RD-seq repressive-domain screen with the ent1-rps12 reporter

Systematic identification and characterization of repressive domains in Drosophila transcription factors

A pooled library of 209,495 synthetic 150-bp DNA fragments encoding 50-amino-acid tiles from 1,133 Drosophila transcription-related genes was fused to Gal4-DBD and tested in Schneider S2 cells carrying an integrated UAS-EGFP reporter driven by the ent1 enhancer and rps12 core promoter. Two biological replicates were separated into GFP-negative and GFP-positive fractions by FACS three days after transfection and quantified by UMI-aware paired-end sequencing; the table contains the 147 RD regions called in both ent1 replicates.

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

Gal4-DBD candidate-library transfection; FACS separation into GFP-negative and GFP-positive fractions 3 days later

RD-seq is a pooled protein-effector-domain reporter screen adapted from tAD-seq rather than a conventional cis-regulatory-element MPRA. Each 150-bp oligo encoded a Drosophila protein tile, was expressed as a Gal4-DBD fusion, and was tethered to 14 UAS sites in a CRISPR-integrated reporter at chr2L:9094918. GFP-negative and GFP-positive fractions were sequenced after three days; mapped fragments were collapsed by oligo coordinates and 10-bp UMIs, and repression was quantified as enrichment in GFP-negative over GFP-positive coverage.

Quality control

The authors collapsed mapped fragments by oligo coordinates and near-matching UMIs, calculated hypergeometric enrichment and Benjamini-Hochberg FDR, and called RD regions using at least 10 fragments in each GFP fraction, enrichment of at least 1.5-fold, hypergeometric P <= 1e-5 across at least 60 bp, with flanking CDS extension until P > 1e-3. For each reporter, only regions overlapping at least 50% between the two biological replicates were retained. The processed table contains only Dataset EV3 rows with presence.RD.region.ent1=1, giving 147 reproducible ent1 regions; no additional activity threshold was imposed.

Curation notes

This is an MPRA-style repressor-domain screen: it measures trans-acting protein fragments with a Gal4 tethering system and integrated fluorescent reporter, so the table represents functional protein effector domains rather than genomic enhancer alleles. Coordinates are CDS/transcript-relative and the library is not allele-specific. The table was built from the author’s 195-hit union (EV3), retaining the 147 rows marked as reproducible in both ent1 replicates and joining replicate call coverage by FlyBase gene/transcript IDs and coordinate overlap. Two retained EV3 regions (OdsH and wor) have a reported low cov_pos value in at least one summarized edge call; they were retained because the authors’ final reproducibility flag is the authoritative hit/QC result.
