Project description:Comparison of the transcriptome of immortalised mouse kidney epithelial cells either wt for Fh1 or Fh1-deficient. The cells were isolated from kidneys of P5 mouse(see Frezza et al, Nature 2011). Briefly, Fh1_fl (flox) are wt for Fh1 (floxed cassette not excised), clone 1 and clone 19 are two different Fh1-deificent clones (floxed cassette excised) and Rec are clone 19 with reconstituted Fh1 expression from exogenous plasmid.
Project description:To identify the transcriptional targets of Foxa2, we treated Fh1-WT or Fh1-KO cells with either siNT or siFoxa2 and subsequent RNA-sequencing.
Project description:Haematopoiesis-specific Fh1 deletion causes lethal foetal liver haematopoietic defects. To understand the impact of Fh1 deletion on the transcriptome of foetal liver Lin- c-Kit+ cells we preformed microarray analysis. To conditionally delete Fh1 in the foetal liver we used the Vav-iCre recombinase and a Fh1 flox allele. Foetal livers were dissected and used to generate a single cell suspension. Lin- c-Kit+ cells were FACS sorted and lysed for total RNA preparation. We collected samples from 4 experimental animals (Fh1 fl/fl; Vav-iCre/+) and 3 control animals (Fh1 fl/fl).
Project description:In each cell type the expression of genes is regulated by the action of a large number of transcription factors, but so far we have only a rudimentary knowledge of the location of the gene regulatory elements where they bind. This can now be addressed with genome-wide ChIP experiments. In a previous ChIP-chip study of USF1 and USF2 we found evidence also of binding of GABP, FOXA2 and HNF4a within the enriched regions. Here we have applied ChIP-seq for these transcription factors and identified 3064 peaks of enrichment for GABP, 7266 for FOXA2 and 18783 for HNF4a. HNF4a and FOXA2 binding was found in at least half of the regions previously identified as bound by USF2 but not USF1, showing that they frequently bind the same regulatory elements. GABP peaks were found at transcription start sites whereas 94 % of FOXA2 and 90 % of HNF4a peaks were located at other positions. We developed a method based on the high resolution achieved by ChIP-seq to accurately define TFBS within peaks, and found the predicted sites to have an elevated conservation level compared to peak centers; however the majority of bindings were not evolutionary conserved. An unexpected interaction between HNF4a and GABP was seen at TSS, with as many as 1/3 of the HNF4a positive promoters being bound also by GABP, and co-immunoprecipitations show that these factors are in the same complex in the nucleus.
Project description:Genome wide mapping of RNA polymearase III binding sites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under normal growth and nutrient starved condition using ChIP-seq. Chromatin Immuno-precipitation (ChIP) was performed for FLAG tagged version of pol III subunit RPC128 after crosslinking the log-phase cells with formaldehyde. MOCK and IP DNA was sequenced and coverage of pol III was calculated at each base of the genome. RPC128-FLAG ChIP-seq single end seqquencing on Illumina GAII. 2 replicates of IP samples and 1 MOCK sample. Done in under normal growth and nutrient deprivation (4 hours).
