Multiplexed identification of the genomic targets of DNA-binding proteins

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors direct gene expression, and so there is much interest in mapping their genome-wide binding locations. M-BM- Current methods do not allow for the multiplexed analysis of TF binding, and this limits their throughput. We describe a novel method for determining the genomic target genes of multiple transcription factors simultaneously. DNA-binding proteins are endowed with the ability to direct transposon insertions into the genome near to where they bind. The transposon becomes a M-bM-^@M-^\Calling CardM-bM-^@M-^] marking the visit of the DNA-binding protein to that location. A unique sequence M-bM-^@M-^\barcodeM-bM-^@M-^] in the transposon matches it to the DNA-binding protein that directed its insertion. The sequences of the DNA flanking the transposon (which reveal where in the genome the transposon landed) and the barcode within the transposon (which identifies the TF that put it there) are determined by massively-parallel DNA sequencing. To demonstrate the methodM-bM-^@M-^Ys feasibility, we determined the genomic targets of eight transcription factors in a single experiment. The Calling Card method promises to significantly reduce the cost and labor needed to determine the genomic targets of many transcription factors in different environmental conditions and genetic backgrounds. These data contain Ty5 insertion sites mapped by an Illumina GAII analyzer in the S. cerevisiae genome for the background strain without any Sir4 present (1 run), in strains expressing Sir4-tagged copies of three well-characterized TFs: Gal4, Leu3, and Gcn4 (1 run each), and a multiplex of eight Sir4-tagged TFs pooled in a single experiment (2 biological replicates), and insertions from the Thi2-Sir4 fusion expressed from its native locus in two conditions (1 run each). The format of each insertions file is [chromosome number] [position of genomic base] [direction of insertion] [number of reads at that position]. Raw sequencing data comes in two varieties. Paired-end data contains a 5 bp barcode at the beginning of read #2. Single-end data contains a 2 bp barcode on the beggining of read #1.

Project description:Somatic transposon mutagenesis in mice is an efficient strategy to investigate the genetic mechanisms of tumorigenesis. The identification of tumor driving transposon insertions traditionally requires the generation of large tumor cohorts to obtain information about common insertion sites. Tumor driving insertions are also characterized by their clonal expansion in tumor tissue, a phenomenon that is facilitated by the slow and evolving transformation process of transposon mutagenesis. We describe here an improved approach for the detection of tumor driving insertions that assesses the clonal expansion of insertions by quantifying the relative proportion of sequence reads obtained in individual tumors. To this end, we have developed a protocol for insertion site sequencing that utilizes acoustic shearing of tumor DNA and Illumina sequencing. We analyzed various solid tumors generated by PiggyBac mutagenesis and for each tumor >10^6 reads corresponding to >10^4 insertion sites were obtained. In each tumor, 9 to 25 insertions stood out by their enriched sequence read frequencies when compared to frequencies obtained from tail DNA controls. These enriched insertions are potential clonally expanded tumor driving insertions, and thus identify candidate cancer genes. The candidate cancer genes of our study comprised many established cancer genes, but also novel candidate genes such as Mastermind-like1 (Mamld1) and Diacylglycerolkinase delta (Dgkd). We show that clonal expansion analysis by high-throughput sequencing is a robust approach for the identification of candidate cancer genes in insertional mutagenesis screens on the level of individual tumors. Solid tumors in mice were generated by somatic transposon mutagenesis with a PiggyBac transposon system. Insertion sites of transposons in 11 tumors and 6 non-cancerous tail controls were determined by Illumina high-throughput sequencing. Insertions were determined both on 5' and 3' sides of the transposon (PB5 and PB3, respectively). Quantitative analysis of read numbers revealed enrichment of certain insertions in tumors, but not in controls, and these enriched insertions identify candidate cancer genes.
