The biological functions of given genomic regions are ruled by the local chromatin composition. The Proteomics of Isolated Chromatin segments approach (PICh) is a powerful and unbiased method to analyze the composition of chosen chromatin segments, provided they are abundant (repeated) or that the organism studied has a small genome. PICh can be used to identify novel and unexpected regulatory factors, or when combined with quantitative mass spectrometric approaches, to characterize the function of a defined factor at the chosen locus, by quantifying composition changes at the locus upon removal/addition of that factor.
特定基因组区域的生物学功能由局部染色质组成决定。分离染色质片段蛋白质组学方法(PICh)是一种强大且无偏倚的方法,用于分析所选染色质片段的组成,前提是它们丰富(重复)或者所研究的生物体基因组较小。PICh可用于识别新的和意想不到的调控因子,或者与定量质谱方法结合使用,通过在去除/添加该因子后对所选位点的组成变化进行定量,来表征特定因子在所选位点的功能。
