Here we perform a compendium analysis of >200 large sequencing data sets to elucidate the regulatory logic of global gene expression programs in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. We define four major classes of DNA-binding proteins (Core, PRC, MYC and CTCF) based on their target co-occupancy, and discover reciprocal regulation between the MYC and PRC classes for the activity of nearly all genes under the control of the CpG island (CGI)-containing promoters. This CGI-dependent regulatory mode explains the functional segregation between CGI-containing and CGI-less genes during early development. By defining active enhancers based on the co-occupancy of the Core class, we further demonstrate their additive roles in CGI-containing gene expression and cell type-specific roles in CGI-less gene expression. Altogether, our analyses provide novel insights into previously unknown CGI-dependent global gene regulatory modes.Nature communicationsCpG island-mediated global gene regulatory modes in mouse embryonic stem cells.PMC4236720R00GM088384R00 GM088384Lee BKBeck SWoo AJKim JSong JRhee C63falseCpG island-mediated global gene regulatory modes in mouse embryonic stem cells.Both transcriptional and epigenetic regulations are fundamental for the control of eukaryotic gene expression.
