We have developed SpyChIP, a method that depends on covalent isopeptide bond formation between two peptides, SpyTag and SpyCatcher, to identify sites of cell type-specific transcription factor occupancy in native physiological contexts without tissue dissociation or nuclei sorting. Using SpyChIP, we characterized the genome-wide binding profiles of the Hox protein Ultrabithorax (Ubx) in two distinct cell types of the Drosophila haltere imaginal disc, revealing extensive cell type-specific Ubx–DNA binding events. The application of cell type-specific covalent bond formation to chromatin immunoprecipitation sets the stage for carrying out many other cell type-specific analyses and genetic manipulations in vivo that were previously impractical. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an important technique for characterizing protein–DNA binding in vivo. One drawback of ChIP-based techniques is the lack of cell type-specificity when profiling complex tissues. To overcome this limitation, we developed SpyChIP to identify cell type-specific transcription factor (TF) binding sites in native physiological contexts without tissue dissociation or nuclei sorting. SpyChIP takes advantage of a specific covalent isopeptide bond that rapidly forms between the 15-amino acid SpyTag and the 17-kDa protein SpyCatcher. In SpyChIP, the target TF is fused with SpyTag by genome engineering, and an epitope tagged SpyCatcher is expressed in cell populations of interest, where it covalently binds to SpyTag-TF. Cell type-specific ChIP is obtained by immunoprecipitating chromatin prepared from whole tissues using antibodies directed against the epitope-tagged SpyCatcher. Using SpyChIP, we identified the genome-wide binding profiles of the Hox protein Ultrabithorax (Ubx) in two distinct cell types of the Drosophila haltere imaginal disc. Our results revealed extensive region-specific Ubx–DNA binding events, highlighting the significance of cell type-specific ChIP and the limitations of whole-tissue ChIP approaches. Analysis of Ubx::SpyChIP results provided insights into the relationship between chromatin accessibility and Ubx–DNA binding, as well as different mechanisms Ubx employs to regulate its downstream cis-regulatory modules. In addition to SpyChIP, we suggest that SpyTag–SpyCatcher technology, as well as other protein pairs that form covalent isopeptide bonds, will facilitate many additional in vivo applications that were previously impractical.
