In eukaryotic cells, transcription of every protein-coding gene begins with the assembly of an RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex (PIC) on the promoter. The promoters, in conjunction with enhancers, silencers and insulators, define the combinatorial codes that specify gene expression patterns. Our ability to analyse the control logic encoded in the human genome is currently limited by a lack of accurate information regarding the promoters for most genes. Here we describe a genome-wide map o ...[more]

Project description:Our ability to understand the control logic embedded in the human genome is limited by a lack of accurate information of the promoter sequences for most genes. Promoters are a unique class of control sequences, serving as the binding sites for both sequence-specific factors and the general transcription machinery during transcription initiation. In order to obtain a comprehensive map of promoters in the human genome, we have determined the location of the RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex throughout the non-repeat sequences of the human genome in primary fibroblast cells. The resulting map defines 10,571 active promoters corresponding to 6,763 known genes and at least 1,199 un-annotated transcriptional units. The map indicates extensive usage of multiple promoters by the human genes and widespread clustering of active promoters in the genome. Further examination of the genome-wide expression profile reveals four general classes of promoters that define the transcriptome of the cell. Our results provide a global view of the functional relationship among the transcriptional machinery, chromatin structure, and gene expression in human cells.

Project description:The readout of genome information is controlled by transcriptional regulatory elements, but a comprehensive view of the combinatorial control by these DNA sequences, which bind regulatory protein and/or the modified histones in regulating gene transcription, is clearly preliminary. We have developed an experimental strategy for comprehensive determination of such functional elements in human DNA. This strategy involves the application of genome-wide location analysis, also known as ChIP-chip, to a panel of well-characterized regulatory proteins and histones with specific modifications, known to generally associate with transcriptional regulatory elements in vivo. Identification of their genomic binding sites will allow us to determine the sequence features in the human genome that carry out transcriptional regulatory function. We have designed and produced DNA microarrays to represent all the non-repetitive sequences in the 30 million basepair ENCODE regions of the human genome to map various types of transcriptional regulatory elements in three model cell types. We have identified promoters by mapping the genomic sequences associated with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factor TFIID in cells, enhancer elements by mapping the genomic sequences associated with transcriptional co-activators and enhancer-specific chromatin modifications, and insulators by mapping the genomic sequences associated with the insulator binding protein CTCF. The raw microarray results are released periodically prior to publication. Keywords: ChIP-chip ENCODE ChIP-chip analyses were performed for various transcription factors and chromatin modifications in various cell types. Details to be described in publications.

Project description:Divergent transcription, in which reverse-oriented transcripts occur upstream of eukaryotic promoters in regions devoid of annotated genes, has been suggested to be a general property of active promoters. Here we show that the human basal RNA polymerase II transcriptional machinery and core promoter are inherently unidirectional, and that reverse-oriented transcripts originate from their own cognate reverse-directed core promoters. In vitro transcription analysis and mapping of nascent transcripts in cells revealed that core promoters are unidirectional and that sequences at reverse start sites are similar to those of their forward counterparts. The use of DNase I accessibility to define proximal promoter borders revealed that about half of promoters are unidirectional and that these unidirectional promoters are depleted at their upstream edges of reverse core promoter sequences and their associated chromatin features. Divergent transcription is thus not an inherent property of the transcription process, but rather the consequence of the presence of both forward- and reverse-directed core promoters.

Project description:The functions of the majority of trypanosomatid-specific proteins are unknown, hindering our understanding of the biology and pathogenesis of Trypanosomatida. While protein-protein interactions are highly informative about protein function, a global map of protein interactions and complexes is still lacking for these important human parasites. Here, benefiting from in-depth biochemical fractionation, we systematically examined the protein complexes of more than 3354 protein groups in procyclic life stage of Trypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite responsible for human African trypanosomiasis. Using a rigorous methodology, our analysis led to identification of 128 high-confidence complexes encompassing 716 protein groups, including 635 protein groups that had no available experimental annotation. These complexes correlate well with known pathways as well as for proteins co-expressed across the T. brucei life cycle, and provide potential functions for a large number of previously uncharacterized proteins. We validated the functions of several novel proteins associated with the RNA-editing machinery, identifying candidates potentially involved in the life stage specific post-transcriptional regulation in T. brucei. Our data provide an unprecedented view of the protein complex map of T. brucei, and serve as a reliable resource for further characterization of trypanosomatid proteins.
