CRE multi-hit sampling MPRA in forskolin-induced and vehicle-treated HEK293T/17 cells

Systematic dissection and optimization of inducible enhancers in human cells using a massively parallel reporter assay

A multi-hit sampling library of randomized synthetic CRE variants was assayed in HEK293T/17 cells in paired forskolin-induced and DMSO vehicle states. Each variant was represented by one reporter tag and measured in two biological transfection replicates per state.

Processed tables are specific to each experiment. Column names, units, measurements, and table structure are not standardized across the database. Check this experiment’s column definitions and quality-control notes before comparing or combining data.

Perturbation & assay details

100 uM forskolin for 5 h (induced) versus DMSO vehicle for 5 h (uninduced)

The library used 142-mer oligonucleotides containing an 87-nt variable enhancer sequence, a 10-nt identifying reporter tag, and invariant cloning sequences. Variants were cloned upstream of a minimal TATA-box promoter and luc2 ORF in a plasmid MPRA vector, transfected into HEK293T/17 cells, and quantified by 36-nt single-end Illumina Tag-Seq of reporter mRNA and plasmid DNA. Multi-hit sampling: approximately 27,000 CRE variants, one tag per variant, assayed in two induced and two uninduced libraries. Sample accessions: GSM792091-GSM792098. The source activity ratios are author-provided normalized mRNA/plasmid tag ratios for induced and uninduced states.

Quality control

The paper required exact tag/construct matching, discarded tags with plasmid counts below 20 in every sequenced plasmid pool, normalized mRNA/plasmid ratios by total plasmid-to-mRNA tag counts, and used permutation tests with 5% FDR for information footprints. Package QC retained 26437 of 26437 rows available in the corresponding author ratio worksheet and excluded 0 rows; the retained rows have finite positive activity ratios. This multi-hit library uses one reporter tag per variant, so no multi-tag minimum was imposed.

Curation notes

The processed activity_ratio columns are taken from the author-provided Supplementary Table ratio worksheets so that the reported plasmid-count filtering and total-count normalization are preserved. Raw DNA/RNA count summaries and tag sequences are joined from the GEO GSE31982 count archive. WT-normalized values use the mean of the deposited wild-type-control rows (synCRE_Promega_* or hINFB1_enhancer_*). CRE is synthetic and has no genomic coordinate; the IFNB variable sequence was derived from NCBI36/hg18, but the paper does not provide an exact coordinate for this 87-nt tested fragment. The single-hit libraries contain induced-state data only; paired inducibility is available in the multi-hit tables.
