Figure Lengend Snippet: a, Volcano plot depicting down-regulated (blue) and up-regulated (red) genes identified by ATAC-seq in ZCCHC4 KO cells compared with WT cells. b, Accessible chromatin profiling of HeLa WT and ZCCHC4 KO cells by ATAC-Seq. Peak distributions are presented as a profile plot (upper panel) and heatmap (low panel) over ± 3 kb centered on the TSSs. c, Western blot of CDKN1A in HeLa WT and ZCCHC4 KO cells. GAPDH was used as a loading control. d, WT and ZCCHC4 knockout cells were subjected to a double thymidine block to arrest cells at the G1/S checkpoint (G1/S). Cells were released from the block for either 4 or 8h and immunoblotted with the cyclinB1 antibodies to determine the expression of cyclin proteins. Async, asynchronous cells. GAPDH was used as a loading control. Blots shown are representative of three independent experiments. e, Representative images (left) and quantification (right) of cell cycle progression of ZCCHC4 KO versus WT HeLa cells. f, Propidium iodide staining detected by flow cytometry showing the distribution of each cell cycle stage (G1, S, and G2/M phase) after ZCCHC4 knockout at 0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 22h after cell synchronization and unsynchronized cells. The flow cytometry profiles (left) and quantitative statistical curves (right) are presented. Note: e, Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t tests. Data were presented as mean ± SD (n=3). * P <0.05, ns: not significant.
