With <2% of the human genome coding for proteins, a major challenge is to
interpret the function of the noncoding DNA. Millions of regulatory sequences
have been predicted in the human genome through analysis of DNA methylation,
chromatin modification, hypersensitivity to nucleases, and transcription factor
binding, but few have been shown to regulate transcription in their native
contexts. We have developed a high-throughput CRISPR/Cas9-based genome-editing
strategy and used it to interrogate 174 candidate regulatory sequences within the
1-Mbp POU5F1 locus in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We identified two
classical regulatory elements, including a promoter and a proximal enhancer, that
are essential for POU5F1 transcription in hESCs. Unexpectedly, we also discovered
a new class of enhancers that contribute to POU5F1 transcription in an unusual
way: Disruption of such sequences led to a temporary loss of POU5F1 transcription
that is fully restored after a few rounds of cell division. These results
demonstrate the utility of high-throughput screening for functional
characterization of noncoding DNA and reveal a previously unrecognized layer of
gene regulation in human cells.
