Fig. 4. Oct3/4 is required to engage PRC1 and PRC2 at target gene promoters.
(A) Changes in expression levels for the selected Ring1B target genes
after tetracycline treatment of ZHBTc4 ES cells were determined as described
in Fig. 1E. (B) ChIP
analysis showing binding of Ring1B and Eed and levels of H3K4me3 at the
promoter regions of the selected target genes after tetracycline treatment of
ZHBTc4 ES cells. The relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA is depicted as
a percentage of input. Error bars represent s.d. determined from at least
three independent experiments. (C) ChIP-on-chip analysis showing the
average Ring1B binding to the promoter regions (from -8 kb to +2 kb relative
to the transcription start sites) of the target genes before and after
conditional deletion of Oct3/4. (D) ChIP analysis showing
binding of Oct3/4 at the promoter regions of the selected target genes after
OHT treatment of
Ring1A-/-;Ring1Bfl/fl;Rosa26::CreERT2
ES cells. The relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA is depicted as a
percentage of input. Error bars represent s.d. determined from at least three
independent experiments.
