Figure Lengend Snippet: Profile of EF-bound chromatin regions and its association with immediate response genes. A , UMAP plots summarizing the results of a genome-wide analysis of EF-bound chromatin regions with CUT&RUN. Each point indicates one peak. A total of 12,370 consensus EF binding peaks were identified, supported by replicates in either parental A673 or A2.2 cells. JASPAR2020 45 human core transcription factor binding motif matches were counted for every peak and the Manhattan metric was used to define peak-to-peak distances. Clustering was done with the Louvain method 75 and eight distinct EF-binding peak clusters were identified. B , For each peak cluster, the total number of peaks, their overlap with promoters or intergenic regions, number of matches to the EF binding motif (matrix profile MA0149.1), width, and CUT&RUN signal intensity (MACS2 reported peak signal rescaled to [0, 100] per sample, replicates averaged were summarized (median and interquartile range shown as points and ranges). C , Transcription factor binding motif match enrichments were calculated for every peak cluster, displaying the top five motifs. Motifs were filtered (one-sided Fisher’s exact test; FDR < 0.01, lower bound of 95% confidence interval of log 2 odds ratio > 2) and ranked by the log 2 odds ratio. D , Density contour plots overlaid on the UMAP plot from panel ( A ), indicating association of peaks with genes responsive to EF degradation. Every peak was linked to its closest response gene (out of the 810 differentially expressed SLAM-seq genes, cp. ) within 150kb distance. E , Cluster-specific enrichments were calculated for each EF-dependent gene cluster (G1-G5) and each EF-binding peak cluster (P1-P8) using two-sided Fisher’s exact test. Circle size and color indicate the FDR and odds ratio, respectively. Significant associations (FDR < 0.05) are highlighted with a solid border.
Article Snippet: For nucleofection, 1 million low-passage A673 cells were resuspended in nucleofector solution (Cell Line NucleofectorTM Kit V, Cat# VCA-1003) together with 2 µg of either sense or anti-sense ssDNA and 2 µL of 10.8 µM Alt-R Cas9 Electroporation Enhancer (IDT, Cat# 1075916).
