Genome-Wide Mapping of in Vivo Protein-DNA Interactions
Vast knowledge is available on transcription factor binding. Unfortunately, not much is known about the structure and function of complete DNA interactomes. Even less is known about organisms with larger genomes. Presently mouse, human, and other large genomes have been sequenced. Thus, it is feasible to quantify how transcription factors are carried along a whole genome for various cells in physiological conditions. If measurements are obtained, such provide an outline of function and makeup of DNA interactomes. The interactions occurring between the chromosome and transcription factors can be analyzed using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). The technique ChIP involves an immune

All strong established NRSF (≥90% match to prior developed motif model) motifs across the human genome were detectable populated. The high detectable binding propose that no strong sites were missed and all sites are available for NRSF binding in some individual Jurkat cells part time. Other studies with ChIPSeq-positive signals in transfection analysis were similar to a wide range of ChIPSeq signals with all except one being positive in each ChIPSeq conducted experiment. These results and the sensitivity results, showed NRSF interactome measurements to be genome-comprising and have been studied thoroughly enough to include more sites known than any prior experiment. The level of genome-wholeness is deducible to Solexa/Illumina sequencing sampling and is greater than in previous studies of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) interactomes measured by SACO and the p53 interactomes measured by ChIPPet. NRSF binding near promoters was concluded to be a repressor of transcription of Jurkat cells. This was found by seeking out high-confidence promoter predictions in 1KB of a ChIPSeq peak and hybridizing labeled RNA to Illumina RefSeq8 Sentrix arrays. A MEME search concluded only 2 candidate motifs when their experimental interactome peak domains were applied to the search. The two motifs from the MEME search were concluded to correspond to the left and right sides of the established motif and a distinctive design was found within 50 bp of multiple ChIPSeq peaks. Also, they observed a few binding positions that had multiple grouped occurrences of noncanonical motifs along the canonical one. This new finding could not be compared to structural data of NRSF because none is currently available. They found genes encoding 110 transcription factors, 22 microRNAs, and 5 slicing regulators all associated with NRSF. This proposes a possible negative autoregulatory feedback mechanism. For the first time, they

    Phage Lab Report

    • 370 Words

    The first step in phage infection is the attachment of the phage to the host cell surface. This is typically accomplished by the recognition of a receptor on the outside of the bacterial cell wall such as an antigen, pilus or other structure. There is much variability from phage to phage in terms of which receptor they bind to. Bacteriophage can generally be classified into two categories, lysogenic and lytic (virulent) (Fig 6). The choice between the lytic and lysogenic cycle depends on the relative expression rates of phage repressor encoded by a cII gene (promoting lysogeny) and cro protein, capable of turning off repressor gene expression and starting the lytic pathway (Campbell, 1967).…

    1. In a re-sequencing study to detect genetic variation that influences expression and inducibility of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, novel mutations are detected in the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR; NR1I3), a nuclear hormone receptor that acts as a transcription factor and controls the expression of CYPs including CYP34. Activation of CAR induces (increases) the expression of CYP enzymes. An alignment of the amino acid sequence of human, monkey, rat, and mouse CARs is indicated below.…

    There are four broad stages to this process that include: promoter recognition, initiation, synthesis, and termination. Each stage of transcription determines something different about parts of gene expression. For example, transcription can be turned on or blocked from happening. Differences in initiation can decide if transcription even takes place or not. Also, synthesis could determine "how much" transcription is necessary.…

    Gram + Cocci To identify the Gram + cocci I first performed a catalyst test which produced oxygen bubbles and indicated a positive catalase result. The next test I preformed was a mannitol salt test using a mannitol-salt agar plate and the results showed positive fermentation turning the plate yellow and also positive growth. This led me to conclusion that my unknown Gram + cocci was Staphylococcus aureus.

    Purpose This experiment consisted of passaging or subculturing a flask of HeLa cells. This provides more room for cells to grow. The process included transferring the cells into a new flask in order for them to continue growth, using trypsin to dissociate adherent cells from the flask, which then makes it possible to neutralize the trypsin and do a cell count. In addition, we used phenol red as our indicator of successful buffering.…

    DNA wrapped around histones is a DNA-protein complex called chromatin that exists within the nucleus. How would spatial and temporal arrangement of these chromatin affect the gene expression in the eukaryotic genome? With the development of Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) and the techniques that followed, it is now significantly easier to study the relationship between organization and gene expression within the nucleus. It has been used to identify long-range chromatin interactions. The Hi-C technique was developed in 2009, which is based on the 3C technique, and made so that chromatin interactions could be studied in a genome-wide manner.…

    Gram-positive cocci are an interesting group of bacteria to study. Some common species include Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Sarcina lutea. Gram-positive cocci have a gram positive cell wall, cocci morphology and many different styles of grouping. Some species have begun to exhibit a resistance to fluoroquinolone by the use of altering the drug binding site and the use of a membrane pump (Hooper 2002).…
