CASCADE - Customizable high-throughput platform for profiling cofactor recruitment to DNA to characterize cis-regulatory elements and screen non-coding SNPs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Determining how DNA variants affect the binding of regulatory complexes to cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and non-coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (ncSNPs) is a challenge in genomics. To address this challenge, we present CASCADE (Comprehensive ASsessment of Complex Assembly at DNA Elements) – a protein-binding microarray (PBM)-based approach to profile the recruitment of cofactors (COFs) to DNA sequence variants, and to infer the identity of the transcription factor-cofactor (TF-COF) complexes involved. We use CASCADE to characterize regulatory complexes binding to CREs and SNP quantitative trait loci (SNP-QTLs) in resting and stimulated human macrophages. By profiling p300 we correctly identify IRF3 and NF-κB as LPS-dependent regulators of the chemokine CXCL10, and by profiling a set of five functionally diverse COFs we identify a prevalence of ETS sites mediating COF recruitment at SNP-QTLs in macrophages. Our results demonstrate that CASCADE is a customizable, high-throughput platform to link DNA variants with the biophysical complexes that mediate functions such as chromatin modification or remodeling in a cell state-specific manner.
