About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0983
Species: human
Position : chrx:30317939-30318739
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: X-linked congenital adrenal hypoplasia
Pubmed ID:  19773398
Enhancer experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay,PCR
Enhancer experiment description: Luciferase reporter gene activity in transiently transfected HEK293 cells. Relative luciferase activity refers to the activity of the firefly reporter gene normalized to Renilla luciferase internal control for transfection efficiency. Firefly reporter constructs contained the DAX1 conserved noncoding enhancer elements upstream of a minimal thymidine kinase promoter driving the firefly reporter.

About Target gene

Target gene : NR0B1(AHC,AHCH,AHX,DAX-1,DAX1,DSS,GTD,HHG,NROB1,SRXY2)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: Luciferase Reporter Assay,PCR
Target gene experiment description: Our results therefore strongly suggest the existence of an SF-1 binding site 4kb upstream of NR0B1 that acts as an enhancer of DAX1 expression.

About TF

TF name : NR5A1(AD4BP,ELP,FTZ1,FTZF1,POF7,SF-1,SF1,SPGF8,SRXX4,SRXY3,hSF-1)
TF experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay
TF experiment description: Luciferase reporter gene activity in transiently transfected HEK293 cells. Relative luciferase activity refers to the activity of the firefly reporter gene normalized to Renilla luciferase internal control for transfection efficiency. The mutant CNE is unresponsive to the transcription enhancement seen in the presence of cotransfected SF-1.

About Function

Enhancer function : A reporter construct lacking this Enhancer element upstream of NR0B1 was unresponsive to SF-1 transcriptional activation.
Enhancer function experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay
Enhancer function
experiment description:
SF-1 acted as an activator on the wild-type construct, whereas the mutant construct,lacking the SF-1 consensus binding site, showed no response to SF-1.
