About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_399
Enhancer symbol:
Species: Human
Position : chr11:5264845-5266345
Biosample name: K-562
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
DO: --
Mesh: --
Distance from TSS: >2kb
Pubmed ID:  17283048
Enhancer experiment: FISH,Transfection
Enhancer experiment description: Minichromosomes, maintained at stable, moderate copy num_x0002_bers in K562 cells, contained the strong HS2 enhancer of the -globin LCR and the ε-globin gene in the form of a 5.2-kb minilocus in which the enhancer and gene reside about 2.5 kb apart.

About Target gene

Target gene : HBE1(HBE)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: ChIP,PCR,FISH
Target gene experiment description: In K562 cells, three copies of chromosome 11, which is the loca_x0002_tion of the _x0002_-globin locus, were detected in most nuclei by hybridizing a DNA probe corresponding to the centromeric _x0008_-satellite repeat region. RNA FISH performed on the same slides revealed that only two chromosomes actively transcribe ε-globin.

About TF

TF name : NFE2(NF-E2,p45)
TF experiment: ChIP
TF experiment description: Chromatin was prepared from K562 cells carrying NF-E2 mutant minichromosomes, and ChIP was car_x0002_ried out as described for panel B.Within HS2, Pol II was maximal at the core NF-E2 sites, where it is recruited by transcription activa_x0002_tors, but levels above background were detected 5_x0006_ of the core and between HS2 and ε-globin. When the NF-E2 motifs in HS2 were eliminated, Pol II was almost completely lost from the gene, consistent with the loss of HS2 enhancer activity and loss of gene transcription.

About Function

Enhancer function : ε-Globin Intergenic Transcription and Histone Acetylation Dependent on an Enhancer.
Enhancer function experiment: FISH,ChIP,PCR
Enhancer function
experiment description:
To ascertain whether this is the case,we employed DNA/RNA FISH.Here, we studied the establishment and function of histone acetylation and transcription in noncoding sequences by using a model locus linking the ε-globin HS2 enhancer and the embryonic ε-globin gene in chromatin. An intact HS2 enhancer that recruits RNA Pol II is required for intergenic transcription and histone H3 acetylation and K4 methylation between the enhancer and target gene.
