The human serine protease inhibitor (serpin) gene cluster at 14q32.1 contains a number of genes that are specifically expressed in hepatic cells. Cell-specific enhancers have been identified in several of these genes, but elements involved in locus-wide gene and chromatin control have yet to be defined. To identify regulatory elements in this region, we prepared a series of mutant chromosomal alleles by homologous recombination and transferred the specifically modified human chromosomes to hepatic cells for functional tests. We report that deletion of an 8-kb DNA segment upstream of the human alpha1-antitrypsin gene yields a mutant serpin allele that fails to be activated in hepatic cells. Within this region, a 2.3-kb DNA segment between kb -8.1 and -5.8 contains a previously unrecognized control region that is required not only for serpin gene activation but also for chromatin remodeling of the entire locus. 相似文献

Enhancers are critical cis-regulatory elements that regulate spatiotemporal gene expression and control cell fates. However, the identification of enhancers in native cellular contexts still remains a challenge. Here, we develop an inducible CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) system by transgenic expression of doxycycline (Dox)-inducible dCas9-VPR in mouse embryonic stem cells (iVPR ESC). With this line, a simple introduction of specific guide RNAs targeting promoters or enhancers allows us to realize the effect of CRISPRa in an inducible, reversible, and Dox concentration-dependent manner. Taking advantage of this system, we induce tiled CRISPRa across genomic regions (105 kilobases) surrounding T (Brachyury), one of the key mesodermal development regulator genes. Moreover, we identify several CRISPRa-responsive elements with chromatin features of putative enhancers, including a region the homologous sequence in which humans harbors a body height risk variant. Genetic deletion of this region in ESC does affect subsequent T gene activation and osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, our inducible CRISPRa ESC line provides a convenient platform for high-throughput screens of putative enhancers. 相似文献
