Experiment / E2HSZBHOWEpisomal Plasmid MPRA

Promoter-proximal MPRA of p53-bound sequences

p53 regulates enhancer accessibility and activity in response to DNA damage

A 12,000-oligonucleotide episomal reporter library tested 1,200 95-bp variable regions derived from human p53 binding sites, motif-scrambled controls, and random synthetic controls in primary human fetal fibroblasts GM06170. Reporter activity was measured in untreated cells and after 500 nM doxorubicin treatment for 6 h, with two biological replicates per condition.

Perturbation & assay details

Untreated vs 500 nM doxorubicin for 6 h

The library contained 5,700 oligos with endogenous sequences from 570 p53 binding sites, 5,700 matched oligos with scrambled p53 recognition motifs, and 600 oligos representing 60 random sequences. Each of the 1,200 variable regions was represented by ten independent 10-bp barcode oligos. For the promoter-proximal design, the variable sequence was cloned immediately upstream of a minimal promoter-GFP reporter; targeted RNA sequencing of GFP reporter barcodes provided the readout, normalized to the input MPRA vector pool. The GEO table reports the barcode-collapsed variable-region values for two untreated and two doxorubicin-treated samples.

Quality control

The authors retained only sequencing reads whose first 10 bases exactly matched a library tag and whose following 26 bases matched the expected reporter sequence, summed reads across the ten tags for each variable region, normalized expression to the input vector pool, and used DESeq2 for differential expression. Package QC required a 95-nt A/C/G/T sequence, a recognized oligo type, finite normalized-expression/fold-change/p-value fields, an adjusted p-value in [0, 1], and a valid Yes/No significance value. Genomic records were required to have a valid chromosome and a 95-bp reported coordinate span; random synthetic controls were expected to have NA coordinates. All 1,200 of 1,200 GEO records passed and were retained, including non-significant elements.

Curation notes

This is a region-focused enhancer screen rather than an allelic-variant assay. Coordinates are retained as reported by GEO and correspond to hg19; the 95-bp span was checked against the source start/end fields. The sequence field is the variable region only, not the full 150-mer oligo or barcode-containing construct. The table includes the 570 endogenous p53-site sequences, 570 scrambled-motif matched controls, and 60 random synthetic controls, and retains non-significant records for unbiased downstream analysis. GM06170 is a primary human fetal fibroblast culture and is therefore mapped to the fibroblast Cell Ontology term CL:0000057 rather than a Cellosaurus immortalized-cell-line identifier.
