Project description:To investigate how dSETDB1 regulated the genome-wide distribution of HP1 proteins, we performed ChIP-chip assay on the third instar larval lysate from the dSETDB1null mutants in comparison to the wild type. Third instar larvae from the wild type and dSETDB1null mutants were collected. Three independent biological replicates of ChIP with anti-HP1 were performed.

Project description:In vivo crosslinking studies suggest that the Drosophila transcription factor Bicoid (Bcd) binds to several thousand sites during early embryogenesis, but it is not clear how many of these binding events are functionally important. In contrast, reporter gene studies have identified more than 60 Bcd-dependent enhancers, all of which contain clusters of the consensus binding sequence TAATCC. These studies also identified clusters of TAATCC motifs (inactive fragments) that failed to drive Bcd-dependent activation. In general, active fragments showed higher levels of Bcd-binding in vivo, and were enriched in predicted binding sites for the ubiquitous maternal protein Zelda (Zld). Here we test the role of Zld in Bcd-mediated binding and transcription. Removal of Zld function and mutations in Zld sites caused significant reductions in Bcd-binding to known enhancers, and variable effects on the activation and spatial positioning of Bcd-dependent expression patterns. Genome-wide binding experiments in Zld mutants showed variable effects on Bcd-binding peaks, ranging from strong reductions to significantly enhanced levels of binding. Increases in Bcd binding caused the precocious Bcd-dependent activation of genes that are normally not expressed in early embryos, suggesting that Zld controls the genome-wide binding profile of Bcd at the qualitative level, and is critical for selecting target genes for activation in the early embryo. These results underscore the importance of combinatorial binding in enhancer function, and provide data that will help predict regulatory activities based on DNA sequence. 1-3 hour wild type and zelda mutant embryos were examined for Bicoid binding using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The Bcd antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antiserum raised against full length Drosophila Bcd protein (Ochoa-Espinosa et al. 2009 PNAS). The antiserum was further purified using the Protein A Antibody Purification Kit (Sigma) for ChIP-seq.

Project description:Eukaryotic topoisomerase I and II relax DNA and are key components in the processes of DNA replication, transcription and genome stability. It is not clear, however, how their activity controls epigenetic states across an entire eukaryotic genome. Using the fission yeast model Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we investigate genome-wide how topoisomerases affect chromatin formation through nucleosome occupancy and regulate transcription. We show that topoisomerase activity is required for nucleosome turnover at promoter regions, affecting epigenetic gene regulatory states, and for effective termination of transcription.

Project description:The H4K16 acetyltransferase MOF plays a crucial role in dosage compensation in Drosophila, but has additional, global functions. We compared the molecular context and effect of MOF in male and female flies combining chromosome-wide mapping and transcriptome studies with analyses of defined reporter loci in transgenic flies. MOF distributes dynamically between two complexes, the Dosage Compensation Complex and a complex containing MBD-R2, a global facilitator of transcription. These different targeting principles define the distribution of MOF between the X chromosome and autosomes and at transcription units with 5’ or 3’ enrichment. The male X chromosome differs from all other chromosomes in that H4K16 acetylation levels do not correlate with transcription output. The reconstitution of this phenomenon at a model locus revealed that the activation potential of MOF is constraint in male cells in the context of the DCC to arrive at the two-fold activation of transcription characteristic of dosage compensation. ChIP-chip profiling of MBD-R2, MOF and MSL1 in adult male and female flies, and SL2 cells, incl. at least 3 biological replicates

Project description:modENCODE_submission_4961 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Kevin White. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: The White Lab is aiming to map the association of all the Transcription Factors (TF) on the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. One technique that we use for this purpose is chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) utilizing an Illumina next generation sequencing platform. The data generated by ChIP-seq experiments consist basically of a plot of signal intensity across the genome. The highest signals correspond to positions in the genome occupied by the tested TF.
