PADI4 ChIP-chip from MCF-7 cells

ABSTRACT: Peptidylarginine deiminase IV (PADI4) catalyzes the conversion of positively charged arginine and methylarginine residues to neutrally charged citrulline residues on histone tails. This activity has been linked to the repression of gene transcription on a limited number of genes. To broaden our knowledge of the regulatory potential of PADI4, we utilized chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with promoter tiling array (ChIP-chip) to more comprehensively investigate the range of PADI4 target genes across the genome in MCF-7 cells. Results showed that PADI4 is enriched in the gene promoter regions near the transcription start sites (TSSs) and, surprisingly, this pattern of binding is primarily associated with actively transcribed genes. Computational analysis found Elk-1, a member of the ETS
