Genome wide profiling of H3K9me2 in Arabidopsis thaliana

ABSTRACT: The objective of the study is to profile histone H3 lysine nine di-methylation (H3K9me2) in Arabidopsis thaliana and to correlate it with DNA methylation. We constructed a high-resolution genome-wide map of H3K9me2 methylation by using native chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with HD2 whole genome Nimblegen microarrays. Three replicas were performed for the native ChIP. As a control, one replica of ChIP isolated from crosslinked tissue was used.

Methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) is a hallmark of transcriptional silencing in many organisms. In Arabidopsis thaliana, dimethylation of H3K9 (H3K9m2) is important in the silencing of transposons and in the control of DNA methylation. We constructed a high-resolution genome-wide map of H3K9m2 methylation by using chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with whole genome Roche Nimblegen microarrays (ChIP-chip). We observed a very high coincidence between H3K9m2 and CHG methylation (where H ...[more]

Project description:Checkpoints are cellular surveillance and signaling pathways that regulate responses to DNA damage and perturbations of DNA replication. Here we show that high levels of sumoylated Rad52 are present in the mec1 sml1 and rad53 sml1 checkpoint mutants exposed to DNA damaging agents such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) or the DNA replication inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU). The kinase-defective mutant rad53-K227A also showed high levels of Rad52 sumoylation. Elevated levels of Rad52 sumoylation occur in checkpoint mutants proceeding S phase being exposed DNA-damaging agent. Interestingly, ChIP on chip analyses revealed non-canonical chromosomal localization of Rad52 in the HU-treated rad53-K227A cells arrested in early S phase: Rad52 localization at dormant and early DNA replication origins. However, such unusual localization was not dependent on the sumoylation of Rad52. In addition, we also found that Rad52 could be highly sumoylated in the absence of Rad51. Double deletion of RAD51 and RAD53 exhibited the similar levels of Rad52 sumoylation to RAD51 single deletion. The significance and regulation mechanism of Rad52 sumoylation by checkpoint pathways will be discussed. Keywords: ChIP-chip â¢ The goal of the experiment Genome-wide localization of Rad52 binding sites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae â¢ Experimental factor Distribution of Rad52 on chromosome III, IV, and V and the right arm of chromosome VI Strain: wild type, rad53 mutant, and rad53 siz2 mutant (W303 background, expressing myc tagged protein from its native promoter) Cell condition 1: G1 arrest with alpha-factor Cell condition 2: HU treatment â¢ Experimental design ChIP analyses: ChIP using anti-c-Myc antibody. ChIP-chip analyses: In all cases, hybridization data of ChIP fraction was compared with WCE (whole cell extract) fraction. Saccharomyces cerevisiae affymetrix genome tiling array (SC3456a520015F) were used. â¢ Quality control steps taken Confirmation of several loci by quantitative real time PCR. Wild type cells expressing non-tagged Rad52 were used as a negative control of DNA amplification.
