Episomal S/MAR-based replicons do not alter expression profile of host genome

ABSTRACT: Methods: Autonomously replicating vectors represent a simple and versatile model system for genetic modifications, but their localisation in the nucleus is largely unknown. Using circular chromosome conformation capture we mapped genomic contact sites of S/MAR-based replicons in HeLa cells. The influence of cis-active sequences on genomic localisation was assessed using replicons containing either an insulator sequence or an intron Results: While the original and the insulator-containing replicons displayed distinct contact sites, the intron-containing replicon showed a rather broad genomic contact pattern. Our results indicate a preference for certain chromatin structures and a rather non-dynamic behaviour during mitosis. Independent of inserted cis-active elements established vector molecules reside preferentially within actively transcribed regions, especially within promoter sequences and transcription start sites. Conclusions: S/MAR-based episomal replicons have a limited number of preferential contact sites and seem to be fairly non-dynamic during mitosis. We show that cis-acting elements do have an impact on the chormosomal localisation of episomal replicons, even though the epigenetic signatue of these contact sites are similar. Independently of the inserted cis-acting element, these contact sites are preferentially located within actively transcribed regions, especially promoter sites. Knowledge of preferred contact sites of exogenous DNA, e.g. viral or non-viral episomes, contribute to our understanding of episome behaviour in the nucleus and can be used for vector improvement and guiding of DNA sequences to specific subnuclear sites.

Project description:This data was generated by ENCODE. If you have questions about the data, contact the submitting laboratory directly (Yin Shen mailto:y7shen@ucsd.edu). If you have questions about the Genome Browser track associated with this data, contact ENCODE (mailto:genome@soe.ucsc.edu). This track shows a comprehensive survey of cis-regulatory elements in the mouse genome by using ChIP-seq (Robertson et al., 2007) to identify transcription factor binding sites and chromatin modification profiles in many mouse (C57Bl/6) tissues and primary cells, including bone marrow, cerebellum, cortex, heart, kidney, liver, lung, spleen, mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEFs) and embryonic stem (ES) cells. In specific, the Ren lab examined RNA polymerase II (PolII), co-activator protein p300, the insulator protein CTCF, and two chromatin modification marks H3K4me3 and H3K4me1 due to their demonstrated utilities in identifying promoters, enhancers and insulator elements (Barski et al., 2007; Blow et al., 2010; Heintzman et al., 2009; Kim et al., 2007; Kim et al., 2005a; Visel et al., 2009). Enrichment of H3K4me3 or PolII signals is a strong indicator of active promoter, while the presence of p300 or H3K4me1 outside of promoter regions has been used as a mark for enhancers. CTCF binding sites are considered as a mark for potential insulator elements. For each transcription factor or chromatin mark in each tissue, ChIP-seq was carried out with at least two biological replicates. Each experiment produced 20-30 million monoclonal, uniquely mapped tags. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf Cells were grown according to the approved ENCODE cell culture protocols (http://hgwdev/ENCODE/protocols/cell/mouse). Enrichment and Library Preparation: Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed according to Ren Lab ChIP Protocol (http://bioinformatics-renlab.ucsd.edu/RenLabChipProtocolV1.pdf). Library construction was performed according to Ren Lab Library Protocol (http://bioinformatics-renlab.ucsd.edu/RenLabLibraryProtocolV1.pdf). Sequencing and Analysis: Samples were sequenced on Illumina Genome Analyzer II Genome Analyzer IIx, and HiSeq 2000 platforms for 36 cycles. Image analysis, base calling and alignment to the mouse genome version mm9 were performed using Illumina's RTA and Genome Analyzer Pipeline software. Alignment to the mouse genome was performed using ELAND or Bowtie (Langmead et al., 2009) with a seed length of 25 and allowing up to two mismatches. Only the sequences that mapped to one location were used for further analysis. Of those sequences, clonal reads, defined as having the same start position on the same strand, were discarded. BED and wig files were created using custom perl scripts.
