The overall goal of this procedure is to characterize the proteomic composition of functionally distinct chromatin domains in order to understand how the different elements synergize to determine the transcriptional state.Eight. This is accomplished by first preparing nuclei from cultured cells and digesting chromatin into fragments of optimal length through enzymatic or mechanical means. The second step is to purify a distinct functional domain from bulk chromatin by immunoprecipitation using bait antibodies against either a histone post-translational modification or a protein known to specifically mark the region of interest.

Next, the immuno purified chromatin proteins are separated by SDS page and ingel digested prior to mass spectrometry. The following step is the liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis on a high resolution instrument. Ultimately, mass spectrometry raw data are analyzed by ad hoc software, followed by manual inspection of the spectra to identify and quantify histone modifications and coen enrich proteins based respectively on either the calculation of the relative abundance in immuno precipitated material relative to input or on the SLAC ratio and competition experiments using soluble peptide as competitor to the bait Through crop, we can gain insight into the interplays between histo modification pattern and variance and reach that specific chromatin regions and the nuclear interac recruited thereby, which all act in a concerted manner.

To define a specific chromatin landscape with regulatory effect on gene expression, the main advantage of crop over existing method based on in vitro screening for soluble interact or histo modification, such ass pull down. Using either histone peptide or reconstituted chromatin templates is the possibility to investigate locus specific chromatin composition in more native, less artificial condition. The application of crop can also be extended to other model system or in time dependent study.

For instance, we can use crop in a cell line that respond to certain perturbation eliciting a global transcriptional response. Demonstrating this procedure will be Monica Sodi. A postdoc in my lab Nuclei for the N chip procedure are prepared from unlabeled.

Chromatin is digested with MNA as a first step to purify a distinct functional domain from bulk chromatin.

The panel on the left shows a small scale MNA test in which DNA is resolved on a 1%aros gel after chromatin digestion with MNA at different time lapses. A large scale MNA digestion is shown on the right. DNA is resolved on a 1%aros gel after 60 minutes of MNAs chromatin digestion and after separation of the S one fraction containing mononucleo zones and from the S two fraction containing poly nucleosomes.

The digested chromatin and riched in mono nucleosomes is incubated with an antibody that recognizes a specific hisone post-translational modification. For example, trimethylation of lysine nine on histone H three K nine ME three, a marker of silent chromatin. The immuno purified proteins as well as the chromatin input are then separated by SDS page and colloidal kumasi staining shows core histones H three, H four, H two A, and H two B around and below the 17 kilodalton band with H three and H two B co migrating the comparison between the amount of trimm methylated glycine nine on H three present in the flow through and input indicates that about 50%of the region of interest is immuno purified, excluding the risk of a bias due to the enrichment of a minor subpopulation of chromatin.

This histogram represents the average plus minus SEM from three independent experiments for each modification mass spectrometry MS is then employed to characterize the post-translational modifications co associated within the enriched nucleosomes. All histone post-translational modifications are verified by manual inspection of the corresponding ms ms spectra in this representative Ms m Ms spectra using CID fragmentation. The B ion and Y ion series allow the definition of the sequence of the H three nine to 17 peptide and localization of the trimethylation on the lysine nine residue label-free quantification is achieved by first constructing the extracted ion chromatogram or XIC for each corresponding to every modified peptide based on the mass charge value and calculating the area under the curve or a UC for each peak.

Next, the relative abundance of the different degrees of methylation on lysine nine in the H three nine to 17 peptide is estimated by dividing the A UC of each modified peptide by the sum of the areas corresponding to all observed unmodified and modified forms of that peptide. Thirdly, the relative enrichment of each modification in the chipped material is expressed as a log two ratio between the relative abundance of each methylation in the chipped peptide over the input. The analysis of the H three nine to 17 peptide shows the enrichment of D and TRIMM methylated lysine nine with the corresponding depletion of the unmodified and monomethyl forms.

With these results as positive control for antibody specificity, the cos association or depletion of all other modifications can be assessed both at the intramolecular level on the same H three and at the intermolecular level on other coen enriched histones within the same nucleosome. This representative heat map summarizes the enrichment of all cos associating H ptms identified on histone H three, H four and H two A.Each row corresponds to a different modification and ND indicates not detected modifications to screen for all proteins. Co associating within hetero chromatin chip of cross-linked chromatin fragmented by sonication is used in combination with stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture or lac.

First, the labeling efficiency is evaluated by calculating the incorporation of heavy lysine and heavy arginine into proteins. For accurate protein quantification incorporation superior to 95%for both heavy amino acids is required as observed here, the median of lysine and arginine peptide density distribution is equal to 0.974 and 0.964 respectively. Second, the ratio of soluble peptide to antibody must be optimized.

This figure shows a zoomed mass spectra at the corresponding mass charge value of the two plus charge trimm methylated lysine nine K nine ME three in the H three nine to 17 peptide, both for light and heavy forms in input and chipped octr. While in input, the intensities of heavy and light peptide are close to one in the forward SLAC chip. The intensity of light peptide is much lower than that of the heavy counterpart, thus indicating an efficient competition.

A representative result of SDS page of light L and heavy H labeled chromatin input and co amino precipitated material chip is shown here. The lane corresponding to the chipped material was cut into 10 slices while only two slices of input were analyzed. For incorporation test analysis, slac competition experiments are typically performed in duplicate, in so-called forward and reverse formats where the competition with the excess soluble peptide is switched from the heavy H to the light L chromatin samples.

This representative full spectra shows the SLAC pair corresponding to peptides from HP one and macro two A proteins a ratio of heavy to light protein greater than one. In the forward experiment mirrored by a ratio of less than one in the reverse replica, demonstrate the specific enrichment of these proteins in hetero chromatin proteins whose intensity in the heavy and light forms are similar in both forward and reverse experiments produce a constant ratio close to one and are classified as background. The intersection of the forward and reverse X chipp experiments leads to the identification of 635 proteins present in both experiments and quantified with at least two ratio counts.

The log two plot of their heavy to light ratios represents the so-called hetero chromosome. The red dotted lines in this scatterplot represent the top 40%and 30%of protein ratios. As indicated, the genuine trimm methylated lysine nine interactors are unambiguously identified as the proteins present within the top 40%of the protein ratio distributions.

Here, the protein ratio distributions from input forward and reverse X crop experiments are shown in black, blue, and orange respectively. After watching this video, you should have a good understanding on how to prepare chromatin for E and end crop to process the mono precipitated proteins pre to mass spectrometry analysis. How to identify and quantify histon modification in mass spectra and how to define a specific interac on their protein ratios.
