Genome-wide analysis of GATA1, GATA2, RUNX1, FLI1 and SCL binding in primary human megakaryocytes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We have mapped the binding sites for the five key regulators GATA1, GATA2, RUNX1, FLI1 and TAL1/SCL in primary human megakaryocytes. Statistical analysis identified subsets of enriched as well as depleted combinatorial binding patterns. In particular simultaneous binding by all 5 factors was highly enriched and occurred in the vicinity of many genes known to be involved in blood and megakaryocyte development. Knock down in zebrafish of 8 of these genes with no previously known role in hematopoiesis, revealed all to be essential for thrombocyte and/or erythroid development. Combinatorial analysis of multi-factor ChIP-Seq datasets coupled with a high-throughput in vivo screen therefore offers a powerful strategy to identify novel essential regulators of complex mammalian differentiation processes.
