ATAC-STARR-seq activity in mouse Th17 CD4+ T cells

Multi-enhancer regulatory hubs control Th17 cell identity

A common pooled episomal ATAC-STARR-seq library made from mouse CD4+ T-cell open-chromatin fragments was nucleofected into in vitro polarized Th17 cells. The table reports Th17 RNA-output versus pooled input activity statistics for the 135,897 tested OCRs.

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

Th17 polarization: anti-CD3e 0.25 μg/mL plus anti-CD28 1 μg/mL, anti-IL-4 and anti-IFNγ blocking antibodies at 2 μg/mL each, IL-6 10 ng/mL, and hTGF-β1 0.3 ng/mL for 72 h; post-nucleofection recovery included Th17 cytokines and 2 h anti-CD3/CD28 restimulation.

Episomal ATAC-STARR-seq used a modified ORI-STARR-seq Thy1.1 reporter vector derived from Addgene #99296. Tagmented ATAC fragments from Th0, Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg libraries were pooled at equal mass; the same pooled library was delivered to each subset by nucleofection. RNA output was collected after subset-cytokine recovery and restimulation, and differential activity was tested against pooled plasmid input with CSAW and edgeR.

Column dictionary · 20 definitions
element_id
Unique OCR/peak identifier from Supplement 1 peakID.
assay_condition
The assayed CD4+ T-cell subset for this child experiment.
chromosome
mm10 chromosome name from the source table.
start
0-based, half-open mm10 interval start from the source BED-like coordinates.
end
Half-open mm10 interval end from the source BED-like coordinates.
width_bp
Element width in base pairs, calculated as end minus start.
nearest_gene
Nearest gene annotation supplied by the study.
distance_to_tss_kbp
Signed distance in kilobases from the nearest gene transcription start site, as supplied by the study.
atac_class
Source chromatin-accessibility class for the OCR.
atac_subsets
Source list of CD4+ subsets in which the OCR was accessible; blank where the source is missing.
radial_category
Supplement 2 radial-plot category for an exact coordinate match: Th0, Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg, or shared; blank when not listed.
atac_peak_call
Binary source ATAC-seq peak indicator for the assayed subset.
atac_cpm
Mean normalized ATAC-seq read depth in the assayed subset, in counts per million.
pooled_input_cpm
Normalized read depth in the pooled ATAC-STARR-seq plasmid input library, in counts per million.
astarr_rna_cpm
Normalized ATAC-STARR-seq RNA-output read depth for the assayed subset, in counts per million.
p_value
Source CSAW/edgeR raw p-value for the assayed subset versus pooled input.
fdr
Benjamini–Hochberg adjusted differential-activity value from the source table.
log2_rna_dna
Source representative log2 RNA/input fold change (rep.logFC) for the best test window in the OCR region.
activity_call
Derived call: active when FDR ≤0.05 and log2 RNA/input >0, repressive when FDR ≤0.05 and log2 RNA/input <0, significant_zero_effect when significant with exactly zero effect, otherwise not_significant.
qc_pass
TRUE for rows retained after package-level QC.

Quality control

The authors filtered paired-end output/input fragments to 150–800 bp, required mapping quality ≥20, removed PCR duplicates, counted 50-bp windows at 25-bp steps over the MACS2 union peak set (FDR <0.001), corrected composition bias with CSAW normFactors and 2,500-bp bins, combined significant windows with summit-weighted minimalTests, and controlled multiple testing with Benjamini–Hochberg (activity call FDR ≤0.05). Package QC additionally required valid mm10 chromosome coordinates, start < end, a nonempty unique peak ID, and finite nonnegative CPM/count fields with p-values and FDR in [0,1]. All 135,897 source OCR rows pass these checks and are retained; nonsignificant elements are retained because they are valid assay observations.

Curation notes

This condition corresponds to ENCODE ENCSR576KQE and the study methods’ four biological replicates for Th17. The processed table is a clean condition-specific view of Supplement 1; it preserves all source OCRs and adds the exact-coordinate radial-category join from Supplement 2. Source ATAC-STARR statistics are region-level summaries rather than replicate-level count columns.
