H3K4me3 amplifies transcription at intergenic active regulatory elementsGenes & development · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Tri-methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3) is a deeply conserved and functionally important histone modification enriched at transcriptionally active promoters. H3K4me3 can facilitate RNA polymerase activity in a context-dependent manner. Here, we generated an epigenetic editing tool, dCas9-PRDM9, that efficiently deposits H3K4me3 at specific target loci, and used it to interrogate the genomic and chromatin contexts required for H3K4me3 to facilitate transcription in human cells.
Read the full summary ↓
We found that H3K4me3 deposition is sufficient to increase transcription at active candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs), and that this effect was independent of cCRE identity or distance from gene promoters, unrelated to transcript levels of putative target genes, and dependent on the presence of active chromatin features. We conclude that H3K4me3 is sufficient to instruct RNA polymerase activity but requires pre-existing features of transcriptionally active chromatin. These findings suggest that disease-associated dysfunction in H3K4me3 deposition or removal can disrupt the cell’s transcriptional state.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE290054_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1226113 and SRA study SRP565237. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 28 samples.

How we read this: 14 replicated groups read from 35 sample titles; they account for 28 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
