[Cell Signaling Technology] CUT&RUN
ChIP-seq
: Native Chromatin에서 Protein-DNA complex를 분리하기 위해 Target-specific Primary Antibody와 pAG-MNase를 활용하는 새로운 기술.
* 장점
– Histone, Transcription Factor, Cofactor 분석 가능.
– 실험에 필요한 샘플양이 적음.
– 짧은 실험 기간 (1~2일 소요)
– Target Protein 과 결합된 DNA 만 특이적으로 Fragmentation 하기 때문에 낮은 Background.
– 손상되지 않은 세포나 핵에서 실험을 진행하기 때문에 기존의 ChIP에서 적용할 수 없었던 항체도 효과적으로 적용 가능.

|
Reproducible Results | Spike-in Control DNA to Normalize Signal between Samples | Confidence |
Avoid “Crosslinking” Artifacts | An In vivo Method Performed Using Native Chromatin | Time Savings, Confidence |
CUT & RUN Method Overview
(1) Ab & pAG-MNase binding:
(2) MNase Digestion:
4. Ca2+를 첨가하면 pAG-MNase가 활성화되는데, 이를 통해 Chromatin이 Fragmentation 되고 세포 밖으로 Release.
(3) DNA Purification:
5. DNA Purification Spin Column 이나 Phenol/Chloroform Extraction을 통해 DNA를 정제하고 Ethanol Precipitation을 수행. (정제되고 농축된 DNA는 NG-seq의 qPCR을 통해 Idenfication/Quantification)
