a, Differential motif enrichment in
distally located hkCP and dCP-specific enhancers (as
Fig. 5a but
assessing enrichments of the same motif PWMs
exclusively at distal enhancers >500bp away
from the closest TSSs). Key motifs including DRE and
Trl/GAGA are also differentially enriched in distal
hkCP and dCP-specific enhancers (NS: non-significant
[FDR-corrected hypergeometric
P>0.01]; S2 cells: hkCP n=790, dCP
n=3013; OSCs: hkCP n=556, dCP n=2555).
b, Distal hkCP and dCP-specific
enhancers are differentially bound by DREF and
Trl/GAF, respectively. ChIP enrichments of DREF
(left) and Trl/GAF (right) at S2 hkCP and
dCP-specific enhancers that are distal
(>500bp) from the closest TSSs. Equivalent to
Figure 5b,
but considering exclusively TSS-distal enhancers to
exclude potentially confounding effects for
TSS-proximal enhancers for which it is not possible
to discern whether binding occurs due to the
enhancer sequence or core promoter function. The
differential binding between DREF and Trl/GAF to
hkCP and dCP-specific enhancers respectively is also
found in Kc cells, in which the DREF ChIP-seq
experiment had been performed (data not shown).
c, Addition of DRE motifs to dCP
enhancers increases their activity towards hkCP.
Relative luciferase activity values (Firefly/Renilla
[FF/RL]) for 11 dCP enhancers without DRE motifs
(WT, light purple) and with 3 DRE motifs flanking
the enhancers on each side (+DRE, dark purple).
