Project description:RPF-1, a transcription factors encoded by POU6F2 gene, appears to be expressed in the developing nervous system and embryonic kidney. We generated a stable HEK/RPF-1 transfectant expressing the protein in a tetracycline (Tet)-dependent induction and addressed the whole transcriptome regulated by RPF-1. We detected a gross alteration of gene expression that is consistent with its occupancy at proximal promoters, and gel retardation assay and promoter-reporter activity, addressing a few target genes, indicated a dependence by RPF-1 of transcriptional response. GO analysis supports a role for this factor in the genetic programs guiding early differentiation of embryonic kidney and neuronal fate.

Gene array analysis shows that RPF-1 transcription factor modify the transcriptome of HEK293 cells by regulating a genetic program endowed with developmental programs Comparison of HEK293 cells induced for RPF-1 expression (Tet-) over uninduced control (Tet+) and Mock cells. RPF-1 cDNA was inserted into the pTRE2puro vector to generate stable Tet-inducible KEK293 transfectants. Upon Tet removal from the medium, HEK/RPF-1 transfectants expressed the transcription factor RPF-1. Cells were then seeded in 10 cm dishes, cultured for 48 h either in complete medium supplemented with Tet (+) or in Tet-depleted medium (-), harvested, and spun down before RNA isolation. Comparative analysis between HEK/RPF-1 induced (Tet-) and uninduced (Tet+) transfectants allowed us to identify genes transcriptionally regulated by RPF-1. Residual effects on gene expression due to Tet supplementation into culture media was ruled out by comparison with the Mock transfectant.

Project description:Nr5a2 (also known as liver receptor homolog-1, Lrh-1) has been shown to bind both the proximal enhancer and proximal promoter regions of Pou5f1 and regulate Pou5f1 in the epiblast stage of mouse embryonic development (Gu et al., 2005). Nr5a2-null embryos display a loss of Oct4 expression in the epiblasts (Gu et al., 2005) and die between E6.5 and E7.5 (Gu et al., 2005; Pare et al., 2004). To identify the targets of Nr5a2, we generated a stable ES cell-line that expresses HA-tagged Nr5a2. Anti-HA antibody was used to immunoprecipitate HA-Nr5a2 for ChIP-seq analysis. Keywords: Transcription factor binding sites To identify the binding sites of Nr5a2, we generated a stable ES cell-line that expresses HA-tagged Nr5a2. Anti-HA antibody was used to immunoprecipitate HA-Nr5a2.
Project description:RPF-1 binds promoters of genes modulated by its induction in HEK/RPF-1 transfectant Chromatin IP (ChIP) combined to chromatin array analysis (ChIP-chip) shows that RPF-1 transcription factor bind to promoter elements of genes repressed or activated by RPF-1 expression
Project description:We determined DNA-binding sites of the yeast transcription factor Yfl052w by ChIP-exo. Cells were grown in the YP media containing palatinose. Yfl052w was tagged with HA tag and anti-HA antibody was used for the immunoprecipitation. Examination of Yfl052 trancription factor in HA-tagged and wt cells (as a control)
