Project description:To study the transcriptional programs of FOXM1 isoforms, we generated a FOXM1 CRISPR knockout cell line then reconstituted it with FOXM1a, b or c and performed RNA sequencing.
Project description:We have performed ChIP seq analysis to obtain the positions of KAP1 and ZFP57 binding sites in mouse ES cells. By comparing the two lists, we were able to find bona fide sites. ChIP-Seq of HA tagged ZFP57 and KAP1 in mouse ES cells
Project description:TFE3 is a bHLH-ZIP transcription factor, which nuclear localization is regulated by a tumor suppressor FLCN. In order to analyze TFE3 occupancy in whole genome, we have generated and utilized a HK-2 HA-TFE3-inducible cell line which express HA-tagged TFE3 in a doxycycline-dependent manner. HA-TFE3 bound regions were determined by ChIPSeq.
Project description:SIN3 associates with RPD3 and other accessory proteins to form the SIN3 histone modifying complex. A single Sin3A gene encodes multiple SIN3 isoforms, of which SIN3 187 and SIN3 220 are predominant. Previous studies from our laboratory and others have indicated that SIN3 isoforms play non-redundant roles during fly development, however, the genes regulated by SIN3 isoforms are not known. We mapped the genome-wide binding sites of SIN3 isoforms in Drosophila. We established stable S2 cell lines that express either HA-tagged SIN3 187 or SIN3 220. The binding profiles revealed that the majority of the binding sites of SIN3 isoforms are overlapping. Our data revealed that SIN3 isoforms localize to euchromatic regions of the genome and enrichment of SIN3 isoforms are generally concentrated around the transcription start sites of genes. In addition, the extent of SIN3 binding confirmed previous findings indicating that SIN3 is a global transcriptional regulator. Genome-wide binding analysis of SIN3 187 and SIN3 220 in Drosophila. Using chromatin prepared from cell lines expressing either of the isoforms, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation on chromatin prepared from cells that expresses either of the isoforms using an antibody against HA (ChIP). We coupled our ChIP with high resolution deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify genomic targets of SIN3 isoforms.
Project description:In human cells, Staufen2 is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions. Although 51% identical to Staufen1, these proteins are nevertheless found in different RNA particles. In addition, differential splicing events generate Staufen2 isoforms that only differ at their N-terminal extremities. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen2 isoforms. The mRNA content of Staufen mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen2-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with Stau2-HA (59kDa) or Stau2-HA (62kDa) expressors. Our results indicate that 11% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau2-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity. Experiment Overall Design: HEK293 cells were transiantly transfected with plasmids coding for Staufen2-HA isoforms. Cell extracts were immunoprecipitated using anti-HA antibodies and co-immunoprecipitated mRNAs were purified and used to hybridize microarrays. As control, cell extract from mock transfected cells were used.
