Transcriptional regulatory code of a eukaryotic genome Harbison CT et al. Nature, 2004, Vol. 431, pp. 99-104 Milica Volar 3 March 2005.
Outline of talk • Background • Yeast’s transcriptional regulatory map • Promoter structure • Regulator binding behaviour • Summary
Transcriptional regulators • Proteins that bind to specific promoter sequences in genome • Regulate genome expression and its maintenance • Cell cycle, environment changes, replication, condensation, cohesion, etc.
Genome wide location analysis Crosslink protein to DNA in vivo with formaldehyde Break open cells and shear DNA Immunoprecipitate Reverse-crosslinks, blunt DNA and ligate to unidirectional linkers LM-PCR Labeling Hybridize to array Ren B et al, 2004
Procedure They tested the binding by GWLA: 203 (84) DNA transcriptional regulators in rich media -> 11,000 unique interactions between regulators and promoter regions at high confidence (P<0.001)
Yeast transcriptional regulatory map 3,353 interactions within 1,296 promoter regions
Summary • Construction of the yeast transcriptional regulatory map • Promoter architectures • Patterns of regulator binding behaviour
