Project description:In this experiment we examined higher order chromatin structure during early Drosophila melanogaster development. We performed in situ Hi-C for hand-sorted non-mitotic embryos at nuclear cycle number 12, 13 and 14, and for embryos at 3-4 hours post fertilisation. During this time in development, the zygotic genome is activated and zygotic transcription is taking place for the first time. To assess the impact of transcription on chromatin structure we injected the transcription inhibitors alpha-amanitin or triptolide before zygotic genome activation and performed Hi-C and ChIP-seq for RNA Pol II. Furthermore, we used Hi-C to study genome architecture in embryos lacking the transcription factor Zelda.

Project description:In this experiment, we've examined chromatin conformation of zebrafish embryos at 24 and 48 hours post-fertilization (hpf), as well as 48 hpf fibroblasts. The aim of this study was to characterise the 3D chromatin structure of zebrafish and perform an evolutionary comparison with mammalian genomes (Homo sapiens and Mus musculus) focusing on syntenic regions and zebrafish ohnologs (duplicated genes that were kept in the genome after the third round of whole-genome duplication).

Project description:Transcriptional regulatory elements (TREs), including enhancers and promoters, determine the transcription levels of associated genes. We have recently shown that global run-on and sequencing (GRO-seq) with enrichment for 5'-capped RNAs reveals active TREs with high accuracy. Here, we demonstrate that active TREs can be identified by applying sensitive machine-learning methods to standard GRO-seq data. This approach allows TREs to be assayed together with gene expression levels and other transcriptional features in a single experiment. Our prediction method, called discriminative Regulatory Element detection from GRO-seq (dREG), summarizes GRO-seq read counts at multiple scales and uses support vector regression to identify active TREs. The predicted TREs are more strongly enriched for several marks of transcriptional activation, including eQTL, GWAS-associated SNPs, H3K27ac, and transcription factor binding than those identified by alternative functional assays. Using dREG, we survey TREs in eight human cell types and provide new insights into global patterns of TRE function. We analyzed GRO-seq or PRO-seq data from eight human cell lines. Please note that this study comprises new sample data plus reanalysis of old Sample data submitted by another user. Existing PRO-seq or GRO-seq data was combined as detailed in the GSE66031_readme.txt. See GSM1613181 and GSM1613182 Sample records for data processing information.

Project description:Checkpoints are cellular surveillance and signaling pathways that regulate responses to DNA damage and perturbations of DNA replication. Here we show that high levels of sumoylated Rad52 are present in the mec1 sml1 and rad53 sml1 checkpoint mutants exposed to DNA damaging agents such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) or the DNA replication inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU). The kinase-defective mutant rad53-K227A also showed high levels of Rad52 sumoylation. Elevated levels of Rad52 sumoylation occur in checkpoint mutants proceeding S phase being exposed DNA-damaging agent. Interestingly, ChIP on chip analyses revealed non-canonical chromosomal localization of Rad52 in the HU-treated rad53-K227A cells arrested in early S phase: Rad52 localization at dormant and early DNA replication origins. However, such unusual localization was not dependent on the sumoylation of Rad52. In addition, we also found that Rad52 could be highly sumoylated in the absence of Rad51. Double deletion of RAD51 and RAD53 exhibited the similar levels of Rad52 sumoylation to RAD51 single deletion. The significance and regulation mechanism of Rad52 sumoylation by checkpoint pathways will be discussed.

Project description:ChIP-chip was performed using chromatin isolated from formaldehyde crosslinked, staged embryos, and affinity purified antibodies against 21 transcription factors (including: BCD, HB, KR, KNI, GT, CAD, HKB, TLL, D, FTZ, HRY, PRD, RUN, SLP1, DA, DL, MAD, MED, SHN, SNA, TWI) that belong to 11 DNA binding domain families, specify distinct developmental fates; as well as the general transcription factor TFIIB, and RNA POLII. Affinity purification of the antibodies was performed with E.coli expressed His-tag fusions of the whole protein (designated as 3, e.g. anti-DL 3), the N-terminal portion of the full length protein (designiated as 1, e.g. anti-BCD 1), or the C-terminal portion of the protein (designated as 2, e.g. anti-BCD 2). While for most factors, we only used one antibody in the ChIP-chip study, for some factors, two or more antibodies that recognize non-overlapping parts of each of the proteins were used. The chromatin immunoprecitation and hybridization for each antibody were carried out in duplicates, and in each chromatin immunoprecitation and hybridization series, two mock IP controls and two input DNA controls were also generated. The microarray used in this study is the Affymetrix Drosophila genomic DNA tiling array, which has about 3 million oligo pairs (perfect match-mismatch), covering the whole euchromatic sequences of the fly genome at a resolution of about 35 bp.

Project description:In this experiment, we've examined chromatin conformation of mESCs and 2C-like cells generated from a CAF-1 knockdown. The method to generate the knockdown was described in (). We performed a modified in situ Hi-C protocol from (Rao et al., 2014) and that can be found in detail at (Díaz et al., 2017, under revision). Samples were digested with MboI restriction enzyme having as starting material 100k cells with two biological replicates per sampling point. The aim of the experiment was to analyze the potential chromatin conformational changes that accompany the mESC to 2C-like transition.

Project description:Copy number expansions such as amplifications and duplications contribute to human phenotypic variation, promote molecular diversification during evolution, and drive the initiation and/or progression of various cancers. The mechanisms underlying these copy number changes are still incompletely understood, however. We recently demonstrated that transient, limited re-replication from a single origin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae efficiently induces segmental amplification of the re-replicated region. Structural analyses of such re-replication induced gene amplifications (RRIGA) suggested that RRIGA could provide a new mechanism for generating copy number variation by non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR). Here we elucidate this new mechanism and provide insight into why it is so efficient. We establish that sequence homology is both necessary and sufficient for repetitive elements to participate in RRIGA and show that their recombination occurs by a single-strand annealing (SSA) mechanism. We also find that re-replication forks are prone to breakage, accounting for the widespread DNA damage associated with deregulation of replication proteins. These breaks appear to stimulate NAHR between re-replicated repeat sequences flanking a re-initiating replication origin. Our results support a RRIGA model where the expansion of a re-replication bubble beyond flanking homologous sequences followed by breakage at both forks in trans provides an ideal structural context for SSA–mediated NAHR to form a head-to-tail duplication. Given the remarkable efficiency of RRIGA, we suggest it may be an unappreciated contributor to copy number expansions in both disease and evolution. The arrays in this series are primary comparative genomic hybridizations to determine genomic changes after re-replication. Genomic DNA was purified from reference Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells or survivors of re-replication, differentially labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, and competitively hybridized to a spotted microarray containing ORF and intergenic PCR products. Cy5/Cy3 ratios (or the inverse in the case of dye swapped samples) are normalized so that the average ratio of all elements was 1 (except for arrays measuring re-replication induction where this ratio was set to 2). A small number of the arrays were used to determine the extent and location of re-replication under different conditions. For those, genomic DNA was purified from non-replicating and re-replicating cells and treated as above. Series contains a total of 333 hybridizations. Note that the VALUE field reported for all of the sample tables in this series are the log2 of the normalized Cy5/Cy3 (or Cy3/Cy5) ratio. To convert these into usable copy number profiles raise 2 to the indicated VALUE.
