ParBF DNA binding profiles over various supercoiling level and on linear DNA

We report the genome-wide analysis from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA (ChIP-sequencing) of the DNA binding pattern of ParBF (SopB) of plasmid F. This study, performed in E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium, investigates the impact of DNA supercoiling on ParBF DNA binding profiles in vivo. We found that variation in DNA supercoiling does not significantly affect the ParB DNA binding profiles even on linear DNA. Chromatin immunoprecipitation DNA-sequencing for ParB of plasmid F (ParBF) in bacterial strains exhibiting various DNA supercoiling level, and on linearized plasmid F at several positions relative to the centromere parSF. Biological replicates are labelled IP1 and IP2. Anti ParBF antibody is affinity purified before used.
