[Abstract] Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) or high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) has become the gold standard for the identification of binding sites of DNA binding proteins and the localization of histone modification on a locus-specific or genome-wide scale, respectively. ChIP experiments can be divided into seven critical steps: (A) sample collection, (B) crosslinking of proteins to DNA, (C) nuclear extraction, (D) chromatin isolation and fragmentation by sonication, (E) immunoprecipitation of histone marks by appropriate antibodies, (F) DNA recovery, and (G) identification of precipitated protein-associated DNA by qPCR or high-throughput sequencing. Here, we describe a time-efficient protocol that can be used for ChIP-qPCR experiments to study the ...
[摘要] [摘要]染色质免疫沉淀与定量PCR(ChIP -qPCR)或高通量测序(ChIP-seq )结合已成为鉴定DNA结合蛋白结合位点和在特定基因座上定位组蛋白修饰的金标准。或全基因组规模。ChIP实验可分为七个关键步骤:(A)样品收集,(B)蛋白质与DNA交联,(C)核提取,(D)染色质分离和f 超声处理的碎片化;(E)通过适当的抗体对组蛋白标记的免疫沉淀;(F)DNA的回收;(G)通过qPCR或高通量测序鉴定沉淀的蛋白质相关DNA。在这里,我们描述了一种可用于ChIP -qPCR实验的省时协议,以研究模型植物拟南芥幼花序中组蛋白修饰的定位。
[背景]真核基因组中的染色体中,其与组蛋白DNA结合形成染色质组织的。组蛋白与DNA之间的紧密相互作用阻碍了DNA与其他因素的可及性。因此,组蛋白相对于重要调控DNA序列的位置和组蛋白-DNA接触的强度可以隐藏或暴露提供另一层基因调控的基因。在染色质中,组蛋白和DNA均可被化学修饰(Zhou等,2010 ;Schübeler ,2015)。根据修饰的物理性质,染色质状态可以阻止或增强基础基因的转录(Kouzarides ,2007; Yang等,2014; Wu等,2015)。在植物中,染色质的表观遗传状态已被证明是响应发育或环境刺激的基因表达的关键决定因素(Yang等人,2014 ; Wu等人,2015 ; ...

[Abstract] Dynamic histone changes occur as a central part of chromatin regulation. Deposition of histone variants and post-translational modifications of histones are strongly associated with properties of chromatin status. Characterizing the kinetics of histone variants allows important insights into transcription regulation, chromatin maintenance and other chromatin properties. Here we provide a protocol of quantitative and sensitive approaches to test the timing of incorporation and dissociation of histones using a two-color SNAP-labeling system, labelling pre-existing and newly-incorporated histones distinctly. Together with cell cycle synchronization methods and cell cycle markers, this approach enables a pulse-chase analysis to determine the turnover of histone variants during the cell cycle, ...
[摘要] [摘要] 动态的组蛋白变化是染色质调节的核心部分。组蛋白变体的沉积和组蛋白的翻译后修饰与染色质状态的属性密切相关。表征组蛋白变体的动力学特性可为深入了解转录调控,染色质维持和其他染色质特性提供重要信息。在这里,我们提供了一种定量和敏感方法的协议,以使用双色SNAP标记系统测试组蛋白的结合和解离时间,分别标记预先存在的和新结合的组蛋白。结合细胞周期同步方法和细胞周期标志物,这种方法可以进行脉冲追踪分析,以确定在细胞周期内使用成像或流式细胞仪方法以单细胞分辨率检测到的组蛋白变体的周转率。除了测试整体组蛋白更新,还可以使用成像方法解决组蛋白变体的细胞周期依赖性细胞定位。
[背景] 染色质重塑是真核细胞众多基本细胞活动的一部分(Geiman 和Robertson,2002;Clapier 和Cairns ,2009)。转录因子和RNA聚合酶的可及性通常与DNA甲基化和染色质状态的变化相关,包括可及性,翻译后的组蛋白修饰和组蛋白变体的沉积。组蛋白变体差异性地调节调节发育,细胞分化或其他生理活动的基因表达(Banaszynski 等,2010)。它们在DNA修复,端粒维护,异染色质形成和染色质分离中也发挥着不同的作用(Henikoff 和Smith,2015; Zink和Hake,2016)。此外,组蛋白变体的掺入失调与癌症有关(Vardabasso et ...
