About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0980
Species: human
Position : chr15:52315678-52316298
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
Pubmed ID:  20942803
Enhancer experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay,PCR
Enhancer experiment description: To address this hypothesis these regions, designated intronic enhancers A and B, respectively, were isolated using PCR and ligated 5? of a heterologous thymidine kinase (TK)-luciferase fusion gene containing TK genomic sequence between ?105 and +51, relative to the transcription start site.Luciferase expression directed by these fusion genes was then analyzed by transient transfection of ?TC-3 cells, an islet beta cell-derived line [31], ?TC-6 cells, an islet alpha cell-derived line [32, 33] and HeLa cells, a cervix-derived cell line.

About Target gene

Target gene : Slc30a8(ZNT8,ZnT-8)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: PCR,Luciferase Reporter Assay
Target gene experiment description: Luciferase expression directed by these fusion genes was then analyzed by transient transfection of ?TC-3 cells, an islet beta cell-derived line [31], ?TC-6 cells, an islet alpha cell-derived line [32, 33] and HeLa cells, a cervix-derived cell line. Figure 2 shows that in ?TC-3 cells, but not ?TC-6 or HeLa cells, intronic enhancer A elevated reporter gene expression beyond that driven by the TK-luciferase fusion gene alone, indicating that this region is an islet beta cell-specific enhancer. In contrast, intronic enhancer B had no effect on fusion gene expression in any of the cell lines.

About TF

TF name : Pbx1(2310056B04Rik,D230003C07Rik,Pbx-1)
TF experiment: ChIP,EMSA
TF experiment description: Gel retardation and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays revealed that the islet-enriched transcription factor Pdx-1 binds Enhancer A in vitro and in situ, respectively.
