Keynote: J Proteomics Bioinform
A particular chromosome activity, such as gene transcription, can be defined by the specific epiproteome at the chromosomal location. The epiproteome includes the particular proteins involved in the activity as well as the histone posttranslational modifications at the specific region of the chromosome. Defining different epiproteomes has been limited by the lack of technologies that can comprehensively identify the proteins and histone posttranslational modifications in high resolution at specific genomic sites. Recent advances in targeted chromatin enrichment and proteomics have provided evidence that epiproteomes can be measured with near nucleosomal resolution. In this talk, I will present three technological platforms we have developed for the analysis of site specific epiproteomes.
