Abstract

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a widely used method to map the position of DNA-binding proteins such as histones and transcription factors (TFs) upon their interaction with particular regions of the genome. To examine the genomic distribution of a TF in specific cell types in response to a change in nitrogen concentration, we developed a micro-ChIP (μChIP) protocol that requires only ~5000 Arabidopsis cells transiently expressing the Arabidopsis TF Basic Leucine Zipper 1 (bZIP1) fused to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) domain that mediates nuclear import in the presence of dexamethasone. The DNA fragments obtained from the immunoprecipitation of bZIP1-DNA complexes were analyzed by next-generation sequencing (ChIP-seq), which helped uncover genome-wide associations between a bZIP1 and its targets in plant cells upon fluctuations in nitrogen availability.
