Brassinosteroids (BRs) play important roles in many growth and developmental processes. BRs signal to regulate BR-INSENSITIVE1-ETHYL METHANESULFONATE-SUPPRESSOR1 (BES1) and BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT1 (BZR1) transcription factors (TFs), which, in turn, regulate several hundreds of transcription factors (termed BES1/BZR1-targeted TFs or BTFs) and thousands of genes to mediate various BR responses. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) with BES1/BZR1 and BTFs is an important approach to identify BR target genes. In combination with RNA-sequencing experiments, these genomic methods have become powerful tools to detect BR target genes and reveal transcriptional networks underlying BR-regulated processes.
油菜素甾醇(BRs)在许多生长和发育过程中发挥着重要作用。BRs信号传导以调节BR不敏感1-乙基甲磺酸酯抑制因子1(BES1)和油菜素唑抗性1(BZR1)转录因子(TFs),反过来,这些转录因子又调节数百种转录因子(称为BES1/BZR1靶向TFs或BTFs)和数千个基因,以介导各种BR反应。用BES1/BZR1和BTFs进行染色质免疫沉淀后高通量测序(ChIP-seq)是鉴定BR靶基因的重要方法。结合RNA测序实验,这些基因组方法已成为检测BR靶基因和揭示BR调控过程潜在转录网络的强大工具。
