Comment[ArrayExpressAccession] E-GEOD-23686 Public Release Date 2010-12-07 Investigation Title Genome-wide binding of replication initiation proteins in Bacillus subtilis Comment[Submitted Name] Genome-wide binding of replication initiation proteins in Bacillus subtilis Experiment Description Initiation of DNA replication requires binding of the initiator protein, DnaA, to specific binding sites in the chromosomal origin of replication, oriC. In low G+C Gram-positive bacteria, the primosomal proteins DnaD and DnaB, in conjunction with loader ATPase DnaI, load the replicative helicase at oriC, and this depends on DnaA. DnaD and DnaB are also required to load the replicative helicase outside of oriC during replication restart, in a DnaA-independent manner. DnaA also binds to many sites around the chromosome, outside of oriC, and acts as a transcription factor at several of these. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, we found that DnaD and DnaB, but not the replicative helicase, are associated with many of the chromosomal regions bound by DnaA in vivo in Bacillus subtilis. This association was dependent on DnaA and the order of recruitment was the same as that at oriC, but was independent of a functional oriC. The presence of DnaD and DnaB at the secondary (non-oriC) targets of DnaA in the absence of helicase loading indicates a possible role for DnaD and DnaB in modulating the activity of DnaA. The genome-wide binding profiles of DnaA, DnaD, DnaB and DnaC were determined. Binding profiles were determined in exponentially growing cells with and without HPUra treatment. Three biological replicates were analyzed per protein/treatment (one per array). Enrichment in immunoprecipitated samples versus total genomic DNA were determined.

VALUE = Lowess-normalized log2 ratio (IP/total) Samples were hybridized as described in Auchtung et al. 2005 PNAS 102:12554-9 [PMID 16105942]. Cells were grown in minimal 1% glucose medium until OD600 reached approximately 0.6. At this point, cells were treated with HPUra or not, and growth was continued for another 30 minutes before harvesting. GPR files were loaded and processed in Prep+07 (BMC Bioinformatics 2009, 10:16 [PMID 19134227; doi:10.1186/1471-2105-10-16). Lowess normalization was performed and spots for which signal was 90% within 2SD above background were removed. Results from the Prep+07 analysis were manually curated in Microsoft Excel for spots that had <2 datapoints with quality data for downstream analysis. Arrays were scanned and analyzed with GenePix Pro 3.0 (Axon Instruments). To induce replication stress by arresting the replicative polymerase PolC, the inhibitor HPUra was added at a final concentration of 38 ug/mL to exponentially growing cells for 30 minutes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of DNA bound to native proteins was done essentially as described (1998, Lin and Grossman, Cell, 92:675-685 [PMID 9506522]; 2007, Breier and Grossman, Molecular Microbiology, 64:703-718 [PMID 17462018]). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of DNA bound to native proteins was done essentially as described (1998, Lin and Grossman, Cell, 92:675-685 [PMID 9506522]; 2007, Breier and Grossman, Molecular Microbiology, 64:703-718 [PMID 17462018]). Anti-DnaB/C/D were custom antibodies (sera), and were obtained from Covance (CRP, Inc); they do not have a catalog number. Anti-DnaB, anti-DnaC and anti-DnaD were raised in rabbits after purification of tagged proteins in the Grossman lab. For the experiments, the following bleeds were used: DnaB: rabbit HM654, exsanguination DnaC: rabbit HM6351, test bleed 2 DnaD: rabbit HM6354, production bleed 3 The IP requires a second antibody: AffiniPure Donkey Anti-Chicken IgY from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories Inc. Catalog #703-005-155. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of DNA bound to native proteins was done essentially as described (1998, Lin and Grossman, Cell, 92:675-685 [PMID 9506522]; 2007, Breier and Grossman, Molecular Microbiology, 64:703-718 [PMID 17462018]). Anti-DnaA was raised in chicken and comes from W. F. Burkholder (Stanford). The use of these antibodies is described in Goranov 2005 Proc Nat Acad Sci USA and Breier 2009 J. Bacteriol. Anti-DnaA serum came from chicken #1316. The IP requires a second antibody: AffiniPure Donkey Anti-Chicken IgY from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories Inc. Catalog #703-005-155. Samples were prepared for microarray analysis by labelling aliquots of the resuspended immunoprecipitated DNA or total control DNA with aminoallyl-dUTP using 13 U Sequenase (USB) and 5 μg random nonamer. The labelled samples were purified, conjugated to Cy3 or Cy5, and hybridized to microarrays.
