The BAF complex does not mediate GLI repression (Gli3 null Cut&RUN)

Purpose: This study seeks to determine whether GLI3 is required to recruit the SMARCC1 complex to GLI enhancers in the limb. Methods: To determine if Gli3 is required to recruit SMARCC1 to its anhancers, we performed differential chromatin binding to compare SMARCC1 binding in control and Gli3 mutants. We performed Cut&Run for SMARCC1 binding on individually genotyped E11.5 (40-43s) anterior forelimb pairs from control (Gli3+/+; 3 replicates) and Gli3 mutant (Gli3-/-; 4 replicates) embryos. Results: We found that there is no major difference in SMARCC1 binding in Gli3-mutants compared to controls. Cut&Run on E11.5 (40-43s) control and Gli3-/- anterior forelimb pairs (3-4 replicates per condition).
