About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0750
Species: mouse
Position : chr10:50623698-50625698
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low+High throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Haploinsufficiency
Pubmed ID:  30545847
Enhancer experiment: ChIP-seq,ATAC-seq
Enhancer experiment description: CRISPRa targeting of the Sim1 promoter or its hypothalamusspecific enhancer, which is 270 kilobases away from the gene, in Sim1 haploinsufficient mice increased the expression of the normal copy of Sim1.

About Target gene

Target gene : Sim1(bHLHe14,mSIM1),Sim1(bHLHe14,mSIM1)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: ChIP-seq,PCR,Transgenic mice
Target gene experiment description: We also carried out ChIP-seq using an antibody against S. pyogenes Cas9 in both CRISPRa-promoter and CRISPRa-Enhancer transfected cells and found on-target binding for the promoter and Enhancer,respectively.;We also carried out ChIP-seq using an antibody against S. pyogenes Cas9 in both CRISPRa-promoter and CRISPRa-Enhancer transfected cells and found on-target binding for the promoter and Enhancer,respectively.

About TF

TF name : Sim1(bHLHe14,mSIM1)Sim1(bHLHe14,mSIM1)
TF experiment: CRISPR/Cas9,qPCR
TF experiment description: CRISPRa targeting of the Sim1 promoter or its hypothalamusspecific enhancer, which is 270 kilobases away from the gene, in Sim1 haploinsufficient mice increased the expression of the normal copy of Sim1. This up-regulation was sufficient to rescue the obesity phenotype of Sim1 heterozygous mice and led to significantly reduced food intake and body fat content in thesemice.;CRISPRa targeting of the Sim1 promoter or its hypothalamusspecific enhancer, which is 270 kilobases away from the gene, in Sim1 haploinsufficient mice increased the expression of the normal copy of Sim1.

About Function

Enhancer function : Transgenic-based CRISPRa targeting of the Sim1 promoter or its distant hypothalamic enhancer up-regulated its expression from the endogenous functional allele in a tissue-specific manner, rescuing the obesity phenotype in Sim1 heterozygous mice.
