Abstract
ChIP-seq is widely used for mapping the transcription factor (TF) binding sites throughout the genome in vivo. In this study, we adopted and modified ChIPmentation, a fast, robust, low-input requirement ChIP-seq method, to a transient expression system using soybean protoplasts to expedite the exploration of TF binding sites. To test this new protocol, we expressed a tagged version of a C2H2-type zinc finger TF, JAGGED1 (GmJAG1), in soybean protoplasts and successfully identified its binding sites in the soybean genome. Furthermore, valuable genomic features such as a novel GmJAG1-binding motif, and the epigenetic characteristics as well as an enhancer-like function of GmJBSs were also found via coupling ATAC-seq and H3K27me3 ChIP-seq data. The application of the modified ChIPmentation protocol in this study using soybean protoplasts provided a new approach for rapid elucidation of how a TF binds to the various target genes in the soybean genome, as illustrated here using GmJAG1.
