ABSTRACT
DNA methylation and posttranslational modifications of histones instruct gene expression in eukaryotes. Besides canonical histones, histone variants also play a critical role in transcriptional regulation. One of the best studied histone variants in plants is H2A.Z whose removal from gene bodies correlates with increased transcriptional activity. The eviction of H2A.Z is regulated by environmental cues such as increased ambient temperatures, and current models suggest that H2A.Z functions as a transcriptional buffer preventing environmentally responsive genes from undesired activation. To monitor temperature-dependent H2A.Z dynamics, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of H2A.Z-occupied DNA can be performed. The following protocol describes a quick and easy ChIP approach to study in vivo H2A.Z occupancy.
