Occupancy by key transcription factors is a more accurate predictor of enhancer activity than histone modifications or chromatin accessibility
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Regulated gene expression controls organismal development, and variation in regulatory patterns has been implicated in complex traits. Thus accurate prediction of enhancers is important for further understanding of these processes. Genome-wide measurement of epigenetic features, such as histone modifications and occupancy by transcription factors, is improving enhancer predictions, but the contribution of these features to prediction accuracy is not known. Given the importance of the hematopoietic transcription factor TAL1 for erythroid gene activation, we predicted candidate enhancers based on genomic occupancy by TAL1 and measured their activity. Contributions of multiple features to enhancer prediction were evaluated based on the results of these and other studies. RESULTS: TAL1-bound DNA segments were active enhancers at a high rate both in transient transfections of cultured cells (39 of 79, or 56%) and transgenic mice (43 of 66, or 65%). The level of binding signal for TAL1 or GATA1 did not help distinguish TAL1-bound DNA segments as active versus inactive enhancers, nor did the density of regulation-related histone modifications. A meta-analysis of results from this and other studies (273 tested predicted enhancers) showed that the presence of TAL1, GATA1, EP300, SMAD1, H3K4 methylation, H3K27ac, and CAGE tags at DNase hypersensitive sites gave the most accurate predictors of enhancer activity, with a success rate over 80% and a median threefold increase in activity. Chromatin accessibility assays and the histone modifications H3K4me1 and H3K27ac were sensitive for finding enhancers, but they have high false positive rates unless transcription factor occupancy is also included. CONCLUSIONS: Occupancy by key transcription factors such as TAL1, GATA1, SMAD1, and EP300, along with evidence of transcription, improves the accuracy of enhancer predictions based on epigenetic features.

The observation that p300 catalytic activity does not contribute to destabilization is inconsistent with a model by which histone acetylation reduces nucleosome-DNA affinity to facilitate TF binding.

The Background describes TF-bound enhancers as flanked by nucleosomes bearing H3K27ac, and the Results and Discussion compare TF occupancy and histone marks as predictors of enhancer activity. No passage found addresses the cited model that acetylation reduces nucleosome–DNA affinity to facilitate TF binding; searches for nucleosome affinity, acetylation-mediated binding, and p300 catalytic activity did not resolve it.

“For instance, the presence of H3K4me1 with little or no trimethylation (H3K4me3) predicted enhancers with good accuracy [20,21], enrichment by H3K27ac separated active enhancers from poised and inactive enhancers [18,22], and the presence of EP300 identified heart enhancers with high accuracy (75%) [8].”

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.
