Genome-wide analysis of Groucho in Drosophila Kc167 and S2R+ cell lines

ABSTRACT: In this study we have used ChIP followed by high throughput sequencing to profile the genome-wide recruitment of wildtype and non-oligomerizing Groucho (Gro) at high resolution in single cell types (Kc167 and S2R+) using Drosophila cell culture. Our results reveal that Gro is typically recruited to discrete peaks in active chromatin and that blocking Gro oligomerization does not change the width of the peaks to which it is recruited. We have also investigated acetylated histone H3 and H4 and RNA polymerase II profiles around Gro binding sites, along with gene expression, in wildtype, Gro knockdown, Gro-GFP transfected, and non-oligomerizing Gro-GFP transfected Kc167 cells and found that Gro associates with chromatin containing hypoacetylated histones and frequently overlaps the transcripti
