About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0909
Species: human
Position : chr8:141161900-141175436
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Intellectual disability
Pubmed ID:  24667089
Enhancer experiment: RT-PCR,ChIP,Luciferase Reporter Assay,3C,DNaseI-seq
Enhancer experiment description: Using 3C, we identify mutually exclusive approximately 58 and 500 kb chromatin loops in adult frontal cortex between a novel brain-specific enhancer, marked by H3K4me1 and H3K27ac, with the KCNK9 and PEG13 promoters which we propose regulates brain-specific expression.

About Target gene

Target gene : KCNK9(K2p9.1,KT3.2,TASK-3,TASK3)
Strong evidence: 3C
Less strong evidence: RT-PCR,ChIP
Target gene experiment description: Utilizing allele-specific RT-PCR, bisulphite sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation and chromosome conformation capture (3C) we show the reciprocal expression of the novel, paternally expressed, PEG13 non-coding RNA and maternally expressed KCNK9 genes in brain, and the biallelic expression of flanking transcripts in a range of tissues.

About TF

TF name : CTCF(MRD21)
TF experiment: 3C-qPCR
TF experiment description: 3C-qPCR assays were performed on cerebellar samples and interaction frequencies were determined between a constant HindIII site located within the unmethylated CTCF-cohesin binding site within the KCNK9 promoter and other HindIII sites throughout the locus. We identified strong interactions between the KCNK9 promoter constant fragment with the PEG13-DMR and the CTCF-cohesin site in the enhancer region located within intron 17 of TRAPPC9.
