About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0839
Species: human
Position : chr12:109528035-109532509
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low+High throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
Pubmed ID:  26728555
Enhancer experiment: ChIP-seq,ChIP
Enhancer experiment description: By performing ChIP-seq in different mESC lines and using two different antibodies, we were able to identify 973 high-confidence AFF3-binding sites.AFF3 is also de_x0002_tected in the intergenic regions within the Dlk1-Dio3 locus, which harbors a paternally methylated gDMR/ ICR (Fig. 1A). Two discrete AFF3-binding sites are located 12 kb (distal AFF3 peak) and 10 kb (proximal AFF3 peak)upstream of the promoter region of the maternally ex_x0002_pressed gene Meg3 (Fig. 1B).This AFF3 peak resides within the intergenic DMR (IG-DMR) of the Dlk1-Dio3 cluster and corresponds to the Meg3-proximal enhancer peak located just 2.4 kb from the Meg3-distal gDMR peak (Figs. 1B, 3A). While bisulfite sequencing of ChIP DNA demonstrated that AFF3 is on the inactive allele at the Meg3-distal gDMR,AFF3 is restricted to the unmethylated allele at the Meg3-proximal enhancer (Fig. 3B,C; Supplemental Fig. S4).

About TF

TF name : Aff3(3222402O04Rik,A730046J16,LAF-4,Laf4)
TF experiment: ChIP,ChIP-seq
TF experiment description: This AFF3 peak resides within the intergenic DMR (IG-DMR) of the Dlk1-Dio3 cluster and corresponds to the Meg3-proximal enhancer peak located just 2.4 kb from the Meg3-distal gDMR peak (Figs. 1B, 3A). While bisulfite sequencing of ChIP DNA demonstrated that AFF3 is on the inactive allele at the Meg3-distal gDMR,AFF3 is restricted to the unmethylated allele at the Meg3-proximal enhancer (Fig. 3B,C; Supplemental Fig. S4).Knockdown of AFF3 leads to reduced H3K27ac at the Meg3-proximal enhancer, indicating that AFF3 is required to maintain its active chromatin state (Fig. 3D; Supple_x0002_mental Table 2). Furthermore, the expression levels of Meg3 and the downstream maternally expressed noncod_x0002_ing genes within the Dlk1-Dio3 locus are also reduced in AFF3 knockdown ESCs (Fig. 3E; Supplemental Fig. S5A),suggesting that an activating function of AFF3 might beexerted from the nearby Meg3-proximal enhancer.
