Identification by ChIP-Seq of the binding sites of the developmental protein WhiH in the genome of Streptomyces venezuelae

ABSTRACT: The whiH gene is required for the differentiation of aerial hyphae into spores in Streptomyces species. It is a predicted member of the GntR family of transcription factors and has been shown to bind specifically to a sequence in its own promoter. This ChIP-Seq experiment was carried out to determine all the binding sites whiH binds to in the genome of Streptomyces venezuelae. A whiH deletion strain was made and a FLAG tagged whiH protein was expressed in it from a genome-integrated plasmid. Then anti-FLAG antibodies were used for chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high throughput sequencing. The wild type Streptomyces venezuelae strain (ATCC 10712) was used as a negative control. For both the FLAG-WhiH strain and the WT strain, non-immunoprecipitated (total) DNA was also sequenced
