a ChIP-qPCR for OCT4, P300 and MED1 at indicated sites (arrowheads) along the Klf4-associated SE in Esrrb−/− and control (f/f) ESCs. Data are expressed as fold enrichment over input and normalised to a flanking control (C) region. Data are represented as means (bar plots) and individual values (dots) of independent experiments (n = 3 for OCT4 and P300; n = 4 for MED1). *Statistically significant difference (Mann–Whitney test, p < 0.05). b Top: ATAC-seq in serum/LIF (ser), MED1 in 2i/LIF (2i) and ESRRB in serum/LIF (ser) (Supplementary Data 1) along with MED1 and H3K27ac in control (serf/f) and Esrrb−/− ESCs grown in serum/LIF (ser−/−) at the Klf4 locus. Y-axis indicates RPKM and starts at 0; bottom: 4C-seq interactions between the Klf4 promoter viewpoint (blue band) and SE in control ESCs grown in 2i/LIF (2if/f) or in serum/LIF (serf/f), and in serum/LIF Esrrb−/− ESCs (ser−/−). Y-axis indicates RPKM and starts at 0. The bottom two tracks show the 4C-seq interaction fold changes (log2) in 2if/f and ser−/− compared to serf/f in bins of 5 kb. Promoter–SE interactions at the ESRRB/MED1 occupied DM regions (yellow bands) are significantly stronger in 2i and weaker in ser−/−. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; DEseq2; (n = 3 independent experiments). c ChIP-qPCR for POL2 at the same sites as in a in Esrrb−/− and Esrrbf/f ESCs. Data are expressed as fold enrichment over input and normalised to control (C) region. Data are represented as means and individual values of independent experiments (n = 4). Statistically significant difference (Mann–Whitney U test, *p < 0.05). d Expression of eRNA at the same sites as in a in Esrrb−/− and Esrrbf/f ESCs. Data are normalised to control (C) region and are represented as means and individual values of biological replicates; (n = 2 for Esrrb−/−; n = 3 for Esrrbf/f). *Statistically significant difference (Mann–Whitney test, p < 0.05). e MED1 and H3K27ac occupancy changes in Esrrb−/− (ser−/−) compared to control (serf/f) ESCs. PCC, Pearson’s correlation coefficient; (n = 2 independent experiments). f ChIP-seq tracks of MED1 and H3K27ac in Esrrb−/− (ser−/−) and control (serf/f) ESCs, as well as ESRRB and ATAC at Lefty1 and Spry4 -associated SEs. Source data are provided as Supplementary Data 10.
