High-Resolution Chromatin Profiling Using CUT&RUN.

ABSTRACT: Determining the genomic location of DNA-binding proteins is essential to understanding their function. Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) is a powerful method for mapping protein-DNA interactions at high resolution. In CUT&RUN, a recombinant protein A-microccocal nuclease (pA-MN) fusion is recruited by an antibody targeting the chromatin protein of interest; this can be done with either uncrosslinked or formaldehyde-crosslinked cells. DNA fragments near sites of antibody binding are released from the insoluble bulk chromatin through endonucleolytic cleavage and used to build barcoded DNA-sequencing libraries that can be sequenced in pools of at least 30. Therefore, CUT&RUN provides an alternative to ChIP-seq approaches for mapping chromatin proteins, which typically have relatively high signal-to-noise ratios, while using fewer cells and at a lower cost. Here, we describe the methods for performing CUT&RUN, generating DNA-sequencing libraries, and analyzing the resulting datasets. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Improved CUT&RUN chromatin profiling tools.

Project description:Previously, we described a novel alternative to chromatin immunoprecipitation, CUT&RUN, in which unfixed permeabilized cells are incubated with antibody, followed by binding of a protein A-Micrococcal Nuclease (pA/MNase) fusion protein (Skene and Henikoff, 2017). Here we introduce three enhancements to CUT&RUN: A hybrid protein A-Protein G-MNase construct that expands antibody compatibility and simplifies purification, a modified digestion protocol that inhibits premature release of the nuclease-bound complex, and a calibration strategy based on carry-over of E. coli DNA introduced with the fusion protein. These new features, coupled with the previously described low-cost, high efficiency, high reproducibility and high-throughput capability of CUT&RUN make it the method of choice for routine epigenomic profiling.

Peak calling by Sparse Enrichment Analysis for CUT&RUN chromatin profiling.

Project description:BackgroundCUT&RUN is an efficient epigenome profiling method that identifies sites of DNA binding protein enrichment genome-wide with high signal to noise and low sequencing requirements. Currently, the analysis of CUT&RUN data is complicated by its exceptionally low background, which renders programs designed for analysis of ChIP-seq data vulnerable to oversensitivity in identifying sites of protein binding.ResultsHere we introduce Sparse Enrichment Analysis for CUT&RUN (SEACR), an analysis strategy that uses the global distribution of background signal to calibrate a simple threshold for peak calling. SEACR discriminates between true and false-positive peaks with near-perfect specificity from "gold standard" CUT&RUN datasets and efficiently identifies enriched regions for several different protein targets. We also introduce a web server ( http://seacr.fredhutch.org ) for plug-and-play analysis with SEACR that facilitates maximum accessibility across users of all skill levels.ConclusionsSEACR is a highly selective peak caller that definitively validates the accuracy of CUT&RUN for datasets with known true negatives. Its ease of use and performance in comparison with existing peak calling strategies make it an ideal choice for analyzing CUT&RUN data.

Genome-wide profiling of histone modifications in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> using CUT&RUN.

Project description:We recently adapted a CUT&RUN protocol for genome-wide profiling of chromatin modifications in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium Using the step-by-step protocol described below, we were able to generate high-quality profiles of multiple histone modifications using only a small fraction of the cells required for ChIP-seq. Using antibodies against two commonly profiled histone modifications, H3K4me3 and H3K9me3, we show here that CUT&RUN profiling is highly reproducible and closely recapitulates previously published ChIP-seq-based abundance profiles of histone marks. Finally, we show that CUT&RUN requires substantially lower sequencing coverage for accurate profiling compared with ChIP-seq.

NicE-seq: high resolution open chromatin profiling.

Project description:Open chromatin profiling integrates information across diverse regulatory elements to reveal the transcriptionally active genome. Tn5 transposase and DNase I sequencing-based methods prefer native or high cell numbers. Here, we describe NicE-seq (nicking enzyme assisted sequencing) for high-resolution open chromatin profiling on both native and formaldehyde-fixed cells. NicE-seq captures and reveals open chromatin sites (OCSs) and transcription factor occupancy at single nucleotide resolution, coincident with DNase hypersensitive and ATAC-seq sites at a low sequencing burden. OCSs correlate with RNA polymerase II occupancy and active chromatin marks, while displaying a contrasting pattern to CpG methylation. Decitabine-mediated hypomethylation of HCT116 displays higher numbers of OCSs.

Efficient chromatin profiling of H3K4me3 modification in cotton using CUT&Tag.

Project description:BackgroundIn 2019, Kaya-Okur et al. reported on the cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) technology for efficient profiling of epigenetically modified DNA fragments. It was used mainly for cultured cell lines and was especially effective for small samples and single cells. This strategy generated high-resolution and low-background-noise chromatin profiling data for epigenomic analysis. CUT&Tag is well suited to be used in plant cells, especially in tissues from which small samples are taken, such as ovules, anthers, and fibers.ResultsHere, we present a CUT&Tag protocol step by step using plant nuclei. In this protocol, we quantified the nuclei that can be used in each CUT&Tag reaction, and compared the efficiency of CUT&Tag with chromatin immunoprecipitation with sequencing (ChIP-seq) in the leaves of cotton. A general workflow for the bioinformatic analysis of CUT&Tag is also provided. Results indicated that, compared with ChIP-seq, the CUT&Tag procedure was faster and showed a higher-resolution, lower-background signal than did ChIP.ConclusionA CUT&Tag protocol has been refined for plant cells using intact nuclei that have been isolated.

High-throughput chromatin accessibility profiling at single-cell resolution.

Project description:Here we develop a high-throughput single-cell ATAC-seq (assay for transposition of accessible chromatin) method to measure physical access to DNA in whole cells. Our approach integrates fluorescence imaging and addressable reagent deposition across a massively parallel (5184) nano-well array, yielding a nearly 20-fold improvement in throughput (up to ~1800 cells/chip, 4-5?h on-chip processing time) and library preparation cost (~81¢ per cell) compared to prior microfluidic implementations. We apply this method to measure regulatory variation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and show robust, de novo clustering of single cells by hematopoietic cell type.

Low-input chromatin profiling in Arabidopsis endosperm using CUT&RUN

Project description:Endosperm is an essential seed tissue with a unique epigenetic landscape. During endosperm development, differential epigenetic regulation of the maternal and paternal genomes plays important roles in regulating gene expression, especially at imprinted genes. Profiling the endosperm epigenetic landscape on a genome-wide scale is challenging due to its small size, mode of development, and close association with maternal tissue. Here, we applied a low input chromatin profiling method, CUT&RUN (cleavage under targets and release using nuclease), to profile parental-specific chromatin modifications using low numbers of Arabidopsis endosperm nuclei. We demonstrate that CUT&RUN generates genome-wide H3K27me3 landscapes with high sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility using around 20,000 endosperm nuclei purified by flow cytometry and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. H3K27me3 peaks identified by CUT&RUN and previous ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) approaches were largely overlapping, with some distinctions in heterochromatin. The versatility and simplicity of CUT&RUN makes it a viable alternative to ChIP, which requires greater amounts of starting material, and will enable the study of tissue or even cell-type specific epigenomes in Arabidopsis and other plant species.

Low-cost high-resolution chromatin profiling with CUT&Tag

Project description:We recently introduced CUT&Tag, an epigenomic profiling strategy in which antibodies are bound to chromatin proteins in situ in permeabilized nuclei, and then used to tether the cut-and-paste transposase Tn5. Activation of the transposase simultaneously cleaves DNA and adds DNA sequencing adapters (“tagmentation”) for paired-end DNA sequencing. Here, we introduce a streamlined CUT&Tag protocol that suppresses exposure artifacts to ensure high-fidelity mapping of the antibody-targeted protein and improves signal-to-noise over current chromatin profiling methods. Streamlined CUT&Tag can be performed in a single PCR tube from cells to amplified libraries, providing low-cost high-resolution genome-wide chromatin maps. By simplifying library preparation, CUT&Tag requires less than a day at the bench from live cells to sequencing-ready barcoded libraries. Because of low background levels, barcoded and pooled CUT&Tag libraries can be sequenced for ~$25 per sample, enabling routine genome-wide profiling of chromatin proteins and modifications that requires no special skills or equipment.

Chromatin and transcription factor profiling in rare stem cell populations using CUT&Tag.

Project description:Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are a rare stem cell population that provides myofibers with a remarkable capacity to regenerate after tissue injury. Here, we have adapted the Cleavage Under Target and Tagmentation technology to the mapping of the chromatin landscape and transcription factor binding in 50,000 activated MuSCs isolated from injured mouse hindlimb muscles. We have applied this same approach to human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. This protocol could be adapted to any rare stem cell population. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Robinson et al. (2021).
