About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0104
Species: human
Position : chr3:36999364-37001216
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Lynch syndrome
Pubmed ID:  29898989
Enhancer experiment: ChIP-qPCR,3C,Luciferase Reporter Assay,CRISPR/Cas9
Enhancer experiment description: We provide the first description of an enhancer for the MLH1 gene. This -35kb enhancer was CTCF-bound, and disruption of the consensus binding site within the enhancer significantly impairs MLH1 expression in SW620 colorectal carcinoma cells.

About Target gene

Target gene : MLH1(COCA2,FCC2,HNPCC,HNPCC2,hMLH1),MLH1(COCA2,FCC2,HNPCC,HNPCC2,hMLH1)
Strong evidence: 3C,CRISPR/Cas9
Less strong evidence: ChIP-qPCR,Luciferase Reporter Assay
Target gene experiment description: We deleted a DNA fragment corresponding to the -35kb region from SW620 cells,showed that the -35kb region functions as an MLH1 Enhancer in SW620 colorectal cells.;We deleted a DNA fragment corresponding to the -35kb region from SW620 cells,showed that the -35kb region functions as an MLH1 Enhancer in SW620 colorectal cells.

About TF

TF name : CTCF(MRD21)CTCF(MRD21)
TF experiment: CRISPR/Cas9
TF experiment description: To evaluate the impact on endogenous MLH1 expression, we next deleted a region containing the CTCF binding motif in SW620 and K562 cells using CRISPR-Cas9 (Fig 3A, ?CTCF). Similar to deletion of the entire Enhancer, we noted significant reduction in MLH1 expression in SW620 but not in K562 cells.;To evaluate the impact on endogenous MLH1 expression, we next deleted a region containing the CTCF binding motif in SW620 and K562 cells using CRISPR-Cas9 (Fig 3A, ?CTCF).
