From: The male germ cell gene regulator CTCFL is functionally different from CTCF and binds CTCF-like consensus sites in a nucleosome composition-dependent manner

Figure 4

Regulation of testis-specific genes by CTCFL. A Heatmap representation of microarray data. We compared five samples from heterozygous and three samples from homozygous Ctcfl knockout mice. Depicted are the top 27 deregulated genes, where the log2-transformed fold change compared to the average expression in heterozygous testis is shown. B Expression analyses in Ctcfl mutant testes. Real-time RTPCR expression analyses on testis RNA from Ctcfl mutant mice relative to wild type using Ccna1 as reference. Genes were examined in 90-day-old testes. C Reduced PRSS50 expression in Ctcfl mutant testis. Immunofluorescence analysis of testis sections from heterozygous (del/+) and homozygous (del/del) Ctcfl knockout mice, using antibodies against PRSS50.
