Figure 7. Endogenous xYAP resides at a novel 5′ regulatory region of pax3.

Figure 7

(A) A highly conserved putative TEAD-binding site (yellow boxes) is present in the 5′ regulatory region of the pax3 gene in 15 different vertebrates. A previously described mouse TEAD-binding site (red box) appears less conserved. (B) Chromatin isolated from 300 wild type stage 14–16 Xenopus laevis embryos was sheared to a size range of 150 to 900 base pairs. (C) Chromatin immunoprecipitations (ChIPs) from 12.5 µg or 25 µg of sheared chromatin immunoprecipitated a band at the expected size for the putative novel TEAD1-binding site region with the hYAP antibody but not with a control IgG antibody. (D) Sequencing of this band from three different clones verified that the genomic region pulled down by the hYAP anitbody contained the novel TEAD-binding site (yellow) when compared to the Xenopus tropicalis genomic sequence.
