Statistical prediction of overrepresented words in Ter region. Identification of bound protein through EMSA. Purification and validation of binding to specific site with EMSA. Then ChIP-chip performed genome wide and correlated with identfied sites.
ChIP assay conditions
MatP: E. coli K12 strains are all derivatives of MG1655. Standard growth, transformation, and transduction procedures used were as previously described (Valens et al., 2004). The strains were grown in liquid Lennox medium at 30°C or 37°C, liquid minimal medium A supplemented with 0.1% casamino acids and 0.4% glucose at 30°C.
ChIP notes
ChIP assays were performed as described (Danilova et al., 2007) with an affinity purified polyclonal antibody against MatP. Hybridization of Panorama gene arrays was performed with α32P-dCTP-labeled probes generated by random priming of 50 ng of immunoprecipitated or total E. coli DNA.
Regulated genes for each binding site are displayed below. Gene regulation diagrams
show binding sites, positively-regulated genes,
negatively-regulated genes,
both positively and negatively regulated
genes, genes with unspecified type of regulation.
For each indvidual site, experimental techniques used to determine the site are also given.
The principle of ChIP-chip is simple. The first step is to cross-link the protein-DNA complex. This is done using a fixating agent, such as formaldehyde. The cross-linking can later be reversed with heat. Cross-linking kills the cell, giving a snapshot of the bound TF at a given time. The cell is then lysed, the DNA sheared by sonication and the chromatin[2] (TF-DNA complexes) is pulled down using an antibody (i.e. immunoprecipitated). If an antibody for the TF is available, then it is used; otherwise, the TF is tagged with an epitope targeted by commercially available antibodies (the latter option is cheaper, but runs the risk of altering the TF's functionality). Cross-linking is then reversed to free the bound DNA, which is then amplified, labeled with a fluorophore and dumped onto a DNA-array. The scanned array reveals the genomic regions bound by the TF. The resolution is around ~500 bp as a result of the sonication step.
