RNA-seq profiling of mouse embryonic fibroblasts from Kat6a knockout and wildtype mice
Acetylation of histones by lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) is essential for transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The MYST family of KATs (KAT5-8) includes the oncogenes KAT6A (MOZ) and KAT6B (MORF/QKF). KAT6A has key roles in promoting cell proliferation through transcriptional activation of negative regulators of the Cdkn2a locus, which encode the tumor suppressors INK4A and ARF. To examine the loss of KAT6A function, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were isolated from E13.5 Kat6a+/+ and Kat6a–/– embryos and RNA-seq profiling was performed. Overall design: Two biological replicates of wildtype MEFs and three biological replicates of Kat6a knock-out MEFs were prepared.
