Project description:This experiment measured the mono-methylation of lysine 37 of histone H3 in yeast cells at various phases of the cell cycle (G1, G1/S and S).
Project description:By analysis of ChIP-exo of FOXA1 in LNCaP, we find that an astonishing genome-wide "well-positioned" configuration prevalently occurs between FOXA1 motif and the dyad of nucleosome. Here we performed ChIP-seq data of eight chromatin remodelers and found a higher occupancy of these remodelers on these well-positioned FOXA1 motif sites. Together, our results support a positional-nucleosome-oriented accessing model, in which FOXA1 can examine each underlying DNA nucleotide and be able to sense all potential motifs regardless if they face inward or outward to histone octamers along the DNA helix axis. We have performed ChIP-seq of eight chromatin remodeler factors.
Project description:It has been reported that PHF1, CUL4B and PRMT5 all play important roles in epigenetic regulation. We reported that PHF1, CRL4B and PRMT5 may act as a complex in transcriptional regulation and have a vital effect in breast cancer progression. So we performed ChIP-on-chip assays to find unique promoters co-targeted by PHF1, CUL4B and PRMT5. PHF1, CUL4B and PRMT5 have a predominant cooperation, at least in MDA-MB-231 cells. comparison of PHF1, CUL4B and PRMT5 target genes
Project description:Ribosome assembly in eukaryotes involves the activity of hundreds of assembly factors that direct the hierarchical assembly of ribosomal proteins and numerous ribosomal RNA folding steps. However, detailed insights into the function of assembly factors and ribosomal RNA folding events are lacking. To address this, we have developed ChemModSeq, a method that combines structure probing, high throughput sequencing and statistical modeling, to quantitatively measure RNA structural rearrangements during the assembly of macromolecular complexes. By applying ChemModSeq to purified 40S assembly intermediates we obtained nucleotide-resolution maps of ribosomal RNA flexibility revealing structurally distinct assembly intermediates and mechanistic insights into assembly dynamics not readily observed in cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions. We show that RNA restructuring events coincide with the release of assembly factors and predict that completion of the head domain is required before the Rio1 kinase enters the assembly pathway. Collectively, our results suggest that 40S assembly factors regulate the timely incorporation of ribosomal proteins by delaying specific folding steps in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y major domain of the 20S pre-ribosomal RNA. Three datasets of yeast ribosomal samples subjected to different chemical modifications; 1M7 dataset contains 8 different modified samples and 2 control samples; NAI dataset contains 3 different modified samples and 2 control samples; DMS dataset contains 1 modified sample and 1 control sample. Each sample consists of at least two replicates.
Project description:T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an immature hematopoietic malignancy driven mainly by oncogenic activation of NOTCH1 signaling. In this study we used a mouse model of T-ALL through the overexpression of the intarcellular transcriptionally active part of Notch1 (N1-IC). This model faithfully recapitulates the major characteristics of the human disease. Comparison of the leukemic cells from peripheral tumors(thymoma) of this mouse model to normal thymic cells Double Positive (DP) for the markers CD4 and CD8 that express very low levels of Notch1 showed major expression changes (please see GSE34554) in pathways controlling the transition from physiology to disease. Further correlation of the data to ChIP-Seq data from the same cell populations led us to identify a hitherto unknown antagonism of the Notch1 oncogenic pathway and the polycomb complex (PRC2) in leukemia. Importantly exome sequencing in primary samples from human patients with T-ALL revealed that the PRC2 complex is frequently mutated and inactivated, further supporting the tumor suppressor role of the complex in this disease. Gene expression profiles from CD4+/8+ Double Positive (named DP) derived from normal thymus and Notch1-IC over-expressing tumors (named T-ALL) were analyzed for the genomewide enrichments of two major activating epigenetic marks (Histone 3 Lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) and lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3)), one reprressive mark (Histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation, H3K27me3) and the major oncogene Notch1.
Project description:HNF1A and UTX are putative tumor suppressors in pancreatic cancer. In this study, we have combined mouse genetics, transcriptomics and genome binding studies to link HNF1A and UTX in a molecular mechanism that suppresses pancreatic cancer. In this session, we have profiled UTX, HNF1A, H3K27me3 and H3K27ac in normal and UTX- or HNF1A-deficient mouse pancreas by ChIP-seq experiments. We show that HNF1A recruits UTX to its genomic targets in pancreatic acinar cells, which results in remodeling of the chromatin landscape and activation of a broad transcriptional program of differentiated acinar cells, which in turn indirectly suppresses tumor suppressor pathways.

Project description:O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (AAR) is a small metabolic molecule that is generated during NAD-dependent deacetylation by Sir2. Sir2 regulates gene expression, DNA repair, and genome stability. chromatin affinity-precipitation (ChAP) method was used to detect the chromatin fragments at which small molecules interact with binding partners. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Sir3 and of Sir2, respectively, applied with tilling array chip (ChIP on chip of Sir3 and of Sir2, respectively) and Chromatin affinity-precipitation of AAR applied with tilling array chip (ChAP on chip of AAR ) analysis demonstrated that an extended spreading of Sir3 and of AAR, but not Sir2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ysa1 deleted cells compared with those in wild type cells Comparison the distributions of Sir3, of Sir2 and of AAR on silent heterochromatin of Ysa1 deletion cells vs those of wild type cells
