ZFAND3 enhancer saturation-mutagenesis MPRA in MIN6

Integration of multiple epigenomic marks improves prediction of variant impact in saturation mutagenesis reporter assay

A saturation-mutagenized 578-bp human ZFAND3 enhancer library was assayed in MIN6 mouse pancreatic beta cells with three independent plasmid transfections. Variant reporter activity was estimated from matched RNA and DNA tag counts.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

The episomal pGL4-derived enhancer reporter carried the error-prone-PCR-mutagenized human ZFAND3 sequence upstream of a minimal promoter and a random sequence tag in the reporter 3′ UTR. The library was transfected into MIN6 for 24 h; matched DNA/RNA tag counts from three independent transfections were fit with log2(RNA) ~ log2(DNA) + N + offset to estimate each variant coefficient.

Column dictionary · 16 definitions
element_id
Paper Table 1 regulatory element name.
source_element_id
Element label in the authors' MPRA saturation-mutagenesis portal.
variant_id
Stable package identifier combining element, GRCh38 coordinate, reference allele, and alternate allele.
chromosome
GRCh38 chromosome with chr prefix.
position_grch38
1-based GRCh38 position of the substituted nucleotide.
position_in_element
1-based position within the paper's reported target interval.
reference_allele
Reference/template nucleotide in the tested library.
alternate_allele
Single-nucleotide substitution introduced by saturation mutagenesis.
variant_class
Variant class; all retained rows are SNV.
barcode_count
Number of unique random tags associated with the variant.
dna_count
Source count of DNA sequences carrying the variant.
rna_count
Source count of RNA sequences carrying the variant.
log2_variant_effect
Portal-fitted regression coefficient estimating the log2 RNA/DNA reporter effect of the human variant in MIN6 cells.
p_value
P-value for the fitted variant coefficient.
effect_direction
Direction derived from the coefficient sign: up, down, or no_change.
significant_p_lt_1e-5
Boolean indicating whether p_value is below the paper's nominal 1e-5 threshold.

Quality control

The source saturation-mutagenesis analysis used a minimum of 10 associated tags per variant. Package QC retained 1,732 of 1,733 candidate SNVs in the paper's Table 1 interval: GRCh38 SNVs with barcode_count >= 10, positive DNA/RNA counts, and finite coefficient and p-value were retained; one low-tag row plus one-base deletions and out-of-interval records were excluded. The paper/CAGI analysis used p < 1e-5 as the nominal significance threshold, exposed as significant_p_lt_1e-5.

Curation notes

MIN6 is the mouse insulinoma/pancreatic beta-cell line Cellosaurus CVCL:0431, so target_organism follows the assay biosample (Mus musculus); the assayed ZFAND3 insert is human and its coordinates are GRCh38.
