Curation notes
ChIP-seq+MEME
some sites verified by RT-PCR in independent curation
Experimental Process
ChIP seq, plus peak-calling.
Peak fragments fed to MEME for detection of binding motif.
Expression data curated from previous source [PMID: 16299312].
Details of ChIP-seq:
"We compared the peak lists generated from all three samples and required that a peak be called in at least two of the three experiments to be considered a vcFur-binding site (Table S1). The average ChIP peak length was ∼500 bp."
ChIP assay conditions
VchFur: Vibrio cholerae El Tor biotype strain C6706 and a spontaneous lacZ− derivative of C6706 were used as parental (WT) strains. Fiftymilliliters ofexponentiallygrowing cultureinLB+ 40μM FeSO4 were induced with 0.1% arabinose for 30 min at 37° C.
ChIP notes
Formaldehyde was added to a final concentration of 1% and incubated at RT for 20 min with occasional swirling. Crosslinking was quenched by adding glycine to 0.5M. Cell pellets were washed in 1× TBS and resuspended in lysis buffer [10 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM EGTA, 0.1% deoxycholate (DOC), 0.5% N-lauroylsarcosine] plus protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma) and 1 mg/mL lysozyme and were incubated at 37° C for 30 min. The cells were sonicated 1×for 30 s with a needle sonicator, and unlysed debris was pelleted by centrifugation. The lysate was sonicated for 20 min with a 10-s on/10-s off cycle (Mixsonix). A sample was taken as a sequencing input control. Following clarification by centrifugation, 1/10 volume of 10% Triton X-100 in lysis buffer was added to each sample followed by 100 μL of Dynal-Protein G beads coated with anti-V5 monoclonal antibody (Sigma), and samples were incubated overnight with rotation. The beads were washed 5× with RIPA buffer [50 mM Hepes (pH7.5), 500 mM LiCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Nonidet P-40, 0.7% DOC] and then 1× in Tris-EDTA pH 8.0 plus 50 mM NaCl and were resuspended in 100μL elution buffer [50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM EDTA, 1% SDS]. Samples were incubated at 65° C for 30 min, and the beads were pelleted by centrifugation. Supernatants were incubated at 65° C overnight to reverse crosslinks. Samples were incubated with 8 μL of 10-mg/mL RNase A for 2 h at 37° C and then with 4μL of 20 mg/mL proteinase K at 55° C for 2 h and were purified with Qiagen MinElute Reaction Cleanup Kit and quantitated with Pico green kit (Invitrogen). Experiments were performed in triplicate. One to three nanograms of ChIP or input DNA was processed for sequencing by the addition of a polyA tail as described by Helicos protocols (http://www.helicosbio.com/). Samples were sequenced using the HeliScope Single Molecule Sequencer at the Molecular Biology Core Facility in the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA. The sequence reads were aligned to th

ChIP-Seq is equivalent to ChIP-chip down to the last step. In ChIP-Seq, immunoprecipiated DNA fragments are prepared for sequencing and funneled into a massively parallel sequencer that produces short reads. Even though the sonication step is the same as in ChIP-chip, ChIP-Seq will generate multiple short-reads within any given 500 bp region, thereby pinning down the location of TFBS to within 50-100 bp. A similar result can be obtained with ChIP-chip using high-density tiling-arrays. The downside of ChIP-Seq is that sensitivity is proportional to cost, as sensitivity increases with the number of (expensive) parallel sequencing runs. To control for biases, ChIP-seq experiments often use the "input" as a control. This is DNA sequence resulting from the same pipeline as the ChIP-seq experiment, but omitting the immunoprecipitation step. It therefore should have the same accessibility and sequencing biases as the experiment data.
In motif discovery, we are given a set of sequences that we suspect harbor binding sites for a given transcription factor. A typical scenario is data coming from expression experiments, in which we wish to analyze the promoter region of a bunch of genes that are up- or down-regulated under some condition. The goal of motif discovery is to detect the transcription factor binding motif (i.e. the sequence “pattern” bound by the TF), by assuming that it will be overrepresented in our sample of sequences. There are different strategies to accomplish this, but the standard approach uses expectation maximization (EM) and in particular Gibbs sampling or greedy search. Popular algorithms for motif discovery are MEME, Gibbs Motif Sampler or CONSENSUS. More recently, motif discovery algorithms that make use of phylogenetic foot-printing (the idea that TF-binding site will be conserved in the promoter sequences for the same gene in different species) have become available. These are not usually applied to complement experimental work, but can be used to provide a starting point for it. Popular algorithms include FootPrinter and PhyloGibbs.

A typical scenario is data coming from expression experiments, in which we wish to analyze the promoter region of a bunch of genes that are up- or down-regulated under some condition. The goal of motif discovery is to detect the transcription factor binding motif (i.e. the sequence “pattern” bound by the TF), by assuming that it will be overrepresented in our sample of sequences. There are different strategies to accomplish this, but the standard approach uses expectation maximization (EM) and in particular Gibbs sampling or greedy search. Popular algorithms for motif discovery are MEME, Gibbs Motif Sampler or CONSENSUS. More recently, motif discovery algorithms that make use of phylogenetic foot-printing (the idea that TF-binding site will be conserved in the promoter sequences for the same gene in different species) have become available. These are not usually applied to complement experimental work, but can be used to provide a starting point for it. Popular algorithms include FootPrinter and PhyloGibbs.
ChIP-Seq is equivalent to ChIP-chip down to the last step. In ChIP-Seq, immunoprecipiated DNA fragments are prepared for sequencing and funneled into a massively parallel sequencer that produces short reads. Even though the sonication step is the same as in ChIP-chip, ChIP-Seq will generate multiple short-reads within any given 500 bp region, thereby pinning down the location of TFBS to within 50-100 bp. A similar result can be obtained with ChIP-chip using high-density tiling-arrays. The downside of ChIP-Seq is that sensitivity is proportional to cost, as sensitivity increases with the number of (expensive) parallel sequencing runs. To control for biases, ChIP-seq experiments often use the "input" as a control. This is DNA sequence resulting from the same pipeline as the ChIP-seq experiment, but omitting the immunoprecipitation step. It therefore should have the same accessibility and sequencing biases as the experiment data.

To control for biases, ChIP-seq experiments often use the "input" as a control. This is DNA sequence resulting from the same pipeline as the ChIP-seq experiment, but omitting the immunoprecipitation step. It therefore should have the same accessibility and sequencing biases as the experiment data.
In motif discovery, we are given a set of sequences that we suspect harbor binding sites for a given transcription factor. A typical scenario is data coming from expression experiments, in which we wish to analyze the promoter region of a bunch of genes that are up- or down-regulated under some condition. The goal of motif discovery is to detect the transcription factor binding motif (i.e. the sequence “pattern” bound by the TF), by assuming that it will be overrepresented in our sample of sequences. There are different strategies to accomplish this, but the standard approach uses expectation maximization (EM) and in particular Gibbs sampling or greedy search. Popular algorithms for motif discovery are MEME, Gibbs Motif Sampler or CONSENSUS. More recently, motif discovery algorithms that make use of phylogenetic foot-printing (the idea that TF-binding site will be conserved in the promoter sequences for the same gene in different species) have become available. These are not usually applied to complement experimental work, but can be used to provide a starting point for it. Popular algorithms include FootPrinter and PhyloGibbs.
ChIP-Seq is equivalent to ChIP-chip down to the last step. In ChIP-Seq, immunoprecipiated DNA fragments are prepared for sequencing and funneled into a massively parallel sequencer that produces short reads. Even though the sonication step is the same as in ChIP-chip, ChIP-Seq will generate multiple short-reads within any given 500 bp region, thereby pinning down the location of TFBS to within 50-100 bp.
