Title Genome-wide Analysis of KAP1 Binding Suggests Auto-regulation of KRAB-ZNFs
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Expression profiling by array
Genome binding/occupancy profiling by genome tiling array
Summary We performed a genome-scale ChIP-chip comparison of two modifications (trimethylation of lysine 9 and trimethylation of lysine 27) of histone H3 in Ntera2 testicular carcinoma cells and in three different anatomical sources of primary human fibroblasts. We found that in each of the cell types the two modifications were differentially enriched at the promoters of the two largest classes of transcription factors. Specifically, zinc finger genes were bound by H3me3K9 and homeobox genes were bound by H3me3K27. We have previously shown that the PRC2 complex is responsible for mediating trimethylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 in human cancer cells. In contrast, there is little overlap between H3me3K9 targets and components of the PRC2 complex, suggesting that a different histone methyltransferase is responsible for the H3me3K9 modification. Previous studies have shown that SETDB1 can trimethylate H3 on lysine 9, using in vitro or artificial tethering assays. SETDB1 is thought to be recruited to chromatin by complexes containing the KAP1 co-repressor. To determine if a KAP1-containing complex mediates trimethylation of the identified H3me3K9 targets, we performed ChIP-chip assays and identified KAP1 target genes using human 5kb promoter arrays. We found that a large number of promoters of zinc finger transcription factors were bound by both KAP1 and H3me3K9 in normal and cancer cells. To expand our studies of KAP1, we next performed a complete genomic analysis of KAP1 binding using a 38 array tiling set, identifying ~7000 KAP1 binding sites. The identified KAP1 targets were highly enriched for C2H2 zinc fingers, especially those containing KRAB domains. Interestingly, although most KAP1 binding sites were within core promoter regions, the binding sites near ZNF genes were greatly enriched within transcribed regions of the target genes. Because KAP1 is recruited to the DNA via interaction with KRAB-ZNF proteins, we suggest that expression of KRAB-ZNF genes may be controlled via an auto-regulatory mechanism involving KAP1.

Overall design Amplicons were applied either to ENCODE arrays, 5 kb promoter arrays, or to the human genome tiling array set consisting of 38 arrays (see www.nimblegen.com for details). The labeling and hybridization of DNA samples for ChIP-chip analysis was performed by NimbleGen Systems, Inc, except that ENCODE arrays were hybridized at UC Davis. Briefly, each DNA sample (1 μg) was denatured in the presence of 5'-Cy3- or Cy5-labeled random nonamers (TriLink Biotechnologies) and incubated with 100 units (exo-) Klenow fragment (NEB) and dNTP mix [6 mM each in TE buffer (10 mM Tris/1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4; Invitrogen)] for 2 h at 37°C. Reactions were terminated by addition of 0.5 M EDTA (pH 8.0), precipitated with isopropanol, and resuspended in water. Then, 13ug of the Cy5-labeled ChIP sample and 13ug of the Cy3- labeled total sample were mixed, dried down, and resuspended in 40 μl of NimbleGen Hybridization Buffer (NimbleGen Systems) plus 1.5 ug of human COT1 DNA. After denaturation, hybridization was carried out in a MAUI Hybridization System (BioMicro Systems) for 18 h at 42°C. The arrays were washed using NimbleGen Wash Buffer System (NimbleGen Systems), dried by centrifugation, and scanned at 5-μm resolution using the GenePix 4000B scanner (Axon Instruments). Fluorescence intensity raw data were obtained from scanned images of the oligonucleotide tiling arrays using NIMBLESCAN 2.0 extraction software (NimbleGen Systems). For each spot on the array, log2-ratios of the Cy5-labeled test sample versus the Cy3-labeled reference sample were calculated. Then, the biweight mean of this log2 ratio was subtracted from each point; this procedure is approximately equivalent to mean-normalization of each channel.
Total RNA was prepared from 5x106 Ntera cells using RNAeasy Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA quality was ensured using the Agilent Systems Bioanalyzer. The RNA was hybridized to human whole genome expression microarrays from Nimblegen, which contain probes for every human gene based on genome build HG18 from the UCSC database (more details at http://www.nimblegen.com). 10 ug total RNA were used to synthesize cDNA using the SuperScript Double-Stranded cDNA synthesis kit (Invitrogen). The labeling of RNA samples, array hybridization and preliminary RNA expression analysis (data normalization) was performed by NimbleGen Systems, Inc.
