Project description:p85beta of the PI3K can localize to the nucleus. Our immunoprecipitation data showed that it physically interacts with a transcription factor BCLAF1. To reveal the enrichment of p85beta and BCLAF1 at genomic regions and to determine whether p85beta and BCLAF1 co-occupy at genomic regions, chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed.
Project description:We report DNA adenine methyltransferase identification (DamID)-sequencing data to identify Gon4l-associated genomic regions in wild-type (WT) tailbud (TB) stage zebrafish embryos. Methylated, and therefore Gon4l-proximal, gDNA was isolated from embryos expressing a Gon4l-Dam fusion and compared to that from embryos expressing GFP-Dam control.
Project description:BCLAF1 is a serine-arginine (SR) protein implicated in transcriptional regulation and mRNA splicing. We have recently identified BCLAF1 as part of a novel mRNA splicing complex that is recruited to different genetic promoters by the breast cancer susceptiblity protein, BRCA1 in response to DNA damage. This ChIP-chip study was designed to identify genes/promoters regulated by the BRCA1/BCLAG1 mRNA splicing complex by identifying promoters bound by BCLAF1 in the absense and presense of BRCA1 in control cells and cells treated with etoposide to induce DNA damage. This study includes tripicate BCLAF1 ChIP-chip experiments in untreated and etoposide treated (1uM 16 hours) control cells (siGFP) and cells depleted of BRCA1 (siBRCA1). Chromatin Immunoprecipitaitons were performed in triplicate with BCLAF1 antibodies in control 293T cells transfected with siGFP siRNAs and BRCA1 siRNAs (siBRCA1 to deplete BRCA1). Immunoprecipitated genomic DNA was labelled with Cy3 and Input genomic DNA was labelled with Cy5 and hybridized to NimbleGen human 3x720k RefSeq promoter arrays to identify BCLAF1 boundgenomic DNA regions.
Project description:High mobility group (HMG) proteins interact with other architectural proteins to regulate chromatin structure. We performed genome-wide mapping experiments to examine the distribution of HMGN1 across the human genome. We discovered that HMGN1 proteins are enriched at regulatory regions such as DNase I HS sites, distal transcription factor binding sites and promoters of actively transcribed genes. YY1, the Yin Yang 1 transcription factor, is a ubiquitous transcription factor that functions either as a transcriptional activator or a repressor, depending on its interacting partner. To test the preferential localization of HMGN1 with active regulatory regions, we examined the association of transcription factor YY1 and HMGN1 in CD4+ T cells. Examination of the genomic profile of HMGN1 and the relationship with regulatory elements in CD4+ T cells.
