About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_131
Enhancer symbol: --
Species: Human
Position : chr12:68553762-68554012
Biosample name: HeLa
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
DO: --
Mesh: --
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  23659698
Enhancer experiment: DNaseI-seq,PCR
Enhancer experiment description: To find the enhancers of the IFNγ gene,different 240-bp fragments of the gene were inserted between the GFP gene and the Alu tandem repeats in the C1-Alu14 plasmid.GFP expression in transfected cells was assessed using fluores_x0002_cence microscopy.We found that five different 240-bp fragments displayed strong enhancer activity.One enhancer was located in an upstream sequence of the IFNγ gene (−480~−720 bp,FUIFN3F3R);two enhancers (IFN4F4R and IFN6F6R) were located in intron 1;another two enhancers (IFN21F21R and IFN22F22R) were located in a noncoding region downstream of the IFNγ gene. The percentages of the GFP-positive cells for the five enhancers were 6.9%, 2.6%, 6.3%, 7.7%, and 4.9%,respectively.The ratio of the percentage of the GFP-positive cells induced by the inserting fragments compared with that of C1-Alu14 reflects enhancer activity.

About Target gene

Target gene : IFNG(IFG,IFI)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: DNaseI-seq
Target gene experiment description: To determine which fragments of the IFNγ gene activate the GFP reporter gene, the IFNγ gene (4972 bp) and its upstream (720 bp) and downstream (308 bp) sequences were divided into 25 fragments, in which each fragment was 240 bp long.

About Function

Enhancer function : These enhancers may be targets of IFN gene expression regulation.
Enhancer function experiment: PCR,Fuorescence Microscopy
Enhancer function
experiment description:
We found that five different 240-bp fragments (FUIFN3F3R, IFN4F4R, IFN6F6R, IFN21F21R, and IFN22F22R) and two 60-bp core sequences (IFN6-2F2R and IFN21-3-4F3-4R) derived from the IFN_x0001_gene contain Enhancers that can activate the GFP reporter gene. These enhancers may be targets of IFN gene expression regulation.
