Abstract

Recent development of methods for genome?wide identification of transcription factor binding sites by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) has led to novel insights into transcriptional regulation and greater understanding of the function of individual transcription factors. ChIP requires highly specific antibody against the transcriptional regulator of interest, and availability of suitable antibodies is a significant impediment to broader application of this approach. This limitation can be circumvented by tagging the transcriptional regulator of interest with a short bio epitope which is specifically biotinylated by the E. coli enzyme BirA. The biotinylated transcription factor can then be selectively pulled down on streptavidin beads under stringent conditions. This unit provides a detailed protocol for genome?wide location analysis of in vivo biotinylated transcription factors by streptavidin pull?down followed by high?throughput sequencing (bioChIP?seq).

Figure 21.20.1 System for expression of biotinylated transcription factors. (A ) Two‐vector system for titratable expression of transcription factors with C‐terminal FLAG and bio peptides. BirA recognizes and biotinylates the bio sequence on the central lysine residue (asterisk). (B ) Titration of tagged transcription factor expression by adjusting the concentration of Dox. Tagged transcription factors are slightly larger than the corresponding endogenous protein due to the epitope tags.

Figure 21.20.2 Optimization of sonication conditions. A 2‐ml quantity of nuclear extract was sonicated for 5 or 8 min using a Misonix 4000 with the amplitude of 70, cycles 15 sec on and 1 min off. The plot on the right shows size versus intensity profile of sonicated chromatin. A sonication time of 8 min led to the desired size peak of ∼200 bp.
