Maintenance of pluripotency is regulated by a network of transcription factors coordinated by Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog (OSN), yet a systematic investigation of the composition and dynamics of the OSN protein network specifically on chromatin is still missing. Here we have developed a method combining ChIP with selective isolation of chromatin-associated proteins (SICAP) followed by mass spectrometry to identify chromatin-bound partners of a protein of interest. ChIP-SICAP in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) identified over 400 proteins associating with OSN, including several whose interaction depends on the pluripotent state. Trim24, a previously unrecognized protein in the network, converges with OSN on multiple enhancers and suppresses the expression of developmental genes while activating cell cycle genes. Consistently, Trim24 significantly improved efficiency of cellular reprogramming, demonstrating its direct functionality in establishing pluripotency. Collectively, ChIP-SICAP provides a powerful tool to decode chromatin protein composition, further enhanced by its integrative capacity to perform ChIP-seq.
多能性的维持受由Oct4、Sox2和Nanog(OSN)协调的转录因子网络调控,但对于OSN蛋白网络在染色质上的组成和动态变化仍缺乏系统的研究。在此,我们开发了一种将染色质免疫沉淀(ChIP)与染色质相关蛋白的选择性分离(SICAP)相结合,随后进行质谱分析的方法,以鉴定目标蛋白的染色质结合伙伴。在小鼠胚胎干细胞(ESC)中进行的ChIP-SICAP实验鉴定出了400多种与OSN相互作用的蛋白质,其中包括几种其相互作用依赖于多能状态的蛋白质。Trim24是该网络中一种此前未被识别的蛋白质,它在多个增强子上与OSN汇聚,抑制发育基因的表达,同时激活细胞周期基因。一致地,Trim24显著提高了细胞重编程的效率,证明了其在建立多能性方面的直接功能。总的来说,ChIP-SICAP为解码染色质蛋白质组成提供了一个强大的工具,其执行ChIP-seq的整合能力进一步增强了这一工具的作用。
