Project description:We have characterized allele-specific regulation of replication in human cultured primary basophilic erythroblasts using TimEX-seq. We show that in most of the genome the timing of replication of the two chromosome homologs is robustly and tightly regulated since the two alleles replicate almost at the same time. We also show that small genetic differences such as SNPs and indels do not affect replication timing. We identify two major causes of replication asynchrony: the presence of large structural variants and parental imprinting. Both are associated with the formation of asynchronously replicated domains that can reach several megabases in size. We also report that replication timing domains have a previously undetected fine structure. Compare DNA content in cells in S and G1 phase of cell cycle using TimEX-seq The goal of these experiments was to measure the timing of replication in human basophilic erythroblasts in an allele-specific manner by comparing DNA content in cells in S and G1 phase of cell cycle using TimEX-seq. Cells in S phase were obtained by sorting propidium iodide stained exponentially growing basophilic erythroblasts produce after 14 days of culture of circulating peripheral blood stem and progenitor cells. The cells in G1, which are used to normalize the results from the cells in S phase for mapability, were circulating mononuclear cells (WBCs) which are in the G1 cell for the cell cycle at 99.5%. The processed files represent S/G1 ratio values which are surrogate values for the timing of replication. Allele-specific TimEX-seq profiles and hi-resolution non-allele specific profiles are provided at different smoothing levels.

Project description:CTCF and CTCFL DNA binding profile in CTCFL induced and non-induced ES cells.CTCF is a highly conserved and essential zinc finger protein that in conjunction with cohesin organizes chromatin into loops, thereby regulating gene expression and epigenetic events. The function of CTCFL or BORIS, the testis-specific paralogue of CTCF, is less clear. Here, we show that CTCFL is only transiently present during spermatogenesis, prior to the onset of meiosis, when the protein co-localizes in nuclei with ubiquitously expressed CTCF. Our data show that CTCFL is functionally different from CTCF and its absence in mice causes sub-fertility due to a partially penetrant testicular atrophy. Genome-wide studies reveal that CTCFL and CTCF bind similar consensus sequences. However, only ~2000 out of the ~5,700 CTCFL and ~31,000 CTCF binding sites overlap. CTCFL binds promoters with loosely assembled nucleosomes, whereas CTCF favors consensus sites surrounded by phased nucleosomes. Thus, nucleosome dynamics specifies the genome-wide binding of CTCFL and CTCF. We propose that the transient expression of CTCFL in spermatogonia and preleptotene spermatocytes serves to occupy a subset of promoters and maintain the expression of male germ cell genes ChIP-seq for CTCF (with CTCF antibody) and CTCFL (with V5 antibody) in CTCFL_V5_GFP induced and non-induced ES cells

Project description:We report the application of single molecule-based sequencing technology in combination with CXXC affinity purifcation (CAP-seq), MBD affinity purification (MAP-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) to generate reciprocal methylation and chromatin modifcation maps in human and mouse. We find that contrary to sequence based prediction methods that humans and mice possess highly equivalent compliments of CpG islands (CGIs). The majority of these CGIs are positive for the active histone modification; H3K4me3 in embryonic stem cells (ES cells) the magnitude of which is correlated with the local density of non-methylated CpG. Approximately half of the human and mouse CGIs are distal to annotated gene promoters, yet more than 40% identify unanticipated transcription start sites as defined by RNA polymerase occupancy and published RNA mapping data. These orphans CGIs preferentially acquire DNA methylation in somatic cells, and this corresponds with a loss of H3K4me3 and RNA polymerase II at these sites. Conversely abnormal CGI methylation found in colorectal tumours showed a distinct distribution relative to that found in normal somatic tissues displaying preferential association with loci marked by H3K27me3 in human ES cells. This study provides a comprehensive functional assessment of CGIs in normal and diseased tissues. Examination of CGI methylation status in human and mouse primary tissues.

Project description:AdpA is a global transcriptional activator triggering morphological differentiation and secondary metabolism in Streptomyces griseus. AdpA influences expression of >1,000 genes, but the overall picture of AdpA regulon has been obscure. Here, we took snapshots of distribution of AdpA across the chromosome in living S. griseus cells by ChIP/ChAP-seq analysis. In both liquid and solid cultures, AdpA bound to similar >1,200 sites, which were located on not only putative regulatory regions (65 %) but also regions (35 %) that appeared not to affect transcription. Transcriptome analysis indicated that approximately 40% of the AdpA binding sites in putative regulatory regions were involved in gene regulation. AdpA was indicated to act as a transcriptional repressor as well as an activator. Expression profiles of AdpA-target genes were very different between liquid and solid cultures in spite of similar AdpA-binding profiles. We therefore concluded that AdpA directly controls >500 genes in cooperation with other regulatory proteins in many cases. In vitro AdpA binding to the selected 304 AdpA-binding sites was examined, revealing several unique characteristics of AdpA regarding its DNA-binding property. This study gave the first experimental insight into the extent of AdpA regulon, indicating many genes under the direct control of AdpA.

Project description:Temporal analysis of Irf4 and PU.1 genome binding during B cell activation and differentiation in vitro using antigen (NP-Ficoll) CD40L and IL-2/4/5 cytokines (see Molecular Systems Biology 7:495 for details of cellular system). The results provide insight in the target genes and binding specificity of IRF4 and PU.1 during coordination of different programs of B cell differentiation. Regrettably three of the FASTQ raw sequence files in our study were corrupted during storage. FASTQ data from our experimental and control groups are available for download via GEO SRA; however, two groups are missing select raw sequence files. These include one PU.1 Day 3 group file (Sample GSM1133499) and two of four input files used to generate a concatenated “super” input file (Sample GSM1133490); the raw data provided for input consists of the two input files recovered. Importantly, FASTA sequences for both of these datasets are available as supplementary data through GEO, and we can make available upon request (rsciamma@uchicago.edu) all files in our study in the ELAND-extended alignment format. Please note that GEO no longer supports this format. Resting mature peripheral primary B cells were enriched from the spleens of B1-8i (anti-NP gene targeted) mice. We sought to compare the genome-binding landscape of Irf4 and PU.1 prior to differentiation yet after B cell activation (Day 1) and after B cell differentiation (Day 3) of activated B cells into plasma cells (see Molecular Systems Biology 7:495 for description of cellular system). To this end, we used ChIP-seq (using the Illumina GA2 system) to obtain millions of unbiased, genome-wide, binding events. Sequences were mapped to the reference genome (mm9) and enrichment was calculated, relative to an Input sample, using QuEST algorithms.

Project description:Normal brain function critically depends on the interaction between highly specialized neurons that operate within anatomically and functionally distinct brain regions. The fidelity of neuronal specification is contingent upon the robustness of the transcriptional program that supports the neuron type-specific patterns of gene expression. Changes in neuron type-specific gene expression are commonly associated with neurodegenerative disorders including Huntingtonâs and Alzheimerâs disease. The neuronal specification is driven by gene expression programs that are established during early stages of neuronal development and remain in place in the adult brain. Here we show that the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which supports neuron specification during early differentiation, contributes to the suppression of the transcription program that can be detrimental for the adult neuron function. We show that PRC2 deficiency in adult striatal neurons and in cerebellar Purkinje cells impairs the maintenance of neuron-type specific gene expression. The deficiency in PRC2 has a direct impact on a selected group of genes that is dominated by self-regulating transcription factors normally suppressed in these neurons. The age-dependent progressive transcriptional changes in PRC2-deficient neurons are associated with impaired neuronal function and survival and lead to the development of fatal neurodegenerative disorders in mice. Medium Spiny neuronal nuclei were isolated from adult mouse striata via NeuN-specific Flourescence Activated Nuclei Sorting.
