The invention discloses an in-vivo
protein-
DNA interaction
analysis method based on methylated
DNA immunoprecipitation, and belongs to the technical field of
molecular biology. According to the method, an instantaneous
protein binding event is recorded as stable 6mA, MeIP captures interaction which cannot be detected by
ChIP, and meanwhile, the sequence background limitation of DamID is avoided. The compatibility with qPCR and sequencing enables the experiment scale to be flexibly adjusted, and the simple implementation of the method enables the method to be very suitable for researching related proteins interacting with
chromatin in organisms lacking endogenous
DNA methylation. The invention also discloses the transient but critical localization of a
kinase at the
centromere, and emphasizes the necessity of capturing a dynamic
chromatin event for understanding
genome regulation. The MeIP technology can be applied to a
mammalian cell system, and a powerful tool is provided for researching instantaneous
chromatin regulation events in higher eukaryotes.
