HLA-G locus tiling MPRA in JEG3 cells

A distant trophoblast-specific enhancer controls HLA-G expression at the maternal–fetal interface

A 12,000-oligonucleotide library of partially overlapping 121-bp tiles spanning a 27-kb HLA-G locus was cloned into pGL4 reporter plasmids and tested in JEG3 cells with minimal TATA-box (minP) and strong SV40 (SV40P) promoters. The table contains the published Fig. 1A marker observations, recovered from the source PDF as approximate figure values.

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

Basal / Untreated

Microarray-synthesized 121-bp tiles were coupled to unique DNA tags and cloned into a pGL4 backbone with invariant firefly luciferase and either minP or SV40P. Reporter pools were cotransfected into JEG3 cells with FuGENE 6; DNA and cellular mRNA tags were sequenced in two biological replicate MPRA transfections. Enhancer activity was the tile median cDNA/DNA tag ratio divided by the library-wide median ratio.

Column dictionary · 12 definitions
figure_point_id
Unique row identifier assigned during extraction from Fig. 1A
element_id
Approximate HLA-G tile identifier derived from the plotted hg19 coordinate; original oligo IDs were not deposited
promoter
Reporter promoter indicated by the marker shape: minP or SV40P
marker_shape
Published marker mapping: circle = minP and square = SV40P
tile_coordinate_kb
Approximate tile coordinate read from the Fig. 1A hg19 x-axis in kb
tile_coordinate_hg19_approx_bp
Approximate figure coordinate converted to base pairs
enhancer_activity_fold
Enhancer activity, defined as normalized median cDNA/DNA tag ratio; exact article-text values are used for candidate 1 and other values are approximate vector-figure readings
activity_gt_1_figure_estimate
Whether the displayed activity estimate exceeds 1
candidate_label
Top-ranked candidate label shown in the figure; blank when not labeled
qc_pass
True for points shown under the paper's P < 0.05-in-both-replicates display criterion
source_figure
Published figure source
value_source
Whether the value came from the article text or vector-figure extraction

Quality control

The Fig. 1A caption states that only tiles with P < 0.05 in both biological replicates are shown. The methods additionally define nominal candidates as activity >1 and P < 0.05 in both replicates; because replicate-level counts and P values were not deposited, the processed table retains all 95 plotted marker observations and reports the activity threshold separately rather than reconstructing it.

Curation notes

No tag-level MPRA count matrix, barcode manifest, or original tile identifiers were deposited. The table is a transparent extraction from the vector PDF of Fig. 1A. Candidate 1 uses the explicit article values of 8.4 (minP) and 12.4 (SV40P); the nearby high SV40P-only point is retained as a separate plotted tile. Approximate coordinates are read from the figure x-axis, and the figure's circle/square promoter mapping is preserved. GSE79779 is RNA-seq rather than MPRA and was not packaged as raw MPRA data.
