SsvQC: an integrated CUT&RUN quality control workflow for histone modifications and transcription factors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Among the different methods to profile the genome-wide patterns of transcription factor binding and histone modifications in cells and tissues, CUT&RUN has emerged as a more efficient approach that allows for a higher signal-to-noise ratio using fewer number of cells compared to ChIP-seq. The results from CUT&RUN and other related sequence enrichment assays requires comprehensive quality control (QC) and comparative analysis of data quality across replicates. While several computational tools currently exist for read mapping and analysis, a systematic reporting of data quality is lacking. Our aims were to (1) compare methods for using frozen versus fresh cells for CUT&RUN and (2) to develop an easy-to-use pipeline for assessing data quality.

Results

We compared a workflow for CUT&RUN with fresh and frozen samples, and present an R package called ssvQC for quality control and comparison of data quality derived from CUT&RUN and other enrichment-based sequence data. Using ssvQC, we evaluate results from different CUT&RUN protocols for transcription factors and histone modifications from fresh and frozen tissue samples. Overall, this process facilitates evaluation of data quality across datasets and permits inspection of peak calling analysis, replicate analysis of different data types. The package ssvQC is readily available at https://github.com/FrietzeLabUVM/ssvQC .

Single-cell CUT&Tag profiles histone modifications and transcription factors in complex tissues.

Project description:In contrast to single-cell approaches for measuring gene expression and DNA accessibility, single-cell methods for analyzing histone modifications are limited by low sensitivity and throughput. Here, we combine the CUT&Tag technology, developed to measure bulk histone modifications, with droplet-based single-cell library preparation to produce high-quality single-cell data on chromatin modifications. We apply single-cell CUT&Tag (scCUT&Tag) to tens of thousands of cells of the mouse central nervous system and probe histone modifications characteristic of active promoters, enhancers and gene bodies (H3K4me3, H3K27ac and H3K36me3) and inactive regions (H3K27me3). These scCUT&Tag profiles were sufficient to determine cell identity and deconvolute regulatory principles such as promoter bivalency, spreading of H3K4me3 and promoter-enhancer connectivity. We also used scCUT&Tag to investigate the single-cell chromatin occupancy of transcription factor OLIG2 and the cohesin complex component RAD21. Our results indicate that analysis of histone modifications and transcription factor occupancy at single-cell resolution provides unique insights into epigenomic landscapes in the central nervous system.

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.

Genome-wide Profiling of Transcription Factor-DNA Binding Interactions in Candida albicans: A Comprehensive CUT&RUN Method and Data Analysis Workflow.

Project description:Regulatory transcription factors control many important biological processes, including cellular differentiation, responses to environmental perturbations and stresses, and host-pathogen interactions. Determining the genome-wide binding of regulatory transcription factors to DNA is essential to understanding the function of transcription factors in these often complex biological processes. Cleavage under targets and release using nuclease (CUT&RUN) is a modern method for genome-wide mapping of in vivo protein-DNA binding interactions that is an attractive alternative to the traditional and widely used chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) method. CUT&RUN is amenable to a higher-throughput experimental setup and has a substantially higher dynamic range with lower per-sample sequencing costs than ChIP-seq. Here, a comprehensive CUT&RUN protocol and accompanying data analysis workflow tailored for genome-wide analysis of transcription factor-DNA binding interactions in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans are described. This detailed protocol includes all necessary experimental procedures, from epitope tagging of transcription factor-coding genes to library preparation for sequencing; additionally, it includes a customized computational workflow for CUT&RUN data analysis.

CpG content-dependent associations between transcription factors and histone modifications.

Project description:Understanding the factors that underlie the epigenetic regulation of genes is crucial to understand the gene regulatory machinery as a whole. Several experimental and computational studies examined the relationship between different factors involved. Here we investigate the relationship between transcription factors (TFs) and histone modifications (HMs), based on ChIP-seq data in cell lines. As it was shown that gene regulation by TFs differs depending on the CpG class of a promoter, we study the impact of the CpG content in promoters on the associations between TFs and HMs. We suggest an approach based on sparse linear regression models to infer associations between TFs and HMs with respect to CpG content. A study of the partial correlation of HMs for the two classes of high and low CpG content reveals possible CpG dependence and potential candidates for confounding factors in our models. We show that the models are accurate, inferred associations reflect known biological relationships, and we give new insight into associations with respect to CpG content. Moreover, analysis of a ChIP-seq dataset in HepG2 cells of the HM H3K122ac, an HM about little is known, reveals novel TF associations and supports a previously established link to active transcription.

Transcription-associated histone modifications and cryptic transcription.

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are packaged into chromatin, a highly organized structure consisting of DNA and histone proteins. All nuclear processes take place in the context of chromatin. Modifications of either DNA or histone proteins have fundamental effects on chromatin structure and function, and thus influence processes such as transcription, replication or recombination. In this review we highlight histone modifications specifically associated with gene transcription by RNA polymerase II and summarize their genomic distributions. Finally, we discuss how (mis-)regulation of these histone modifications perturbs chromatin organization over coding regions and results in the appearance of aberrant, intragenic transcription. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: RNA polymerase II Transcript Elongation.

Uncoupling histone turnover from transcription-associated histone H3 modifications.

Project description:Transcription in eukaryotes is associated with two major changes in chromatin organization. Firstly, nucleosomal histones are continuously replaced by new histones, an event that in yeast occurs predominantly at transcriptionally active promoters. Secondly, histones become modified post-translationally at specific lysine residues. Some modifications, including histone H3 trimethylation at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) and acetylation at lysines 9 (H3K9ac) and 14 (H3K14ac), are specifically enriched at active promoters where histones exchange, suggesting a possible causal relationship. Other modifications accumulate within transcribed regions and one of them, H3K36me3, is thought to prevent histone exchange. Here we explored the relationship between these four H3 modifications and histone turnover at a few selected genes. Using lysine-to-arginine mutants and a histone exchange assay, we found that none of these modifications plays a major role in either promoting or preventing histone turnover. Unexpectedly, mutation of H3K56, whose acetylation occurs prior to chromatin incorporation, had an effect only when introduced into the nucleosomal histone. Furthermore, we used various genetic approaches to show that histone turnover can be experimentally altered with no major consequence on the H3 modifications tested. Together, these results suggest that transcription-associated histone turnover and H3 modification are two correlating but largely independent events.

CUT&RUN LoV-U of beta-catenin, TCF/LEF transcription factors and histone modifications in HEK293T and mouse embryonic hindlimb tissue at 11.5 days post coitum

Project description:In our attempts to profile different regulators of the WNT/b-catenin transcriptional complex, CUT&RUN failed to produce consistent binding patterns of the non-DNA-binding b-catenin. We developed a modified CUT&RUN protocol, which we refer to as LoV-U (Low Volume and Urea), that enables the generation of robust and reproducible b-catenin binding profiles. CUT&RUN-LoV-U can profile all classes of chromatin regulators tested, as shown by datasets targeting the TCF/LEF transcription factors and various histone modifications. CUT&RUN-LoV-U uncovers direct WNT/β-catenin target genes in human cells, as well as in ex vivo cells isolated from developing mouse tissue.
