DNA-protein interactions play fundamental roles in diverse biological functions. The gene-centered method is used to identify the upstream regulators of defined genes. In this study, we developed a novel method for capturing the proteins that bind to certain chromatin fragments or DNA sequences, which is called reverse chromatin immunoprecipitation (R-ChIP). This technology uses a set of specific DNA probes labeled with biotin to isolate chromatin or DNA fragments, and the DNA-associated proteins are then analyzed using mass spectrometry. This method can capture DNA-associated proteins with sufficient quantity and purity for identification.
DNA-蛋白质相互作用在各种生物功能中发挥着基础性作用。基因中心法被用于鉴定特定基因的上游调控因子。在本研究中，我们开发了一种新的方法来捕获与特定染色质片段或 DNA 序列结合的蛋白质，称为反向染色质免疫沉淀（R-ChIP）。该技术使用一组带有生物素标记的特定 DNA 探针来分离染色质或 DNA 片段，然后使用质谱分析法分析与 DNA 相关的蛋白质。该方法可以捕获足够数量和纯度的与 DNA 相关的蛋白质，以进行鉴定。
