Project description:We report the setup of a new method to map 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) genome-wide at CpG resolution. The method combines selective chemical labeling by 5hmC b-glucosyltransferase and exonuclease digestion of the DNA molecules bound to streptavidin beads after biotinylation of the 5-glucosylmethylcytosines. Associated with a straightforward bioinformatic analysis, this new procedure provides a cost-effective and fast method for mapping 5hmC at high resolution.
Project description:We report the genomic localization of 5-hydroxymethylcytosines in multiple myeloma patients through the use of selective chemical labeling (SCL) and exonuclease digestion. Data highlighted super-enhancers and enhancers specifically undergoing active DNA demethylation in multiple myeloma cells.
Project description:Mapping genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and 5-formylcytosine (5fC) at single-base resolution is important to understand their biological functions. We present a cost-efficient mapping method that combines 5hmC-specific restriction enzyme PvuRts1I with a 5hmC enrichment method. The sensitive method enables detection of low abundant 5hmC sites, providing a more complete 5hmC landscape than available bisulfite-based methods. This method generated the first genome-wide 5fC map at single-base resolution. Parallel analyses revealed that 5hmC and 5fC existed with lower abundance and more dynamically in non-CpG context than in CpG context. In the genic region, distribution of 5hmCpG and 5fCpG differed from 5hmCH and 5fCH (H=A, T, C). 5hmC and 5fC were distributed distinctly at regulatory protein-DNA binding sites, depleted in permissive transcription factor binding sites, and enriched at active and poised enhancers. This sensitive bisulfite-conversion free method can be applied to biological samples with limited starting material or low abundance of cytosine modifications. Sensitive mapping of genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and 5-formylcytosine in mouse embryonic stem cell at single-base resolution by combining 5-hydroxymethylcytosine specific restriction enzyme PvuRts1I and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine enrichment method (selective chemical labeling or SEAL)
Project description:RNA aliquots were digested with 5’-phosphate-dependent exonuclease (5'-exo) following pre-treatment with tobacco acid pyrophosphatase (TAP) to release the 5’ cap and render the RNA susceptible to 5’ exonuclease digestion (TAP+/5'-exo+). Two color array hybridizations were performed and TAP+/5'-exo+ samples were compared with TAP-/5'-exo+ control samples.

Project description:To identify the sequences responsible for recruitment of Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to individual loci, we performed ChIP-seq and ChIP-exo that combines chromatin immunoprecipitation with an exonuclease digestion step. We performed these experiments in three cell lines : IMR90 (ATTC:CCL-186), U2OS osteosarcoma cell lines, K562 (ATCC:CCL243), upon glucocorticoid treatment.
Project description:We present here a novel approach called Reduced Representation 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine Profiling (RRHP), which exploits ?-glucosyltransferase (?-GT) to inhibit restriction digestion at adapters ligated to a genomic library, such that only fragments presenting glucosylated 5hmC residues at adapter junctions will be amplified and sequenced. This assay profiles 5hmC sites with single-base resolution in a strand-specific manner. The absence of harsh chemical conversion steps allows for sequencing of native DNA with less inputs, enhancing both sequencing quality and mapping efficiency. Most importantly, the method proves highly reproducible and is a positive display method, sensitive enough to interrogate 5hmC sites with low abundance. When combined with existing RRBS data, it allows simultaneous comparison of 5mC and 5hmC at specific site. developing a new assay for genomic profiling of 5hmC

Project description:The human K562 chronic myeloid leukemia cell line has long served as an experimental paradigm for functional genomic studies. To systematically and functionally annotate the human genome, the ENCODE consortium generated hundreds of functional genomic data sets, such as ChIP-seq. While ChIP-seq analyses have provided tremendous insights into gene regulation, spatiotemporal insights were limited by a resolution of several hundred base pairs. ChIP-exonuclease (ChIP-exo) is a refined version of ChIP-seq that overcomes this limitation by providing higher precision mapping of protein-DNA interactions. To study the interplay of transcription initiation and chromatin, we profiled the genome-wide locations for RNA-polymerase II (Pol II), the histone variant H2A.Z, and the histone modification H3K4me3 using ChIP-seq and ChIP-exo.
