Project description:We report the application of ChIP sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of H3K79me2 in prostate cancer cells. We generated genome-wide maps of LNCaP and PC3 cells that were treated with the specific DOT1L inhibitor EPZ004777. We find that lysine 79 dimethylation is sensitive to DOT1L inhibition in both cell lines, however the enrichment of K79 methylated peaks differed between the two cell lines.
Project description:H3K79 dimethylation is a mark of transcriptional elongation. To gain insight into the set of genes actively transcribed in MEFs, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed to determine the presence of H3K79me2 across the genome. DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing. ChIP was performed using an antibody against H3K79me2.

Project description:H3K27me3 is a chromatin modification depositied by Suz12, a component of the Polycomb Group 2 complex, and is associated with transcriptional repression. In contrast, H3K79me2 is a chromatin modification associated with active gene transcription. It is deposited by the histone methyltransferase Dot1L and generally is localized just downstream of the transcriptional start site and extends down the body of the gene. To gain insight into the transcriptional state of genes in hES cells, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed to determine the genome-wide occupancy of the H3K27me3 and H3K79me2 chromatin modifications and genome-wide occupancy of the Suz12. DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing A sample of whole cell extract was sequenced and used as the background to determine enrichment. ChIP was performed using an antibody against H3K27me3, H3K79me2, and Suz12 (Abcam).
Project description:We performed ChIP-Seq against histones H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and H3K79me2 in MCF10A cells to identify transcription factors with bivalent and pseudo-bivalent epigenetic modifications.
