About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_250
Enhancer symbol: NgR13' Enhancer
Species: Human
Position : chr22:20224442-20228467
Biosample name: NT2/D1
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
DO: --
Mesh: --
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  27602360
Enhancer experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay,PCR
Enhancer experiment description: The presence of overlapping H3K4me1, H3K9ac, and DNase I hypersensitivity peaks suggests the presence of an enhancer in the NgR1 3 ′ region. To investigate if this region has potential enhancer activity, chr22: 20224442–20228467 was PCR amplified and cloned into a luciferase reporter gene. Substantial increases in luciferase activity were observed for both constructs in the presence of the sodium channel blocker TTX and the NMDA receptor antagonist D-AP5, which blocks neuronal activity ( fig. 4 b).

About TF

TF name : MYBL2(B-MYB,BMYB)
TF experiment: EMSA
TF experiment description: To examine if the MYB transcription factor family binds to the region with the schizophrenia risk rs701428-A allele,we performed an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The labeled schizophrenia risk rs701428-A allele probe, but not the labeled reference-G allele probe, formed a binding complex with c-MYB, MYBL1, and MYBL2 ( fig. 5 a, arrow). Furthermore, MYBL2 binding to the labeled rs701428-A allele probe was diminished in the presence of a 200-fold excess of unlabeled rs701428-A allele probe but not unlabeled reference-G allele probe ( fig. 5 b, arrow).

About Function

Enhancer function : The NgR1 3' region, which contains rs701428, is a neuronal activity-dependent enhancer, and that the minor A allele of rs701428 is susceptible to regulation of enhancer activity by MYBL2.
Enhancer function experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay,PCR
Enhancer function
experiment description:
The NgR1 3 ′ Enhancer is downregulated by neuronal activation induced by KCl, and enhanced by blockade of neuronal activation by TTX and D-AP5.
