Abstract

Transcription factors that play key roles in regulating embryonic stem (ES) cell state have been identified, but the chromatin regulators that help maintain ES cells are less well understood. A high-throughput shRNA screen was used to identify novel chromatin regulators that influence ES cell state. Loss of histone H3 Lys 9 (H3K9) methyltransferases, particularly SetDB1, had the most profound effects on ES cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled with massively parallel DNA sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and functional analysis revealed that SetDB1 and histone H3K9-methylated nucleosomes occupy and repress genes encoding developmental regulators. These SetDB1-occupied genes are a subset of the “bivalent” genes, which contain nucleosomes with H3K4me3 (H3K4 trimethylation) and H3K27me3 modifications catalyzed by Trithorax and Polycomb group proteins, respectively. These genes are subjected to repression by both Polycomb group proteins and SetDB1, and loss of either regulator can destabilize ES cell state.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
