Project description:Acetylation and dimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 are prominent marks of euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. Moreover, histone acetylation has been linked to lipid metabolism. We have previously identified the transcription factor Cbf11 as a regulator of lipid metabolism and genome integrity in the fission yeast. Cut6, the acetyl-CoA carboxylase, is one of direct targets of Cbf11. To link the role of Cbf11 in lipid metabolism and chromatin regulation we have performed ChIP-seq of H3K9ac, H3K9me2 and H3 in WT and cbf11KO strains of Schizosaccharomyces pombe in three biological replicates. Strain genotypes: wild type JB32 (h+s); cbf11 knock-out MP44 (h+ cbf11::natR).
Project description:Occupancy profiling of lysine 9 dimethylated histone H3 in fission yeast. Agilent 60mer array was used to analyze DNA recovered by immunoprecipitation of lysine 9 dimethylated histone H3 from asynchronous culture of fission yeast.
Project description:Occupancy profiling of lysine 9 dimethylated histone H3 in fission yeast. Occupancy profiling of Red1, Mtl1, and Mmi1 proteins in fission yeast. Agilent 60mer array was used to analyze DNA recovered by immunoprecipitation of lysine 9 dimethylated histone H3, Red1, Mtl1, and Mmi1 proteins from asynchronous culture of fission yeast.
Project description:Histone H3 lysine9 acetylation, rather than lysine4 trimethylation, marks meiotic recombination hotspots and promotes recombination initiation in fission yeast
