    PRO-seq (3′-end) tracks of WT, ΔeNMU, Δe1, Δe2 and eNMU LP cell lines across a ∼1 Mb region around NMU ; insets show the full NMU gene and eNMU loci. Highlighted regions indicate NMU promoter (P) and eNMU (E). Note that at the eNMU locus in LP Clone E5, the prominent PRO-seq signal downstream (to the right) of the Bxb1 LP cassette originates from readthrough transcription driven by the strong EF1ɑ promoter within the selection cassette. However, transcriptional activity of the LP did not exhibit any enhancer function to activate the distal NMU gene. Tracks represent merged biological replicates (n = 2 independent cultures).

(B–D) ChIP-qPCR of TF binding in select mutants: GATA1 (B) and RUNX1 (C) at e1; STAT5 (D) at e1 and e2 (n = 2 independent single cell clones per mutant). Statistical significance assessed using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test vs. WT_eNMU (**, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001).
