About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0832
Species: human
Position : chr9:14538685-14540685
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low+High throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Adenoid cystic carcinoma
Pubmed ID:  26829750
Enhancer experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay,RT-PCR,ChIP,ChIP-seq
Enhancer experiment description: Here we identify super-enhancer translocations that drive overexpression of the oncogenic transcription factor MYB as a recurrent theme in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Whole-genome sequencing data and chromatin maps highlight distinct chromosomal rearrangements that juxtapose super-enhancers to the MYB locus. Chromosome conformation capture confirms that the translocated enhancers interact with the MYB promoter.

About Target gene

Target gene : NFIB(CTF,HMGIC/NFIB,MACID,NF-I/B,NF1-B,NFI-B,NFI-RED,NFIB2,NFIB3)
Strong evidence: 3C
Less strong evidence: ChIP,ChIP-seq
Target gene experiment description: To test whether specific enhancers within the translocated super_x0002_enhancers might activate the MYB promoter, we examined their physical proximity to the promoter using chromosome conforma_x0002_tion capture (3C). First, we examined an ACC with a translocation involving MYB and the NFIB locus.

About TF

TF name : TP63 (AIS,B(p51A),B(p51B),EEC3,KET,LMS,NBP,OFC8,RHS,SHFM4,TP53CP,TP53L,TP73L,p40,p51,p53CP,p63,p73H,p73L)
TF experiment: ChIP-seq
TF experiment description: To directly test whether TP63 co-binds with MYB, we mapped binding of this transcription factor by ChIP-seq.Remarkably, we found that 81% of TP63-binding sites in ACC were co-bound by MYB.These data suggest that MYB,TP63 and Notch signaling may coordinately orchestrate the diverse expression programs in ACC.

About Function

Enhancer function : Here we identify the juxtaposition of super-enhancer regions to the MYB locus as the unifying feature of ACC translocations.Detailed genomic and epigenomic analyses of ACCs identify alternate rearrangements that translocate super-enhancers in the NFIB and

To test whether specific enhancers within the translocated super_x0002_enhancers might activate the MYB promoter, we examined their physical proximity to the promoter using chromosome conforma_x0002_tion capture (3C).These data suggest that the translocations reposition super-enhancers that subsequently loop to the MYB promoter and sustain high-level MYB expression.
