Abstract

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is used to evaluate the interaction of proteins and genomic DNA. In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is highly compacted with the evolutionarily conserved histone proteins (which together with DNA form the nucleosome) and other chromosomal-associated proteins to form the chromatin structure. Chromatin structure is dynamically regulated by several mechanisms including transcription factor binding and various posttranslational modifications of the histone proteins. The chromatin structure can be affected by environmental factors, such as those that induce differentiation or promote self-renewal in stem cells. Using very specific antibodies, one can evaluate the specific amino acids within the histones and each one of these modifications is associated with a distinct DNA-templated process, including transcription. Therefore, determining the location of transcription factors and histone modifications can yield important insights into the DNA-associated activities that are occurring at that particular region of the genome at that time. ChIP followed by high-throughput DNA sequencing (ChIP-Seq) provides a means to rapidly determine the precise genomic location of transcription factor binding sites and histone modifications on a genome-wide scale. Genome-wide mapping of histone modifications and chromatin-associated proteins have already begun to reveal the mechanisms responsible for regulating the pattern of gene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells. However, similar studies in human embryonic stem cells are currently lacking due to the difficulty in obtaining the large number of purified cells typically required for ChIP and ChIP-Seq experiments. Here, we describe a detailed method for determining the locations of specific histone modifications using only one million cells.

摘要

染色质免疫沉淀(ChIP)用于评估蛋白质与基因组DNA的相互作用。在真核细胞中,DNA与进化上保守的组蛋白(其与DNA一起形成核小体)和其他染色体相关蛋白高度紧密结合,形成染色质结构。染色质结构通过多种机制动态调节,包括转录因子结合和组蛋白的各种翻译后修饰。染色质结构会受到环境因素的影响,例如那些诱导干细胞分化或促进其自我更新的因素。使用非常特异性的抗体,可以评估组蛋白内的特定氨基酸,并且这些修饰中的每一种都与不同的DNA模板化过程相关,包括转录。因此,确定转录因子和组蛋白修饰的位置可以深入了解当时在基因组的那个特定区域发生的与DNA相关的活动。ChIP与高通量DNA测序相结合(ChIP-Seq)提供了一种在全基因组范围内快速确定转录因子结合位点和组蛋白修饰的精确基因组位置的方法。全基因组范围内组蛋白修饰和染色质相关蛋白的图谱绘制已经开始揭示调节小鼠胚胎干细胞基因表达模式的机制。然而,由于难以获得ChIP和ChIP-Seq实验通常所需的大量纯化细胞,目前缺乏对人类胚胎干细胞的类似研究。在这里,我们描述了一种仅使用一百万个细胞来确定特定组蛋白修饰位置的详细方法。
