Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to Study the Transcriptional Regulatory Network that Controls Iron Homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana

Résumé

In plants, gene expression is orchestrated by thousands of transcription factors (TFs). For instance, a large set of bHLH TFs are involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana. The identification of the direct target genes of TFs through uncovering the interaction between the TFs and cis-regulatory elements has become an essential step toward a comprehensive understanding of the iron homeostasis transcriptional regulatory network in Arabidopsis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by qRT-PCR (ChIP-qPCR), sequencing (ChIP-seq), or chip hybridization (ChIP-chip) is a robust tool to investigate protein-DNA interactions in plants in a physiological context. The procedure generally includes six steps: DNA-protein crosslink, isolation of nuclei, shearing of chromatin, immunoprecipitation, DNA purification, and qRT-PCR analyses. In this protocol, we describe guidelines, experimental setup, and conditions for ChIP experiment in Arabidopsis. This protocol focuses on seedlings grown in control and iron deficiency conditions, but can readily be adapted for use with other Arabidopsis tissues or samples. In addition, the protocol could also be applied to perform ChIP-chip or ChIP-seq experiments.
