Figure 1. Nkx2-5 deficiency increases transcription from regions downstream of transcription termination sites.

(A) Co-occupancies of each pair of factors and histone modifications are shown. White indicates a high correlation, and red indicates a low correlation. (B) Nkx2-5, Tbx5, and Gata4 were immunoprecipitated from nuclear extracts of E12.5 hearts with the indicated antibodies. Co-immunoprecipitates and aliquots (6%) of the input proteins were analyzed by Western blotting with the indicated antibodies. (C) Average ChIP-seq signal profiles over a 3-kb meta-gene, including 3 kb upstream and 3 kb downstream. The lines correspond to genes with High, Middle, Low, and No expression and all RefSeq genes. (D and E) Genome browser representation of strand-specific RNA-seq tag counts from eCMs transfected with the indicated siRNAs (D) and E9.5 Nkx2-5-/- hearts (E). The red boxes indicate read-through RNAs. neg., negative strand; pos., positive strand. The arrow heads show polyadenylation sites.

Figure 1—source data 1. Overlap of peaks between transcription factors and between the results from this study and those from previousely published studies.
(A) Overlap of peaks between Nkx2-5, Tbx5, and Gata4 ChIPseq data in this study. (B) Overlap of Nkx2-5 peaks among E12.5 hearts (this study), HL1 cells with BirA-fused Nkx2-5 (HL1_BirA) (He et al., 2011), and Adult hearts (van den Boogaard et al., 2012). (C) Overlap of Tbx5 between E12.5 hearts (this study) and HL1 cells with BirA-fused Tbx5 (HL1_BirA) (He et al., 2011). (D) Overlap of Gata4 peaks between native ChIPseq in this study and previousely published crosslink ChIPseq (He et al., 2014).

De novo motif analysis by Homer using all peaks in ChIPseq data. Obtained motifs are compared with the most matched known motif, respectively. The motif (T/C)GATTGG found in Gata4 peaks is similar to the motif TGATTG that Gata proteins strongly bind (Merika and Orkin, 1993).
