Abstract

To identify the compendium of distal regulatory elements that govern myogenic differentiation, we generated chromatin state maps based on histone modifications and recruitment of factors that typify enhancers in myoblasts and myotubes. We found a striking concordance between the locations of these newly defined enhancers, MyoD1-binding events, and noncoding RNA transcripts. These enhancers recruit several sequence-specific transcription factors in a spatially constrained manner around MyoD1-binding sites. Remarkably, MyoD1-null myoblasts show a wholesale loss of recruitment of these factors as well as diminished monomethylation of H3K4 (H3K4me1) and acetylation of H3K27 (H3K27ac) and reduced recruitment of Set7, an H3K4 monomethylase. Surprisingly, we found that H3K4me1, but not H3K27ac, could be restored by re-expression of MyoD1 in MyoD1−/− myoblasts, although re-expression of this factor in MyoD1-null myotubes restored both histone modifications. Our studies identified a role for MyoD1 in condition-specific enhancer assembly through recruitment of transcription factors and histone-modifying enzymes that shape muscle differentiation.

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.
