Figure Lengend Snippet: ZSCAN4 binds to telomeres, leading to increased histone H3 acetylation. The “% Input” values represent the enrichment of ZSCAN4, Alu, or histone acetylation on a specific region from each sample: without (Dox−) or with ZSCAN4 induction (Dox+): ( A ) ZSCAN4 interaction with the telomeres was assessed by ZSCAN4-ChIP, followed by telomere qPCR and ( B ) Alu qPCR as control. ( C ) The effect of ZSCAN4 induction for 48 h on telomere-histone H3 acetylation was assessed by ChIP using H3K14ac or H3K18ac antibodies, followed by telomere qPCR. ( D ) Alu repeats were used as controls. Data are shown as mean ± S.E.M. * p < 0.05. **** p < 0.0001. ns—not significant.
