AAVS1-integrated promoter activity and noise MPRA in K562

Systematic interrogation of human promoters

A single library of 15,753 fully designed 200-mer oligos representing native promoter/PIC regions and synthetic core-promoter and transcription-factor configurations was integrated into the AAVS1 safe-harbor locus of K562 cells. Single-copy integrants were sorted into 16 eGFP/mCherry expression bins, and oligo barcode sequencing was used to estimate promoter activity and cell-to-cell noise.

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

The assay used a dual-fluorophore pZDonor reporter with the tested sequence driving eGFP and a constitutive EF1alpha-mCherry cassette for normalization. A ZFN-mediated double-strand break and homologous recombination targeted the library to the AAVS1 locus in a modified K562 line with two AAVS1 copies; an mCherry gate selected single-copy integrants. After growth to clear nonintegrated plasmid, cells were FACS-sorted into 16 eGFP/mCherry bins, and an 11-mer oligo barcode plus Illumina sequencing identified the distribution of each oligo across bins.

Quality control

The authors normalized reads from each FACS bin to the bin fraction, zeroed bins below 1/(16 x 10) = 0.625%, smoothed bin values with MATLAB smooth() using a three-bin span, detected the dominant peak spanning at least three adjacent bins, and treated smaller peaks as technical noise. Oligos with fewer than 100 reads were assigned NaN and excluded from the published measurements. Package QC retained 14,332 of 15,753 GEO oligo rows: Total_reads_bins had to be at least 100, all four published score fields (Weighted_Avg, CV, Std_log10, and Mean_log10) had to be finite, and the oligo sequence had to be a valid 164-nt A/C/G/T/N sequence. This excluded 1,373 low-read rows and 48 rows with invalid or unavailable scores. The 326 finite negative values in the published CV column were retained unchanged as source values; they are flagged in agent_comments because the paper describes the noise metric as CV^2.

Curation notes

This is one targeted-integration/FACS-binning MPRA experiment with a mixed library: native characterized promoter tiles, PIC ChIP-exo sequences, native human core promoters, synthetic core-element configurations and distance shifts, TF binding-site activity, and TF site multiplicity. The package therefore uses one table with standardized columns and semicolon-joins distinct supplemental annotations when the source repeats an oligo index for identical sequences or shared controls (40 oligo indices have multiple source annotation rows). The GEO processed matrix contains 15,753 unique oligo indices; 14,332 pass the package QC. The source reports 326 finite negative values in its CV column even though the methods describe a squared coefficient of variation; these values were preserved rather than reinterpreted. The GEO platform labels the library as synthetic construct (taxid 32630), but the biological assay was performed in human K562 cells, resolved to Cellosaurus CVCL:0004. The reference build for the native/PIC genomic annotations is hg19; the synthetic designs have no single genomic region, so region_of_interest is null. Raw sequencing reads were intentionally not included.
