Biotinylated Tn5 transposase-mediated CUT&Tag efficiently profiles transcription factor-DNA interactions in plants.

ABSTRACT: In contrast to CUT&Tag approaches for profiling bulk histone modifications, current CUT&Tag methods for analysing specific transcription factor (TF)-DNA interactions remain technically challenging due to TFs having relatively low abundance. Moreover, an efficient CUT&Tag strategy for plant TFs is not yet available. Here, we first applied biotinylated Tn5 transposase-mediated CUT&Tag (B-CUT&Tag) to produce high-quality libraries for interrogating TF-DNA interactions. B-CUT&Tag combines streptavidin-biotin-based DNA purification with routine CUT&Tag, optimizing the removal of large amounts of intact chromatin not targeted by specific TFs. The biotinylated chromatin fragments are then purified for construction of deep sequencing libraries or qPCR analysis. We applied B-CUT&Tag to probe genome
