DNA accessibility profile of three C. elegans tissues during development

ABSTRACT: We show there is minimal genome-wide chromatin rearrangements (as measured by DNA accessibility) during tissue differentiation in C. elegans transgenic expression of E. coli DAM (DNA Adenine Methyltransferase) from tissue-specific promoters followed by mapping of methylated sites using a procedure that captures 20bp sequences flanking methylated sites for Illumina sequencing PD3994 = transgenic line expressing DAM from myo-3 promoter PD3995 = transgenic line expressing DAM from rol-6 promoter PD3997 = transgenic line expressing DAM from vit-2 promoter N2dam = wildtype (N2) line; its genomic DNA was in vitro DAM-methylated parsed = Solexa reads in which linker sequences were successfully parsed out by the authors WS170DAMtags_ALL.txt = the set of all in_silico-generated DAM tags from C. elegans genome version WS170

<h4>Background</h4>Tissue differentiation is accompanied by genome-wide changes in the underlying chromatin structure and dynamics, or epigenome. By controlling when, where, and what regulatory factors have access to the underlying genomic DNA, the epigenome influences the cell's transcriptome and ultimately its function. Existing genomic methods for analyzing cell-type-specific changes in chromatin generally involve two elements: (i) a source for purified cells (or nuclei) of distinct types, an ...[more]

Project description:The local protein composition of chromatin is important for the regulation of transcription and other functions. By integrative analysis of genome-wide binding maps of 53 broadly selected chromatin components in Drosophila cells, we show that the genome is segmented into five principal chromatin types that are defined by unique, yet overlapping combinations of proteins, and form domains that can extend over >100 kb. We identify a novel repressive chromatin type that covers about half of the genome and lacks classic heterochromatin markers. Furthermore, transcriptionally active euchromatin consists of two distinct types that differ in molecular organization and H3K36 methylation, and regulate distinct classes of genes. Finally, we provide evidence that the different chromatin types act as guides that help to target DNA-binding factors to specific subsets of their recognition motifs. These results uncover basic principles of chromatin organization in a higher eukaryote. For this study, we generated whole-genome DamID binding profiles of 45 chromatin proteins in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Additionally, we perused published binding data of 8 chromatin proteins and generated a binding profile of one exogenous (yeast) DNA binding factor in Kc167 cells. On the same array platform, we obtained ChIP-on-chip profiles of histone H3, H1, H3K9me2, H3K27me3, H3K4me2, and H3K79me3. See supplementary files below. Gene expression was measured by RNA tag profiling. See GeneCounts supplementary file below. [1] RNA tag sequences were optained on an Illumina GAII with the digital gene expression (DGE) module from duplicate RNA samples. [2] All DamID and ChIP experiments were done in Drosophila Kc167 cells in duplicate. Samples were hybridized to 380k NimbleGen arrays with 300 bp probe spacing. Every experiment was done in duplicate in the reverse dye orientation, where Dam-fusion material was hybridized over Dam-only material. For ChIP, immunoprecipitated material was hybridized over ChIP input material. 18 previously-submitted Samples were included in this study. 10 of 18 Samples have been renormalized for the GSE22069 study: GSM509087, GSM509088, GSM509089, GSM509090, GSM509091, GSM509092, GSM509093, GSM509094, GSM509095, GSM509096 New GSM accession numbers have been issued for these 10 samples. 8 of 18 Samples are identical in the original studies and in GSE22069: GSM423290, GSM423291, GSM423298, GSM423299, GSM493592, GSM493593, GSM509085, GSM509086 [3] The genomic locations in files GSE22069_norm_aggregated_discretized_tiling_arrays.txt and GSE22069_norm_aggregated_tiling_arrays.txt are relative to FlyBase release 5 (BDGP R5/dm3).
