Chromatin immunoprecipitation of human and chimp cell lines GM06990, HFL1, HeLaS3, MOLT4 and PTR8 with anti Histone H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3ac and H4ac antibodies using an ENCODE array

ABSTRACT: ENCODE ChIP/chip study using human lymphoblastoid cell line GM06990; human cervix carcinoma cell line HeLaS3; human fetal lung fibroblast cell line HFL1; human T cell line MOLT4; chimpanzee lymphoblastoid cell line PTR8; and anti Histone H3K4me1 (Abcam; ab8895); H3K4me2 (Abcam; ab7766); H3K4me3 (Abcam; ab8580); H3ac (Upstate; 06-599) and H4ac (Upstate; 06-866) antibodies. The experiment was conducted in three biological replicates (1;2;3) with up to two technical duplicates (a;b).

Project description:Whole genome profiling of 4 histone modifications (H3K27me1, H3K27me3,H3K36me1 and H3K36me3) using ChIP-on-chip. It has recently been shown that nucleosome distribution, histone modifications and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) occupancy show preferential association with exons ("exon-intron marking"), linking chromatin structure and function to co- transcriptional splicing in a variety of eukaryotes. Previous ChIP-sequencing studies suggested that these marking patterns reflect the nucleosomal landscape. By analyzing ChIP-chip datasets across the human genome in three cell types, we have found that this marking system is far more complex than previously observed. We show here that a range of histone modifications and Pol II are preferentially associated with exons. However, there is noticeable cell-type specificity in the degree of exon marking by histone modifications and, surprisingly, this is also reflected in some histone modifications patterns showing biases towards introns. Exon-intron marking is laid down in the absence of transcription on silent genes, with some marking biases changing or becoming reversed for genes expressed at different levels. Furthermore, the relationship of this marking system with splicing is not simple, with only some histone modifications reflecting exon usage/inclusion, while others mirror patterns of exon exclusion. By examining nucleosomal distributions in all three cell types, we demonstrate that these histone modification patterns cannot solely be accounted for by differences in nucleosome levels between exons and introns. In addition, because of inherent differences between ChIP-chip array and ChIP-sequencing approaches, these platforms report different nucleosome distribution patterns across the human genome. Our findings confound existing views and point to active cellular mechanisms which dynamically regulate histone modification levels and account for exon-intron marking. We believe that these histone modification patterns provide links between chromatin accessibility, Pol II movement and co-transcriptional splicing.
