Vectors for Human LOC114827848

This locus represents a conserved genomic element that can function as an enhancer. The major subregion can activate a Hsp68 promoter coupled to a LacZ reporter gene in embryonic heart of transgenic mice. A subregion was also validated as an active enhancer by the STARR-seq (self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing) massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) in HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells, where it was defined as a group 4 enhancer that depends on the BRD2, P300/CBP, MED14 and CDK7 cofactors, but it has limited or no dependence on the BRD4 bromodomain protein. Another subregion marked by the H3K27ac histone modification was also shown to be an active enhancer by ChIP-STARR-seq in primed human embryonic stem cells. This locus also includes an accessible chromatin subregion that was validated as an enhancer based on its ability to activate an origin of replication minimal core promoter by the ATAC-STARR-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing) MPRA in GM12878 lymphoblastoid cells.
