Improved spike-in normalization clarifies the relationship between active histone modifications and transcription

ABSTRACT: Spike-in normalization enables quantitative analysis of ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) signal. Here we introduce a novel robust dual-spike-in normalization approach for ChIP-seq (ChIP-wrangler) and revisit recent claims that active histone marks are dependent on transcription. Concerned that previous studies improperly used spike-in normalization to arrive at their conclusions, we used ChIP-wrangler to show that acute depletion of RNA polymerase II has only a modest impact on the levels of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac. In line with other studies, our results provide proof that the maintenance of histone acetylation is not merely a consequence of ongoing transcription. Our innovative ChIP-seq normalization approach provides increased rigor and “guardrails” for successful spike-in normalization, and as applied here refines the understanding of the intricate crosstalk between RNA polymerase II activity and histone marks associated with transcription

Global ChIP-seq Normalization Reveals Epigenome Modulations

Project description:Epigenomic profiling by ChIP-seq is a prevailing methodology used to investigate chromatin-based regulation in biological systems, such as human disease, yet the lack of an empirical methodology to normalize amongst experiments has limited the usefulness of this technique. Here we describe a “spike-in” normalization method that allows the quantitative comparison of histone modification status across cell populations using defined quantities of a reference epigenome. We demonstrate the utility of this method in measuring epigenomic changes following chemical perturbations and show how control normalization of ChIP-seq experiments enables discovery of disease-relevant changes in histone modification occupancy.

"The Wild West of Spike-in Normalization": Benchmarking the ChIP-seq spike-in normalization method

Project description:Spike-in normalization is a powerful approach to assess global changes in data obtained from genomic mapping of DNA-associated proteins by methods such as ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) or CUT&RUN. While multiple spike-in methods provide detailed documentation, the implementation of these approaches often omit critical quality control steps and veer from the established procedures. Here, we show that proper application of spike-in normalization can increase quantification accuracy across a spectrum of conditions. Next, we outline how misuse of spike-in approaches can create erroneous biological interpretations and provide guidelines to minimize pitfalls when applying this approach to normalize data from protein-DNA interaction results.

SNP-ChIP: a versatile and tag-free method to quantify changes in protein binding across the genome

Project description:SNP-ChIP is a novel method leveraging small-scale intra-species genetic polymorphisms, mainly SNPs, to allow quantitative spike-in normalization of ChIP-seq results. SNP-ChIP uses a different strain of the same organism as the spike-in material and can be applied to any organism for which genome assemblies are available for two different strains or individuals with sufficient genetic diversity. This ensures antibody cross-reactivity and thus extends the applicability of the method beyond the small number of highly conserved proteins. It also ensures complete physiological coherence between the test and the spike-in cells. In this work we develop and validate the method using test cases from budding yeast meiosis. We use strains with ~0.7% genomic sequence divergence as test strain background and the spike-in strain, respectively. Sequencing reads are mapped to a hybrid genome, with naturally occurring sequence polymorphisms allowing assignment of most reads to one of the two genomes. By targeting the yeast chromosomal protein Red1, we show that SNP-ChIP reliably identifies previously reported changes in overall protein levels, irrespective of changes in binding distribution. We also show that SNP-ChIP is robust to wide changes in sequencing depth, as well as the amount of spike-in material. SNP-ChIP allowed discovery of novel regulators of global Red1 protein accumulation and is also shown to allow quantitative analysis of the DNA-damage associated histone modification gamma-H2AX. SNP-ChIP is a robust and versatile spike-in normalization method that can be used with any target against which a ChIP-grade antibody is available and for any organisms with sufficient intra-species diversity, including most model organisms as well as human cells.

Novel small RNA spike-in oligonucleotides enable absolute normalization of small RNA-Seq data

Project description:Normalization of high-throughput small RNA sequencing (sRNA-Seq) data is required to compare sRNA levels across different samples. Commonly used relative normalization approaches can cause erroneous conclusions due to fluctuating small RNA populations between tissues. We developed a set of sRNA spike-in oligonucleotides (sRNA spike-ins) that enable absolute normalization of sRNA-Seq data across independent experiments, as well as the genome-wide estimation of sRNA:mRNA stoichiometries when used together with mRNA spike-in oligonucleotides.

ChIP-seq data processing and relative and quantitative signal normalization for Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a widely used technique for genome-wide analyses of protein-DNA interactions. This protocol provides a guide to ChIP-seq data processing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with a focus on signal normalization to address data biases and enable meaningful comparisons within and between samples. Designed for researchers with minimal bioinformatics experience, it includes practical overviews and refers to scripting examples for key tasks, such as configuring computational environments, trimming and aligning reads, processing alignments, and visualizing signals. This protocol employs the sans-spike-in method for quantitative ChIP-seq (siQ-ChIP) and normalized coverage for absolute and relative comparisons of ChIP-seq data, respectively. While spike-in normalization, which is semiquantitative, is addressed for context, siQ-ChIP and normalized coverage are recommended as mathematically rigorous and reliable alternatives.

Regulation of Histone Acetylation by SUMOylation Through TFAP2C Binding to the Chromatin and Recruitment of HDAC Complex

Project description:Enhancers are fundamental to gene regulation. Post-translational modifications by the small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMO) modify chromatin regulation enzymes, including histone acetylases and deacetylases. However, it remains unclear whether SUMOylation regulates enhancer marks, acetylation at the 27th lysine residue of the histone H3 protein (H3K27Ac). We hypothesize that SUMOylation regulates H3K27Ac. To test this hypothesis, we performed genome-wide ChIP-seq analyses. We discovered that knockdown (KD) of the SUMO activating enzyme catalytic subunit UBA2 reduced H3K27Ac at most enhancers. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that TFAP2C-binding sites are enriched in enhancers whose H3K27Ac was reduced by UBA2 KD. ChIP-seq analysis in combination with molecular biological methods showed that TFAP2C binding to enhancers increased upon UBA2 KD or inhibition of SUMOylation by a small molecule SUMOylation inhibitor. However, this is not due to the SUMOylation of TFAP2C itself. Proteomics analysis of TFAP2C interactome on the chromatin identified histone deacetylation (HDAC) machinery. TFAP2C KD reduced HDAC binding to chromatin and increased H3K27Ac marks at enhancer regions, suggesting that TFAP2C is involved in recruiting HDAC. Taken together, our findings provide important insights into regulation of enhancer marks by SUMOylation.

Chromatin proteomics reveals novel combinatorial histone modification signatures that mark distinct subpopulations of macrophage enhancers

Project description:The integrated activity of cis-regulatory elements fine-tunes transcriptional programs of mammalian cells by recruiting cell type–specific as well as ubiquitous transcription factors (TFs). Despite their key role in modulating transcription, enhancers are still poorly characterized at the molecular level, and their limited DNA sequence conservation in evolution and variable distance from target genes make their unbiased identification challenging. The coexistence of high mono-methylation and low tri-methylation levels of lysine 4 of histone H3 is considered a signature of enhancers, but a comprehensive view of histone modifications associated to enhancers is still lacking. By combining chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with mass spectrometry, we investigated cis-regulatory regions in macrophages to comprehensively identify histone marks specifically associated with enhancers, and to profile their dynamics after transcriptional activation elicited by an inflammatory stimulation. The intersection of the proteomics data with ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses revealed the existence of novel subpopulations of enhancers, marked by specific histone modification signatures: specifically, H3K36me2/K4me1 marks transcribed enhancers, while H3K36me3/K4me1 and H3K79me2/K4me1 combinations mark distinct classes of intronic enhancers. Thus, our MS analysis of functionally distinct genomic regions revealed the combinatorial code of histone modifications, highlighting the potential of proteomics in addressing fundamental questions in epigenetics.
