CRISPRi-validated cis-regulatory element chr19.6204
RGD ID:
38670302
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. A subregion was validated as a cis-regulatory element for the UBE2S (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 S) gene on chromosome 19 based on multiplex CRISPR/Cas9-mediated perturbation in K562 cells. Another subregion was validated as an active enhancer by the ChIP-STARR-seq massively parallel reporter assay in naive human embryonic stem cells, where it is marked by the H3K4me1 histone modification.
