Project description:The H4K16 acetyltransferase MOF plays a crucial role in dosage compensation in Drosophila, but has additional, global functions. We compared the molecular context and effect of MOF in male and female flies combining chromosome-wide mapping and transcriptome studies with analyses of defined reporter loci in transgenic flies. MOF distributes dynamically between two complexes, the Dosage Compensation Complex and a complex containing MBD-R2, a global facilitator of transcription. These different targeting principles define the distribution of MOF between the X chromosome and autosomes and at transcription units with 5’ or 3’ enrichment. The male X chromosome differs from all other chromosomes in that H4K16 acetylation levels do not correlate with transcription output. The reconstitution of this phenomenon at a model locus revealed that the activation potential of MOF is constraint in male cells in the context of the DCC to arrive at the two-fold activation of transcription characteristic of dosage compensation. ChIP-chip profiling of MBD-R2, MOF and MSL1 in adult male and female flies, and SL2 cells, incl. at least 3 biological replicates

Project description:We identified about 3000 CTCF sites in the genome. In addition to binding to CTCF sites we found CP190 to bind to transcriptional start sites of actively transcribed genes where it inversely correlates with nucleosome occupancy. Keywords: ChIP-chip CTCF and CP190 ChIP. 2 biological replicates per experiment. dye-swaps as indicated in sample description.

Project description:The MOF-containing NSL complex binds to many but not all promoters of active genes and potentially contributes to their proper gene expression. It is currently unknown what determines whether an active gene is bound or not. Here, we provide evidence that the NSL complex primarily targets active promoters of most housekeeping genes. There, it co-localizes with the chromatin remodeler NURF and the histone methyltransferase Trithorax. Moreover, despite binding to most housekeeping genes, the NSL complex regulates only a subset of them, which are depleted for certain insulator binding-proteins and enriched for the core promoter motif “Ohler 5”. We suggest that the combination of general chromatin factors and core promoter motifs is predictive for whether a housekeeping gene is transcriptionally regulated by the NSL complex.

Project description:Epigenetic modifications, such as aberrant DNA promoter methylation is frequently observed in cervical cancer. Identification of hypermethylated regions maybe useful for discrimination between normal cervical epithelium and high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) or worse may improve current cervical cancer population-based screening programs. In this study, the DNA methylome of high-grade CIN lesions were characterised using genome-wide methylation screening to identify potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of cervical neoplasia. Methyl-DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) combined with DNA microarray was used to compare DNA methylation profiles of epithelial cells derived from high-grade CIN lesions with normal cervical epithelium resulting in the identification of hypermethylated differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Validation of 9 selected DMRs by MSP or BSP in cervical tissue revealed methylation in 63.2-94.7% high-grade CIN and in 59.3-100% cervical carcinomas. QMSP for the two most significant high-grade CIN-specific methylation markers was applied exploring test performance in a large series of cervical scrapings. Frequency and relative level of methylation were significantly different between normal and cancer samples (p<0.001). Clinical validation of both markers in cervical scrapings from patients referred with an abnormal cervical smear, confirmed that frequency and relative level of methylation were related with increasing severity of the underlying CIN lesion (p<0.001) and the ROC analysis was discriminative (p<0.005). These possible methylation markers represent COL25A1 and KATNAL2 promoters and their observed increased methylation upon progression is in agreement with their biological function (cytoskeleton regulation). In conclusion, our newly identified hypermethylated DMRs represent specific DNA methylation patterns in high-grade CIN lesions and could be potential biomarkers for early detection.

MeDIP with subsequent microarray analysis was performed on DNA isolated from frozen macrodissected epithelial tissue of CIN3 lesions (n=15) and normal cervices (n=10).
