Chromatin accessibility changes caused by PHF6 knockout in THP1 human AML cell line
PHF6 is a transcriptional regulator mutated in 3-5% of acute myeloid leukemia. To understand how PHF6 and its functional partner PHIP interact with each other on chromatin, we performed ChIP-Seq for PHF6 (in the presence and absence of PHIP), and for PHIP. We observd that PHF6 and PHIP peaks overlap on chromatin, and PHF6 requires PHIP for its chromatin occupancy. ATAC-Seq and H3K27ac ChIP-Seq showed that PHF6 and PHIP occupy open and active regions of the genome. Overall design: ATAC-Seq of wildtype and PHF6 knockout clones in human THP1 cell line
