In this chapter, we describe the proteomic approach named “Native Chromatin Proteomics” (N-ChroP) that couples a modified Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation (ChIP) protocol with the mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins to study the combinatorial enrichment or exclusion of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) at specific genomic regions, such as promoters or enhancers. We describe the protocol steps from the digestion of chromatin and nucleosome immunoprecipitation to histone digestion and peptide enrichment prior to MS analysis, up to the MS raw data analysis. We also discuss current challenges and offer suggestions based on the direct hands-on experience acquired during the method setup.

Abstract
In this chapter, we describe the proteomic approach named “Native Chromatin Proteomics” (N-ChroP) that couples a modified Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation (ChIP) protocol with the mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins to study the combinatorial enrichment or exclusion of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) at specific genomic regions, such as promoters or enhancers. We describe the protocol steps from the digestion of chromatin and nucleosome immunoprecipitation to histone digestion and peptide enrichment prior to MS analysis, up to the MS raw data analysis. We also discuss current challenges and offer suggestions based on the direct hands-on experience acquired during the method setup.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
