Fig. 3. AJSZ binding properties in open and closed chromatin in HDFs.

Fig. 3

a Chromatin binding properties of AJSZ in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) have not been characterized. b Number of binding sites determined by ChIP-seq for each factor. Peaks were merged from two samples. c Percentage of AJSZ binding sites located in open or closed chromatin. scATAC-seq was used to determine the state (open or closed) of the chromatin. d Top enriched motif in open chromatin bound by AJZ. e Co-occupancy analysis for AJZ at regions of open chromatin. f AJZ binding distribution at annotated regulatory regions in open chromatin. g Top enriched motifs in closed chromatin bound by AJS. h siStat4, 5a, or 6 respectively increase reprogramming efficiency as compared to siControl in iMGT-MEF assay. n = 8 biologically independent experiments for siControl and siStat4, 5a or 6 treated. Student’s t-test: **p < 0.01. Groups were compared using two-tailed unpaired. Data were presented as mean values ± standard deviation. i Representative images for siStat4 and siControl-transfected iMGT-MEFs 3 days post-Dox(MGT) treatment. Scale bars: 50 µm. j Motif analysis at regions of AJS-bound closed chromatin show enrichment for reprogramming TF motifs (i.e., MEF2C, ASCL1, and KLF4). k Schematic summarizing AJSZ binding properties at regions of open and closed chromatin in HDFs.
