PHIP occupancy 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), for PHF6R274Q mutant, 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. PHIP ChIP-Seq in wildtype THP1 AML cells
