Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful technique to study interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and DNA in vivo. For genome-wide de novo discovery of TF-binding sites, the DNA that is obtained in ChIP experiments needs to be processed for sequence identification. The sequences can be identified by direct sequencing (ChIP-SEQ) or hybridization to microarrays (ChIP-CHIP). Given the small amounts of DNA that are usually obtained in ChIP experiments, successful and reproducible sample processing is challenging. Here we provide a detailed procedure for ChIP of plant TFs, as well as protocols for sample preparation for ChIP-SEQ and for ChIP-CHIP. Our ChIP procedure is optimized for high signal-to-noise ratio starting with tissue fixation, followed by nuclei isolation, immunoprecipitation, DNA amplification and purification. We also provide a guide for primary data analysis of ChIP-SEQ data. The complete protocol for ChIP-SEQ/ChIP-CHIP sample preparation starting from plant harvest takes approximately 7 d.

D047369 Chromatin Immunoprecipitation A technique for identifying specific DNA sequences that are bound, in vivo, to proteins of interest. It involves formaldehyde fixation of CHROMATIN to crosslink the DNA-BINDING PROTEINS to the DNA. After shearing the DNA into small fragments, specific DNA-protein complexes are isolated by immunoprecipitation with protein-specific ANTIBODIES. Then, the DNA isolated from the complex can be identified by PCR amplification and sequencing. Immunoprecipitation, Chromatin
