Abstract

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a widely used technique which can determine the in vivo association of a specific protein on a particular DNA locus in the genome. In this method cross-linked chromatin is sheared and immunoprecipitated with antibodies raised against a target protein of interest. The end result of this process is the enrichment of DNA fragments associated with the desired protein. Thus, interactions between proteins and genomic loci in cellular context can be determined by this technique. Here, we are describing a ChIP protocol that is optimized for Candida albicans. The protocol requires 4–5 days for completion of the assay and has been used to produce robust ChIP results for diverse proteins in this organism and its related species including Candida dubliniensis and Candida tropicalis.
