Genome-wide identification of accessible chromatin regions by ATAC-seq upon induction of the transcription factor bZIP11 in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Basic leucine zipper 11 (bZIP11) is a transcription factor that is activated under low energy conditions in plants and plays a crucial role in enabling plants to adapt to starvation situations. Although previous results indicate that bZIP11 regulates chromatin accessibility based on evidence obtained from single genomic loci, to what extent this transcription factor regulates the chromatin landscape at the whole genome level remains unknown. Here we addressed this by performing an ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing) on Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) leaf protoplasts to obtain a profile of chromatin patterning in response upon bZIP11 induction. We identified, on average, 10,000 differentially accessible regions upon bZIP11 induction, cor
