About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_003
Enhancer symbol: β-cell specific Enhancer
Species: Mouse
Position : chr3:51508734-51512187
Biosample name: βTC-3,INS-1,αTC1.6,NIH3T3
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Insulin Deficiency
DO: --
Mesh: --
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  18984737
Enhancer experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay
Enhancer experiment description: To directly test whether this region of the Setd7 gene might be regulated in β-cells, a DNA fragment containing this conserved region was placed upstream of the prolactin minimal promoter driving luciferase and used in reporter gene analysis studies.β-cell lines displayed enhancement of luciferase activity with a DNA fragment containing _x0003_6,584 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site. This enhancement was significantly attenuated when a fragment containing _x0003_3,131 bp from the transcriptional start site was used, suggesting the potential for a β-cell specific enhancer located between _x0003_3,131 and _x0003_6,584 bp.

About Target gene

Target gene : Setd7(KMT7,SET7,SET7/9,SET9)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: Luciferase Reporter Assay
Target gene experiment description: β-cell lines displayed enhancement of luciferase activity with a DNA fragment containing _x0003_6,584 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site. This enhancement was significantly attenuated when a fragment containing _x0003_3,131 bp from the transcriptional start site was used, suggesting the potential for a β-cell specific enhancer located between _x0003_3,131 and _x0003_6,584 bp.

About TF

TF name : Pdx1(GSF,IDX-1,IPF1,IUF1,MODY4,PAGEN1,PDX-1,STF-1)
TF experiment: RT-PCR,ChIP,Luciferase Reporter Assay
TF experiment description: To directly test whether this region of the Setd7 gene might be regulated in β-cells, a DNA fragment containing this conserved region was placed upstream of the prolactin minimal promoter driving luciferase and used in reporter gene analysis studies. As shown in Fig. 2B, this fragment displayed relative enhancement of luciferase activity in _x0001_TC3 and INS-1,β-cell lines,but not in NIH3T3 cells. Upon cotransfection with a plasmid encoding Pdx1, this fragment displayed an _x0008_25-fold enhancement in the β-cell lines INS-1 and_x0001_TC3.
