About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_320
Enhancer symbol: OCT4 Intronic Enhancer
Species: Human
Position : chr6:31137269-31137697
Biosample name: Embryonic Stem Cell
Experiment class : Low+High throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
DO: --
Mesh: --
Distance from TSS: Intron
Pubmed ID:  29695788
Enhancer experiment: ATAC-seq,Luciferase Reporter Assay,ChIP-seq
Enhancer experiment description: In human pre-implantation blastocyst, however, neither enhancer appears open, whereas two putative enhancers appear downstream of the POU5F1 TSS. Each of these peaks contains a cluster of AP2 sites and a KLF site, indicating that they could be opened by the combinatorial activity of these transcription factors during preimplantation development.

About Target gene

Target gene : POU5F1(OCT3,OCT4,OTF-3,OTF3,OTF4,Oct-3,Oct-4)
Strong evidence: CRISPR/Cas9
Less strong evidence: --
Target gene experiment description: We found normal expression of OCT4 and self-renewal in the primed state, but a dramatic loss of OCT4 expression accompanied by differentiation upon reversion to the naive state. This indicates a potential direct role for TFAP2C in regulating the pluripotency master-regulator OCT4 by binding to a previously unknown enhancer, which in turn is likely to be important for preimplantation OCT4 expression.

About TF

TF name : TFAP2C(AP2-GAMMA,ERF1,TFAP2G,hAP-2g)
TF experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay
TF experiment description: Luciferase activity from a pGL3 construct in which WT or mutant Intron Element 1 had been cloned, normalized to signal from a pGL3 construct with no enhancer. Results are shown from two independent experiment, except for the ΔAP2 sample, for which there are n=3 replicates from two experiments. All signals were first normalized for Renilla signal.

About Function

Enhancer function : TFAP2C functions to maintain pluripotency and repress neuroectodermal differentiation during the transition from primed to naive by facilitating the opening of enhancers proximal to pluripotency factors.
