Tcf1 and Tcf4 are dispensable for maintenance of the active chromatin conformation. (A) FAIRE analyses to assess the chromatin conformation at Axin2, T/Bra, Cdx1, Cdx2 and Sp5 in E14 ESCs on Tcf1/4 double knockdown with or without concomitant stimulation by Wnt3a. The relative quantities of DNA recovered by FAIRE were determined using qPCR. Analysis of a control region (ctrl) was included to underscore specificity of the results. The data are shown as percent input. The locations of the regions analysed are shown in Figure 4C. (B) qChIP with antibodies specific for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 to determine association with the promoter regions in Axin2, T/Bra, Cdx1, Cdx2 and Sp5 in E14 ESCs on Tcf1/4 double knockdown or knockdown of β-catenin. The data are shown as the fold enrichment over Gapdh.
