CRISPRi-validated cis-regulatory element chr14.1904
RGD ID:
38668102
Description:
This genomic region represents a DNase I hypersensitive site (DHS) that was predicted to be an enhancer by the ENCODE (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) project based on various combinations of H3K27 acetylation and binding of p300, GATA1 and RNA polymerase II in K562 erythroleukemia cells. It was validated as a high-confidence cis-regulatory element for the GPR68 (G protein-coupled receptor 68) gene on chromosome 14 based on multiplex CRISPR/Cas9-mediated perturbation in K562 cells. This locus also includes an accessible chromatin subregion that was validated as a silencer based on its ability to repress an origin of replication minimal core promoter by the ATAC-STARR-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing) massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) in GM12878 lymphoblastoid cells.
