The sequence specificity of DNA-binding proteins is the primary mechanism by which the cell recognizes genomic features. H...

For the DIP-chip experiments [GSM345371, GSM345403, GSM345414-GSM345421, GSM345429-GSM345432], genomic DNA isolated from S288C yeast was incubated with 40nM of the MBP-tagged DNA binding domain (DBD) of either Cbf1, Pho2, Pho4, Leu3, Rap1, or Swi5 and incubated for 30 minutes prior to purification of protein-DNA complexes. The bound DNA was then isolated, amplified via Invitrogen's WGA protocol, and hybridized against input DNA on NimbleGen 385k 32bp-tiling whole genome arrays. ChIPOTle was used to identify peaks of binding from the data and motifs were identified by BioProspector and MDScan and then scored for their ability to predict the identified peaks by GOMER. Motifs with the best ROC AUC are reported in the paper. For the ChIP-chip experiments [GSM346493 and GSM346494], isogenic wildtype and rsc3-1 strains carrying Rsc8-TAP were grown in parallel under rsc3-1 restrictive growth conditions (37°C). Following formaldehyde crosslinking, cells were homogenized and extracts were sonicated to shear the chromatin to an average size of ~500 bp. A single pulldown was then performed with IgG sepharose beads and after decrosslinking and LM-PCR amplification of purified IP DNA, samples were labeled and hybridized on Nimblegen 32bp whole genome tiling arrays, comparing the pulled-down DNA to input genomic DNA.
