About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0937
Species: human
Position : chr17:26829229-26831311
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
Pubmed ID:  23307821
Enhancer experiment: ChIP,PCR,Luciferase Reporter Assay,EMSA
Enhancer experiment description: To examine in detail the potential binding of YY1 to Nkx2.5 enhancer, we performed an electromobility shift assay (EMSA) using the 2.1 kb cardiac enhancer located within -9435 and -7353 bases upstream from the murine NKX2.5 transcriptional start site.Binding of site #1 to YY1 was further confirmed using a DNA supershift assay (Figure 2C). To corroborate these in vitro data with their binding to the Nkx2.5 cardiac enhancer in vivo , we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and PCR analysis using anti-YY1 antibodies on day 6 differentiated NK ESCs (Figure 2D), FACS-purified eGFP+ CPCs and eGFP- cells from day 6 differentiated NK ESCs (Figure 2E), and from embryonic day 9.5 hearts and body.

About TF

TF name : Yy1(DELTA,GADEVS,INO80S,NF-E1,UCRBP,YIN-YANG-1)
TF experiment: ChIP,Luciferase Reporter Assay,EMSA
TF experiment description: YY1 regulates Nkx2.5 expression via a 2.1 kb cardiac-specific enhancer as demonstrated by in vitro luciferase-based assays and in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and genome-wide sequencing analysis.To examine in detail the potential binding of YY1 to Nkx2.5 enhancer, we performed an electromobility shift assay (EMSA) using the 2.1 kb cardiac enhancer located within -9435 and -7353 bases upstream from the murine NKX2.5 transcriptional start site.
