Pubmed ID:  28335007
Enhancer experiment: ChIP-seq
Enhancer experiment description: On the other hand, the enhancer regions associated with lncRNAs tended to have much higher intensities of H3K27ac marks than the enhancers not associated with lncRNAs (KS test, P-value < 2.2 × 10−16) (Figure ​(Figure2E).2E). The enhancers associated with circadian lncRNAs have even higher levels of H3K27ac marks than those associated with lncRNAs (KS test, P-value = 0.0017). Taken together, there is a strong association between circadian lncRNAs and super-enhancers.

About Target gene

Target gene : Gm40264(lnc-Crot)
Strong evidence: 4C
Less strong evidence: qPCR,RNA-seq,ChIP-seq
Target gene experiment description: The enhancers defined from mouse liver GRO-seq and 5΄ CAGE technology were consistent with H3K27ac marks of enhancer at this lnc-Crot region (Supplementary Figure S3C). Using RACE assay, we obtained the full-length sequence of lnc-Crot (Figure ​(Figure4B).4B). Both BMAL1 and REV-ERBα binding sites were found on the promoter and gene body of lnc-Crot (Figure ​(Figure4B)4B) but not on the promoters of nearby circadian genes including Crot, Tmem243 and Dmtf1 (Supplementary Figure S3D).By qPCR, we showed that Crot and lnc-Crot were co-expressed (r = 0.8) across adult mouse tissues with elevated expression in liver and kidney (Supplementary Figure S3F).4C signals from three biological replicates at each circadian time were highly reproducible judging from their cross-sample correlations between 0.89 and 0.95. About 44% of 4C signals fell within chromosome 5 where lnc-Crot is situated and the signal profile around lnc-Crot region was displayed in Supplementary Figure S5A.

About TF

TF name : Arntl(BMAL1,BMAL1c,JAP3,MOP3,PASD3,TIC,bHLHe5)Nr1d2(RVR,Rev-erb)
TF experiment: ChIP-seq,RNA-seq,Knockout mice
TF experiment description: We defined BMAL1 and REV-ERB binding sites from two sets of BMAL1 ChIP-seq studies and two sets of REV-ERB ChIP-seq data in mouse liver respectively, resulting in 8001 BMAL1and 17545REV-ERB binding sites.Atotal of 259 (43%) circadian lncRNA clusters contain either BMAL1 or REV-ERB binding sites.For each lncRNA cluster, we quantified its expression in the BMAL1 knockout and WT mouse livers at CT0 and CT12 using our RNA-seq data.This suggested that circadian lncRNAs were regulated by these two master circadian TFs in the similar way as circadian protein coding genes.

About Function

Enhancer function : Enhancer-associated circadian lncRNAs mark the genomic loci modulating long-range circadian gene regulation and shed new lights on the evolutionary origin of lncRNAs.
Enhancer function experiment: qPCR,CRISPR/Cas9
Enhancer function
experiment description:
Our result points to a model that the lnc-Crot locus and nearby genes first form a scaffold upon which histone modifications and TF bindings then take place to confer tissue- and time-dependent expression (Figure ​(Figure5G).5G). The circadian lncRNAs that we examined may be a result of circadian transcription at the enhancer regions while the lncRNAs themselves do not influence the circadian gene regulation.
