DNA unmethylome profiling via covalent capture of CpG sites


ABSTRACT: Cytosine 5-modification is a widespread epigenetic mark in eukaryote genomes including humans, but its large scale populational studies are hampered by substantial limitations of the existing analytical techniques. We have developed a new approach for mapping of the unmodified fraction of the genome, i.e. DNA unmethylome, which is based on covalent tagging of unmodified CpG sites with biotin. Sequence-specific tagging of DNA was achieved by using an engineered version of the SssI cytosine-5 methyltransferase and a synthetic analog of the S-adenosylmethionine cofactor carrying a transferable 6-aminohex-2-ynyl group. Analysis of the streptavidin-enriched human unmethylome on tiling DNA microarrays showed that the new approach (named mTAG-chip) offers nanogram sensitivity, a substantially higher precision in the low and medium CpG density regions and added versatility as compared with the existing epigenome profiling techniques.
