Tissue- and isoform-specific protein complex analysis with natively processed bait proteins

ABSTRACT: Protein-protein interaction analysis is an important tool to elucidate the function of proteins and protein complexes as well as their dynamic behavior. To date, the analysis of tissue- or even cell- or compartment-specific protein interactions is still relying on the availability of specific antibodies suited for immunoprecipitation. Here, we aimed at establishing a method that allows identification of protein interactions and complexes from intact tissues independent of specific, high affinity antibodies used for protein pull-down and isolation. Tagged bait proteins were expressed in human HEK293T cells and residual interactors removed by SDS. The resulting tag-fusion protein was then used as bait to pull proteins from tissue samples. Tissue-specific interactions were reproducibly identified from porcine retina as well as from retinal pigment epithelium using the ciliary protein lebercilin as bait. Further, murine heart-specific interactors of two gene products of the 3’,5’-cyclic guanosine-3’,5’-monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase type I were investigated. Here, specific interactions were associated with the Iα and Iβ gene products, that differ only in their unique amino-terminal region comprising about 100 AS. As such, the new protocol provides a fast and reliable method for tissue-specific protein complex analysis which is independent of the availability or suitability of antibodies for immunoprecipitation.

Project description:Sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins including transcription factors (TFs) are key determinants of gene regulation and chromatin architecture. Formaldehyde cross-linking and sonication followed by Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation (X-ChIP) and sequencing is widely used for genome-wide profiling of protein binding, but is limited by low resolution and poor specificity and sensitivity. We have implemented a simple genome-wide ChIP protocol that starts with micrococcal nuclease-digested uncross-linked chromatin followed by affinity purification and paired-end sequencing without size-selection. The resulting ORGANIC (Occupied Regions of Genomes from Affinity-purified Naturally Isolated Chromatin) profiles of the budding yeast TFs Abf1 and Reb1 achieved near-perfect accuracy, in contrast to other profiling methods, which were much less sensitive and specific. Unlike profiles produced using X-ChIP methods such as ChIP-exo, ORGANIC profiles are not biased toward identifying sites in accessible chromatin and do not require input normalization. We also demonstrate the high specificity of our method when applied to larger genomes by profiling Drosophila GAGA Factor and Pipsqueak. Taken together, these results suggest that ORGANIC profiling outperforms current X-ChIP methodologies for genome-wide profiling of TF binding sites. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of micrococcal nuclease-digested native chromatin followed by paired-end sequencing (Occupied Regions of Genomes from Affinity-purified Naturally Isolated Chromatin 'ORGANIC' profiling) of DNA-binding proteins Abf1 and Reb1 from S. cerevisiae and GAGA-binding factor (GAF) and Pipsqueak (Psq) from D. melanogaster S2 cells; and, Sono-seq (paired-end sequencing of formaldehyde cross-linked and sonicated chromatin) of yeast nuclei. Reb1 ORGANIC profiling was performed at three different salt (NaCl) concentrations (80, 150, and 600 mM) and Abf1 ORGANIC profiling was done at two different salt concentrations (80 and 600 mM) to achieve varying levels of stringency. GAF and Psq ORGANIC profiles were determined at 80 mM salt. Two replicates each of Reb1 and Abf1 600 mM ORGANIC experiments, mixed Drosophila S2 cell and S. cerevisiae nuclei Reb1 ORGANIC experiments, yeast Sono-seq, and GAF and Psq ORGANIC experiments were performed. Each S. cerevisiae and mixed S2 cell/yeast ORGANIC profiling experiment included separately sequenced input chromatin and ChIP samples. Total of 24 samples.

Project description:While the majority of protein-coding genes in the human genome have been identified, the location of the regulatory sequences that control their expression in time and space remains poorly defined. The importance of identifying these elements is underscored by a growing number of studies (such as GWAS) supporting a relationship between variation in non-coding sequences and human disease. M-BM- emonstrated that ChIP-Seq with p300 directly on human or mouse tissues represents a powerful method to identify the location and tissue-specific activity pattern of enhancers in the genome.M-BM- a highly specific chromatin mark for the prediction of in vivo enhancers, it is not without limitations. M-BM- comparison of p300-bound regions with previously generated enhancer sets shows that the majority of enhancers are activated independently of p300. To attempt to identify a larger proportion of enhancers in vivo, we have focused on several additional transcriptional coactivators that are hypothesized to be associated with active tissue-specific enhancers. M-BM- limited availability of ChIP-seq grade antibodies for these coactivators, FLAG-tag knock-in mice were generated and ChIP-seq using a FLAG antibody was performed on various tissues from e11.5 mouse embryos. Indeed, as these mouse lines have become available we have validated their valuable role as marks for transcriptional enhancers in vivo.M-BM- studies are expected to further expand the catalogue of in vivo functional enhancers, which will aid in the decoding of the regulatory genome and provide new insights into the role of gene regulation in human biology and disease. In addition to FLAG data, this accession includes histone acetylation / methylation ChIP-seq data from e11.5 mouse embryonic tissues. Histone ChIP-seq data was used in combination with FLAG data for various computational analyses.

Project description:Epitope mapping studies aim to identify the binding sites of antibody-antigen interactions to enhance the development of vaccines, diagnostics and immunotherapeutic compounds. However, mapping is a laborious process employing time- and resource-consuming M-bM-^@M-^Xwet benchM-bM-^@M-^Y techniques or epitope prediction software that are still in their infancy. For polymorphic antigens, another challenge is characterizing cross-reactivity between epitopes, teasing out distinctions between broadly cross-reactive responses, limited cross-reactions among variants and the truly type-specific responses. A refined understanding of cross-reactive antibody binding could guide the selection of the most informative subsets of variants for diagnostics and multivalent subunit vaccines. We explored the antibody binding reactivity of sera from human patients and Peromyscus leucopus rodents infected with Borrelia burgdorferi to the polymorphic outer surface protein C (OspC), an attractive candidate antigen for vaccine and improved diagnostics for Lyme disease. We constructed a protein microarray displaying 23 natural variants of OspC and quantified the degree of cross-reactive antibody binding between all pairs of variants, using Pearson correlation calculated on the reactivity values using three independent transforms of the raw data: (1) logarithmic, (2) rank, and (3) binary indicators. We observed that the global amino acid sequence identity between OspC pairs was a poor predictor of cross-reactive antibody binding. Then we asked if specific regions of the protein would better explain the observed cross-reactive binding and performed in silico screening of the linear sequence and 3-dimensional structure of OspC. This analysis pointed to the C-terminal helix of the structure as a major determinant of type-specific cross-reactive antibody binding. We developed bioinformatics methods to systematically analyze the relationship between local sequence/structure variation and cross-reactive antibody binding patterns among variants of a polymorphic antigen, and this method can be applied to other polymorphic antigens for which immune response data is available for multiple variants. Antibody profiling was performed on sera from Borrelia burgdorferi infected and non-infected humans and Peromyscus leucopus rodents against 23 variants of the surface protein OspC . For infected human serum samples, the OspC type of the infecting B. burgdorferi strain is unknown; for experimentally-infected P. leucopus serum samples, it is known. Of human serum samples, 55 were from infected individuals and 25 from naive controls. Of P. leucopus serum samples, 23 were from infected individuals and 7 were from naive controls.
