etmek için kullanılır. Birçok değişken ChIP-exo deneyinin kalitesine katkıda bulunur. Kritik deneysel parametreler antikorların kalitesini, sonication optimizasyonunu ve LM-PCR döngülerinin sayısını içerir. Bu kritik deneysel parametreler aynı zamanda ChIP-exo deneylerini sınırlayabilir ve aşağıda tartı...

Protein-DNA etkileşimlerinin yerleri gen düzenleme mekanizmaları hakkında fikir sağlar. Kromatin immünorepitasyonu, yüksek verimli dizileme (ChIP-seq) ile birleştiğinde, canlı hücrelerde genom çapındaki protein-DNA etkileşimlerini incelemek için on yıldır1,2. Bununla birlikte, ChIP-seq yöntemi, düşük haritalama çözünürlüğüne, yanlış pozitiflere, cevapsız çağrılara ve spesifik olmayan arka plan sinyaline yol açan DNA parçalanması ve ilişkisiz DNA kirlenmesinde heterojenlik ile sınırlıdır. ChIP'nin exonuclease sindirimi (ChIP-exo) ile kombinasyonu, ChIP DNA'sını protein-DNA çapraz bağlantı noktalarına kırparak, taban çifti çözünürlüğü ve düşük arka plan sinyali 3 ,4,5sağlayarak ChIP-seq yönteminde gelişir. ChIP-exo tarafından sağlanan büyük ölçüde geliştirilmiş haritalama çözünürlüğü ve düşük arka plan, genom genelinde doğru ve kapsamlı protein-DNA bağlama konumlarının belirlenmesini sağlar. ChIP-exo, fonksiyonel olarak farklı DNA bağlayıcı motifleri, transkripsiyon faktörleri (TF) arasındaki işbirliği etkileşimlerini ve belirli bir genomik bağlama konumundaki çoklu protein-DNA çapraz bağlantı alanlarını ortaya çıkarabilir, diğer genomik haritalamayöntemleriyletespit edilemez 3,4,6,7.
ChIP-exo başlangıçta tomurcuklanan mayada TF'lerin diziye özgü DNA bağlamasını incelemek, transkripsiyon öncesi başlatma kompleksinin kesin organizasyonunu ve genom4,8,9boyunca bireysel histonların nükleozomal yapısını incelemek için kullanılmıştır. 2011 yılında piyasaya sürülmesinden bu yana4, ChIP-exo, bakteriler, fareler ve insan hücreleri 7 , 10 , 11 ,12,13,14,15,16,17dahil olmak üzere diğer birçok organizmada başarıyla kullanılmıştır. 2016 yılında Rhee ve ark.14, başka bir programlama TF Isl1 ile heterodimer kompleksi oluşturan TF Lhx3 programlamasının küçültülmesi sonrasında nöronal gen ekspresyonunun nasıl sürdürüldüğünü anlamak için ilk kez memeli nöronlarında ChIP-exo kullandı. Bu çalışma, Lhx3'ün yokluğunda, Isl1'in nöronal efektör genlerin gen ekspresyonunun sürdürülmesi için Onecut1 TF'ye bağlı yeni nöronal arttırıcılara işe alındığını göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada ChIP-exo, birden fazla TF'nin hücre tiplerini ve hücre aşamasına özgü DNA düzenleyici elementleri neredeyse nükleotid haritalama çözünürlüğünde kombinatoryal bir şekilde nasıl dinamik olarak tanıdığını ortaya koydu. Diğer çalışmalar ayrıca diğer memeli hücre hatlarındaki proteinler ve DNA arasındaki etkileşimi anlamak için ChIP-exo yöntemini kullandı. Han ve ark.7, ChIP-exo kullanarak fare eritroid hücrelerinde GATA1 ve TAL1 TF'lerin genom çapındaki organizasyonunu incelemek için ChIP-exo'yu kullandı. Bu çalışma, TAL1'in eritroid farklılaşması boyunca GATA1 ile protein-protein etkileşimleri yoluyla dolaylı olarak değil, doğrudan DNA'ya işe alındığı bulunmuştur. Son çalışmalar ayrıca, insan hücre hatlarındaki epigenomik ve transkripsiyonel mekanizmaları incelemek için CTCF, RNA Polymerase II ve histone izlerinin genom çapındaki bağlama konumlarının profilini çıkarmak için ChIP-exo'yu kullanmıştır18,19.
ChIP-exo protokolünün çeşitli sürümleri vardır3,5,20. Ancak, bu ChIP-exo protokollerini, yeni nesil sıralama kütüphanesi hazırlığına aşina olmayan araştırmalar için takip etmek zordur. ChIP-exo protokolünün mükemmel bir sürümü, takip edilmesi kolay talimatlar ve bir video21ile yayınlandı, ancak tamamlanması için önemli miktarda zaman gerektiren birçok enzymatic adım içeriyordu. Burada chip-exo protokolünün yeni bir sürümünü bildiriyoruz azaltılmış enzymatic adımlar ve kuluçka süreleri ve her enzymatic adım21için açıklamalar . Uç onarımı ve dA-tailing reaksiyonları, uç hazırlık enzimi kullanılarak tek bir adımda birleştirilir. Dizin ve evrensel bağdaştırıcı ligasyon adımları için kuluçka süreleri, ligasyon arttırıcı kullanılarak 2 h'den 15 dakikaya düşürülür. Önceki ChIP-exo protokolünde açıklanan dizin bağdaştırıcısı ligasyon adımından sonraki kinaz reaksiyonu kaldırılır. Bunun yerine, lambda exonuclease sindirim adımı için kullanılacak olan indeks adaptörünün 5' uçlarından birine(Tablo 1)oligo DNA sentezi sırasında bir fosfat grubu eklenir. Önceki ChIP-exo protokolü, tek iplikli DNA kirleticilerini ortadan kaldırmak için RecJf exonuclease sindirimi kullanırken, bu sindirim adımı chIP-exo kütüphanesinin kalitesi için kritik olmadığı için burada kaldırılır. Ek olarak, ChIP işleminden sonra ters çapraz bağlı DNA'yı arındırmak için fenol:kloroform:izoamil alkol (PCIA) ekstraksiyon yöntemi yerine manyetik boncuk temizleme yöntemi kullanılır. Bu, DNA ekstraksiyonunun kuluçka süresini azaltır. Daha da önemlisi, dizin bağdaştırıcısı ligasyonu sırasında oluşan bağdaştırıcı solukluklarının çoğunu kaldırır ve bu da ligasyon aracılı PCR'nin verimliliğini etkileyebilir.
Burada sunulan ChIP-exo protokolü, fare embriyonik sapı (ES) hücrelerinden farklılaştırılmış memeli nöronlarında kesin protein-DNA etkileşimlerinin tespiti için optimize edilmiştir. Kısaca, hasat edilen ve çapraz bağlı nöronal hücreler, kromatin sonikasyona maruz kalmasını sağlamak için yutulur, daha sonra uygun boyutta DNA parçaları elde edilecek şekilde sonicated (Şekil 1). Antikor kaplı boncuklar daha sonra parçalanmış, çözünür kromatinleri ilgi proteinine seçici olarak immün önseçimli hale getirmek için kullanılır. İmmün olarak kesinleşmemiş DNA hala boncuklardayken, son onarım, dizileme adaptörlerinin ligasyonu, dolgu reaksiyonu ve 5' ila 3' lambda exonuclease sindirim adımları gerçekleştirilir. Exonuclease sindirim adımı, ChIP-exo'ya ultra yüksek çözünürlüğünü ve yüksek sinyal-gürültü oranını veren şeydir. Lambda exonuclease, immün önyüklenmiş DNA'yı çapraz bağlama bölgesinden birkaç baz çifti (bp) keser, böylece kontamine DNA'nın bozulmasına neden olur. Exonuclease ile tedavi edilen ChIP DNA'sı antikor kaplı boncuklardan elde edilir, protein-DNA çapraz bağlantıları tersine çevrilir ve proteinler bozulur. DNA çıkarılır ve tek iplikli ChIP DNA'sına denatüre edilir, ardından çift iplikli DNA (dsDNA) yapmak için astar tavlama ve uzatma yapılır. Daha sonra, evrensel bir bağdaştırıcının exonuclease ile işlenmiş uçlara ligasyonu gerçekleştirilir. Elde edilen DNA saflaştırılır, daha sonra PCR yükseltilir, jel arındırılır ve yeni nesil sıralamaya tabi tutulur.
ChIP-exo protokolü ChIP-seq protokolünden daha uzundur, ancak teknik olarak çok zor değildir. Başarılı bir şekilde bağışıklık sistemi baskılanmış herhangi bir ChIP DNA'sı, birkaç ek enzymatik adımla ChIP-exo'ya tabi tutulabilir. ChIP-exo'nun ultra yüksek haritalama çözünürlüğü, azaltılmış arka plan sinyali ve genomik bağlama alanlarıyla ilgili yanlış pozitif ve negatiflerin azalması gibi önemli avantajları zaman maliyetinden daha ağır basmaktadır.

high-resolution mapping of protein-dna interactions in mouse stem cell-derived neurons using chromatin immunoprecipitation-exonuclease (chip-exo)

Genom üzerindeki spesifik protein-DNA etkileşimlerinin tanımlanması gen düzenlemesini anlamak için önemlidir. Kromatin immünorektasyon, yüksek verimli dizileme (ChIP-seq) ile birleştiğinde, DNA bağlayıcı proteinlerin genom çapındaki bağlayıcı konumlarını tanımlamak için yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, ChIP-seq yöntemi, sonicated DNA parçalarının ve spesifik olmayan arka plan DNA'larının uzunluğundaki heterojenliği ile sınırlıdır ve bu da düşük haritalama çözünürlüğü ve DNA bağlayıcı bölgelerde belirsizlik ile sonuçlanır. Bu sınırlamaların üstesinden gelmek için, ChIP'nin exonuclease sindirimi (ChIP-exo) ile kombinasyonu, heterojen olarak boyutlandırılmış immün önyüklenmiş DNA'yı protein-DNA çapraz bağlantı bölgesine kırpmak için 5 ila 3' exonuclease sindirimini kullanır. Exonuclease tedavisi spesifik olmayan arka plan DNA'larını da ortadan kaldırır. Kütüphane tarafından hazırlanan ve exonuclease sindirilen DNA, yüksek verimli sıralama için gönderilebilir. ChIP-exo yöntemi, daha fazla algılama hassasiyeti ve azaltılmış arka plan sinyali ile neredeyse taban çifti eşleme çözünürlüğü sağlar. Memeli hücreleri ve yeni nesil dizileme için optimize edilmiş bir ChIP-exo protokolü aşağıda açıklanmıştır.

Mapping RNA-RNA Interactions Globally Using Biotinylated Psoralen

Knowing how RNAs interact with themselves and with others is key to understanding RNA based gene regulation in the cell. While examples of RNA-RNA interactions such as microRNA-mRNA interactions have been shown to regulate gene expression, the full extent to which RNA interactions occur in the cell is still unknown. Previous methods to study RNA interactions have primarily focused on subsets of RNAs that are interacting with a particular protein or RNA species. Here, we detail a method named Sequencing of Psoralen crosslinked, Ligated, and Selected Hybrids (SPLASH) that allows genome-wide capture of RNA interactions in vivo in an unbiased manner. SPLASH utilizes in vivo crosslinking, proximity ligation, and high throughput sequencing to identify intramolecular and intermolecular RNA base-pairing partners globally. SPLASH can be applied to different organisms including bacteria, yeast and human cells, as well as diverse cellular conditions to facilitate the understanding of the dynamics of RNA organization under diverse cellular contexts. The entire experimental SPLASH protocol takes about 5 days to complete and the computational workflow takes about 7 days to complete.

Genome-wide Mapping of Protein-DNA Interactions with ChEC-seq in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Genome-wide mapping of protein-DNA interactions is critical for understanding gene regulation, chromatin remodeling, and other chromatin-resident processes. Formaldehyde crosslinking followed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (X-ChIP-seq) has been used to gain many valuable insights into genome biology. However, X-ChIP-seq has notable limitations linked to crosslinking and sonication. Native ChIP avoids these drawbacks by omitting crosslinking, but often results in poor recovery of chromatin-bound proteins. In addition, all ChIP-based methods are subject to antibody quality considerations. Enzymatic methods for mapping protein-DNA interactions, which involve fusion of a protein of interest to a DNA-modifying enzyme, have also been used to map protein-DNA interactions. We recently combined one such method, chromatin endogenous cleavage (ChEC), with high-throughput sequencing as ChEC-seq. ChEC-seq relies on fusion of a chromatin-associated protein of interest to micrococcal nuclease (MNase) to generate targeted DNA cleavage in the presence of calcium in living cells. ChEC-seq is not based on immunoprecipitation and so circumvents potential concerns with crosslinking, sonication, chromatin solubilization, and antibody quality while providing high resolution mapping with minimal background signal. We envision that ChEC-seq will be a powerful counterpart to ChIP, providing an independent means by which to both validate ChIP-seq findings and discover new insights into genomic regulation.

We describe chromatin endogenous cleavage coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChEC-seq), a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-orthogonal method for mapping protein binding sites genome-wide with micrococcal nuclease (MNase) fusion proteins.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) in Mouse T-cell Lines

Signaling pathways regulate gene expression programs via the modulation of the chromatin structure at different levels, such as by post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histone tails, the exchange of canonical histones with histone variants, and nucleosome eviction. Such regulation requires the binding of signal-sensitive transcription factors (TFs) that recruit chromatin-modifying enzymes at regulatory elements defined as enhancers. Understanding how signaling cascades regulate enhancer activity requires a comprehensive analysis of the binding of TFs, chromatin modifying enzymes, and the occupancy of specific histone marks and histone variants. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays utilize highly specific antibodies to immunoprecipitate specific protein/DNA complexes. The subsequent analysis of the purified DNA allows for the identification the region occupied by the protein recognized by the antibody. This work describes a protocol to efficiently perform ChIP of histone proteins in a mature mouse T-cell line. The presented protocol allows for the performance of ChIP assays in a reasonable timeframe and with high reproducibility.

Retroviral Scanning: Mapping MLV Integration Sites to Define Cell-specific Regulatory Regions

Moloney murine leukemia (MLV) virus-based retroviral vectors integrate predominantly in acetylated enhancers and promoters. For this reason, mLV integration sites can be used as functional markers of active regulatory elements. Here, we present a retroviral scanning tool, which allows the genome-wide identification of cell-specific enhancers and promoters. Briefly, the target cell population is transduced with an mLV-derived vector and genomic DNA is digested with a frequently cutting restriction enzyme. After ligation of genomic fragments with a compatible DNA linker, linker-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LM-PCR) allows the amplification of the virus-host genome junctions. Massive sequencing of the amplicons is used to define the mLV integration profile genome-wide. Finally, clusters of recurrent integrations are defined to identify cell-specific regulatory regions, responsible for the activation of cell-type specific transcriptional programs.
The retroviral scanning tool allows the genome-wide identification of cell-specific promoters and enhancers in prospectively isolated target cell populations. Notably, retroviral scanning represents an instrumental technique for the retrospective identification of rare populations (e.g. somatic stem cells) that lack robust markers for prospective isolation.

Here, we describe a protocol for genome-wide mapping of the integration sites of Moloney murine leukemia virus-based retroviral vectors in human cells.

High Resolution Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization in Drosophila Embryos and Tissues Using Tyramide Signal Amplification

In our efforts to determine the patterns of expression and subcellular localization of Drosophila RNAs on a genome-wide basis, and in a variety of tissues, we have developed numerous modifications and improvements to our original fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) protocol. To facilitate throughput and cost effectiveness, all steps, from probe generation to signal detection, are performed using exon 96-well microtiter plates. Digoxygenin (DIG)-labelled antisense RNA probes are produced using either cDNA clones or genomic DNA as templates. After tissue fixation and permeabilization, probes are hybridized to transcripts of interest and then detected using a succession of anti-DIG antibody conjugated to biotin, streptavidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and fluorescently conjugated tyramide, which in the presence of HRP, produces a highly reactive intermediate that binds to electron dense regions of immediately adjacent proteins. These amplification and localization steps produce a robust and highly localized signal that facilitates both cellular and subcellular transcript localization. The protocols provided have been optimized to produce highly specific signals in a variety of tissues and developmental stages. References are also provided for additional variations that allow the simultaneous detection of multiple transcripts, or transcripts and proteins, at the same time.

Mapping Genome-wide Accessible Chromatin in Primary Human T Lymphocytes by ATAC-Seq

Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) is a method used for the identification of open (accessible) regions of chromatin. These regions represent regulatory DNA elements (e.g., promoters, enhancers, locus control regions, insulators) to which transcription factors bind. Mapping the accessible chromatin landscape is a powerful approach for uncovering active regulatory elements across the genome. This information serves as an unbiased approach for discovering the network of relevant transcription factors and mechanisms of chromatin structure that govern gene expression programs. ATAC-seq is a robust and sensitive alternative to DNase I hypersensitivity analysis coupled with next-generation sequencing (DNase-seq) and formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE-seq) for genome-wide analysis of chromatin accessibility and to the sequencing of micrococcal nuclease-sensitive sites (MNase-seq) to determine nucleosome positioning. We present a detailed ATAC-seq protocol optimized for human primary immune cells i.e. CD4+ lymphocytes (T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 cells). This comprehensive protocol begins with cell harvest, then describes the molecular procedure of chromatin tagmentation, sample preparation for next-generation sequencing, and also includes methods and considerations for the computational analyses used to interpret the results. Moreover, to save time and money, we introduced quality control measures to assess the ATAC-seq library prior to sequencing. Importantly, the principles presented in this protocol allow its adaptation to other human immune and non-immune primary cells and cell lines. These guidelines will also be useful for laboratories which are not proficient with next-generation sequencing methods.

Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) is a genome-wide method to uncover accessible chromatin. This is a step-by-step ATAC-seq protocol, from molecular to the final computational analysis, optimized for human lymphocytes (Th1/Th2). This protocol can be adopted by researchers without prior experience in next-generation sequencing methods.

Promoter Capture Hi-C: High-resolution, Genome-wide Profiling of Promoter Interactions

The three-dimensional organization of the genome is linked to its function. For example, regulatory elements such as transcriptional enhancers control the spatio-temporal expression of their target genes through physical contact, often bridging considerable (in some cases hundreds of kilobases) genomic distances and bypassing nearby genes. The human genome harbors an estimated one million enhancers, the vast majority of which have unknown gene targets. Assigning distal regulatory regions to their target genes is thus crucial to understand gene expression control. We developed Promoter Capture Hi-C (PCHi-C) to enable the genome-wide detection of distal promoter-interacting regions (PIRs), for all promoters in a single experiment. In PCHi-C, highly complex Hi-C libraries are specifically enriched for promoter sequences through in-solution hybrid selection with thousands of biotinylated RNA baits complementary to the ends of all promoter-containing restriction fragments. The aim is to then pull-down promoter sequences and their frequent interaction partners such as enhancers and other potential regulatory elements. After high-throughput paired-end sequencing, a statistical test is applied to each promoter-ligated restriction fragment to identify significant PIRs at the restriction fragment level. We have used PCHi-C to generate an atlas of long-range promoter interactions in dozens of human and mouse cell types. These promoter interactome maps have contributed to a greater understanding of mammalian gene expression control by assigning putative regulatory regions to their target genes and revealing preferential spatial promoter-promoter interaction networks. This information also has high relevance to understanding human genetic disease and the identification of potential disease genes, by linking non-coding disease-associated sequence variants in or near control sequences to their target genes.

DNA regulatory elements, such as enhancers, control gene expression by physically contacting target gene promoters, often through long-range chromosomal interactions spanning large genomic distances. Promoter Capture Hi-C (PCHi-C) identifies significant interactions between promoters and distal regions, enabling the assignment of potential regulatory sequences to their target genes.

CRISPR-Mediated Reorganization of Chromatin Loop Structure

Recent studies have clearly shown that long-range, three-dimensional chromatin looping interactions play a significant role in the regulation of gene expression, but whether looping is responsible for or a result of alterations in gene expression is still unknown. Until recently, how chromatin looping affects the regulation of gene activity and cellular function has been relatively ambiguous, and limitations in existing methods to manipulate these structures prevented in-depth exploration of these interactions. To resolve this uncertainty, we engineered a method for selective and reversible chromatin loop re-organization using CRISPR-dCas9 (CLOuD9). The dynamism of the CLOuD9 system has been demonstrated by successful localization of CLOuD9 constructs to target genomic loci to modulate local chromatin conformation. Importantly, the ability to reverse the induced contact and restore the endogenous chromatin conformation has also been confirmed. Modulation of gene expression with this method establishes the capacity to regulate cellular gene expression and underscores the great potential for applications of this technology in creating stable de novo chromatin loops that markedly affect gene expression in the contexts of cancer and development.

Chromatin looping plays a significant role in gene regulation; however, there have been no technological advances that allow for selective and reversible modification of chromatin loops. Here we describe a powerful system for chromatin loop re-organization using CRISPR-dCas9 (CLOuD9), demonstrated to selectively and reversibly modulate gene expression at targeted loci.

High-Resolution Comparison of Bacterial Conjugation Frequencies

Bacterial conjugation is an important step in the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes via a conjugative DNA element. In-depth comparisons of conjugation frequency under different conditions are required to understand how the conjugative element spreads in nature. However, conventional methods for comparing conjugation frequency are not appropriate for in-depth comparisons because of the high background caused by the occurrence of additional conjugation events on the selective plate. We successfully reduced the background by introducing a most probable number (MPN) method and a higher concentration of antibiotics to prevent further conjugation in selective liquid medium. In addition, we developed a protocol for estimating the probability of how often donor cells initiate conjugation by sorting single donor cells into recipient pools by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Using two plasmids, pBP136 and pCAR1, the differences in conjugation frequency in Pseudomonas putida cells could be detected in liquid medium at different stirring rates. The frequencies of conjugation initiation were higher for pBP136 than for pCAR1. Using these results, we can better understand the conjugation features in these two plasmids.

With an aim to understand the behaviors of various bacterial conjugative DNA elements under different conditions, we describe a protocol for detecting differences in conjugation frequency, with high resolution, to estimate how efficiently the donor bacterium initiates conjugation.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Assay Using Micrococcal Nucleases in Mammalian Cells

To express cellular phenotypes in organisms, living cells execute gene expression accordingly, and transcriptional programs play a central role in gene expression. The cellular transcriptional machinery and its chromatin modification proteins coordinate to regulate transcription. To analyze transcriptional regulation at the molecular level, several experimental methods such as electrophoretic mobility shift, transient reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays are available. We describe a modified ChIP assay in detail in this article because of its advantages in directly showing histone modifications and the interactions between proteins and DNA in cells. One of the key steps in a successful ChIP assay is chromatin shearing. Although sonication is commonly used for shearing chromatin, it is difficult to identify reproducible conditions. Instead of shearing chromatin by sonication, we utilized enzymatic digestion with micrococcal nuclease (MNase) to obtain more reproducible results. In this article, we provide a straightforward ChIP assay protocol using MNase.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful tool for understanding the molecular mechanisms of gene regulation. However, the method involves difficulties in obtaining reproducible chromatin fragmentation by mechanical shearing. Here, we provide an improved protocol for a ChIP assay using enzymatic digestion.
