Mapping of DNA-protein interaction sites: CHIP seq
Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation Sequencing is a methodology used to analyze the DNA-proteins interactions. This technology combines chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), using antibodies specific to a protein of interest and high throughput sequencing.
ChIP enables the mapping of all DNA binding sites of a protein of interest at the genome level. For example, it is possible to identify each genomic region associated with a nucleosomal histone carrying a biochemical modification (acetylation, methylation, etc.) typical of transcription activity, or to define transcription factors binding sites (PJ Park et al. 2009).
The principle of the methodology consists in covalently binding DNA-bound proteins by chemical process, fragmenting chromatin, isolating DNA-protein complexes by immunoprecipitation in the presence of the antibody of interest. After protein depletion and purification, the DNA fragments collected are sequenced.
