The Myc-Associated Zinc Finger Protein (MAZ) controls STAT1-mediated antiviral response by reshaping epigenome [RNA-Seq]

The objectives of this study are to understand the regulatory roles of MAZ in biological processes using the NGS-deriveed ChIP-seq, DNA-MEDIP-seq and RNA-seq data in HAP1 control cells and MAZ knockout cells. Our comparative analysis of these data generated from the HAP1 control and MAZ KO cells shows that MAZ is required for recruiting STAT1 to its target sites by reshaping epigenetic landscape in the human genome, thereby mediating antiviral response cells. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from HAP1 control and MAZ knockout cells treated with or without IFN-g. Differemtiated Gene expression levels between control and MAZ knockout cells were evaluated using DeqSeq2.
