Experimental Process
Researchers used CHiP-seq to discover OmpR binding sites; binding sequences were determined from enriched sequences using the motif finding algorithm YMF. Regulation was assayed in a previous paper (19609351) with both a microarray and RNA-seq.
ChIP assay conditions
Normal cell conditions; ompR binding was not induced.
ChIP notes
Salmonella Typhi ompR::3×FLAG (strain TT53) and S. Typhi BRD948 were cultured in LB broth to OD600 = 0.6, lysed, incubated with 1% formaldehyde at 37°C for 20 min to cross-link DNA with protein then quenched with glycine (ph7) to a final concentration of 0.5 M. Cells were harvested and washed twice in TBS and lysed by osmotic shock. Genomic DNA was then sheered by sonication to an average size of 300 bp and immunoprecipitated using anti-3×FLAG monoclonal antibody (Sigma, F3165) as previously described (Pfeiffer et al., 2007) using the Protein G Immunoprecipitation kit (Sigma). Eluates were then treated with pronase (0.8 mg ml−1, Sigma) at 65°C overnight. The nucleotide sequence of genomic DNA fragments was determined by Illumina GAII paired-end sequencing with read length 36 bp and mapped to the S. Typhi Ty2 whole genome sequence (AE014613). Sequence data were mapped to the S. Typhi Ty2 genome using the same parameters as previously described (Perkins et al., 2009), without assigning the sequence reads to each strand. Plots were z-score-normalized, in order to indicate the number of standard deviations above or below the mean for each datum point, and the differences between the untagged S. Typhi Ty2 and ompR::3×FLAG-tagged associated DNA sequences determined. Plots were then read into the genome browser tool Artemis (Rutherford et al., 2000). The Peakfinder function was used to determine enrichment for OmpR::3×FLAG bound DNA sequences. The Peakfinder function (36 bp window and z-score cut-off score set to 3) identified 58 peaks. Due to the background noise of the mapped sequence data plots and low stringency of the Peakfinder conditions, identified peaks were then filtered manually. Sites of DNA enrichment present within a predicted or known CDS were ignored unless there were multiple similar sites nearby, reducing the total number of analysed peaks to 43. Enriched sequences were then input to the motif finding algorithm YMF with the length of motif set to eight nu
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.
ChIP-Seq is equivalent to ChIP-chip down to the last step. In ChIP-Seq, immunoprecipiated DNA fragments are prepared for sequencing and funneled into a massively parallel sequencer that produces short reads. Even though the sonication step is the same as in ChIP-chip, ChIP-Seq will generate multiple short-reads within any given 500 bp region, thereby pinning down the location of TFBS to within 50-100 bp. A similar result can be obtained with ChIP-chip using high-density tiling-arrays. The downside of ChIP-Seq is that sensitivity is proportional to cost, as sensitivity increases with the number of (expensive) parallel sequencing runs. To control for biases, ChIP-seq experiments often use the "input" as a control. This is DNA sequence resulting from the same pipeline as the ChIP-seq experiment, but omitting the immunoprecipitation step. It therefore should have the same accessibility and sequencing biases as the experiment data.
In motif discovery, we are given a set of sequences that we suspect harbor binding sites for a given transcription factor. A typical scenario is data coming from expression experiments, in which we wish to analyze the promoter region of a bunch of genes that are up- or down-regulated under some condition. The goal of motif discovery is to detect the transcription factor binding motif (i.e. the sequence “pattern” bound by the TF), by assuming that it will be overrepresented in our sample of sequences. There are different strategies to accomplish this, but the standard approach uses expectation maximization (EM) and in particular Gibbs sampling or greedy search. Popular algorithms for motif discovery are MEME, Gibbs Motif Sampler or CONSENSUS. More recently, motif discovery algorithms that make use of phylogenetic foot-printing (the idea that TF-binding site will be conserved in the promoter sequences for the same gene in different species) have become available. These are not usually applied to complement experimental work, but can be used to provide a starting point for it. Popular algorithms include FootPrinter and PhyloGibbs.

Even though the sonication step is the same as in ChIP-chip, ChIP-Seq will generate multiple short-reads within any given 500 bp region, thereby pinning down the location of TFBS to within 50-100 bp. A similar result can be obtained with ChIP-chip using high-density tiling-arrays. The downside of ChIP-Seq is that sensitivity is proportional to cost, as sensitivity increases with the number of (expensive) parallel sequencing runs. To control for biases, ChIP-seq experiments often use the "input" as a control. This is DNA sequence resulting from the same pipeline as the ChIP-seq experiment, but omitting the immunoprecipitation step. It therefore should have the same accessibility and sequencing biases as the experiment data.
In motif discovery, we are given a set of sequences that we suspect harbor binding sites for a given transcription factor. A typical scenario is data coming from expression experiments, in which we wish to analyze the promoter region of a bunch of genes that are up- or down-regulated under some condition. The goal of motif discovery is to detect the transcription factor binding motif (i.e. the sequence “pattern” bound by the TF), by assuming that it will be overrepresented in our sample of sequences. There are different strategies to accomplish this, but the standard approach uses expectation maximization (EM) and in particular Gibbs sampling or greedy search. Popular algorithms for motif discovery are MEME, Gibbs Motif Sampler or CONSENSUS. More recently, motif discovery algorithms that make use of phylogenetic foot-printing (the idea that TF-binding site will be conserved in the promoter sequences for the same gene in different species) have become available. These are not usually applied to complement experimental work, but can be used to provide a starting point for it. Popular algorithms include FootPrinter and PhyloGibbs.
ChIP-Seq is equivalent to ChIP-chip down to the last step. In ChIP-Seq, immunoprecipiated DNA fragments are prepared for sequencing and funneled into a massively parallel sequencer that produces short reads.
