Applications for ChIP

�Where does my Transcription Factor (or any protein that binds DNA) interact with gDNA?

�Example: Which p53 binding site is being used?

�What is the chromatin structure (histone modifications)?�Example: Can p53 bind to this site?

�Which question you are asking determines the experimental setup:�How many samples? (2 samples or 100?)�Which Antibody? (is it validated for ChiP?)�Which method for detection? (microarray, sequencing, PCR, qPCR?)�Data Analysis?

Both questions may be necessary to fully understand gene regulation.

Challenges Facing Biological Researchers

ChIP Procedure Related• Time-consuming (multiple days)• Requires optimization of multiple steps• Low DNA yields

Antibody Related• Screening for ChIP-grade suitability tedious & frustrating

DNA Quantification & Analysis Related• Low throughput• Requires genomic DNA real-time PCR primer design experience• Requires positive & negative control assays• Tedious data analysis

Reproducible Results are a function of the Biological System and Technique

Research Application Example I: What is the mechanism of CDKN1A expression after 5- FU treatment?

5-FU treatment increases the expression of CDKN1A

Activates p53 transcription Factor

CDKN1A has p53 biniding sites (4 consensus sites!)Research Questions:

Does p53 bind to the CDKN1A promoter?

Which of the 4 sites are used?

Are all 4 sites equally accessible? (chromatin strucutre questions)

How can we experimentally accomplish this?
