<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>To achieve proper spatiotemporal control of gene expression, transcription factors cooperatively assemble onto specific DNA sequences. The ETS domain protein monomer of GABPα and the B-ZIP domain protein dimer of CREB1 cooperatively bind DNA only when the ETS (<sup>C</sup>
/<sub>G</sub>

) and CRE (<bold>GT</bold>
GACGTCAC) motifs overlap precisely, producing the ETS↔CRE motif (<sup>C</sup>
/<sub>G</sub>
CGGAA<bold>GT</bold>
GACGTCAC). We designed a Protein Binding Microarray (PBM) with 60-bp DNAs containing four identical sectors, each with 177,440 features that explore the cooperative interactions between GABPα and CREB1 upon binding the ETS↔CRE motif. The DNA sequences include all 15-mers of the form <sup>C</sup>
/<sub>G</sub>
CGGA—–CG—, the ETS↔CRE motif, and all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and occurrences in the human and mouse genomes. CREB1 enhanced GABPα binding to the canonical ETS↔CRE motif CCGGAAGT two-fold, and up to 23-fold for several SNPs at the beginning and end of the ETS motif, which is suggestive of two separate and distinct allosteric mechanisms of cooperative binding. We show that the ETS-CRE array data can be used to identify regions likely cooperatively bound by GABPα and CREB1 <italic>in vivo</italic>
, and demonstrate their ability to identify human genetic variants that might inhibit cooperative binding.</p>

<abstract><p>To achieve proper spatiotemporal control of gene expression, transcription factors cooperatively assemble onto specific DNA sequences. The ETS domain protein monomer of GABPα and the B-ZIP domain protein dimer of CREB1 cooperatively bind DNA only when the ETS (<sup>C</sup>
/<sub>G</sub>
CGGAA<bold>GT</bold>
) and CRE (<bold>GT</bold>
GACGTCAC) motifs overlap precisely, producing the ETS↔CRE motif (<sup>C</sup>
/<sub>G</sub>
CGGAA<bold>GT</bold>
GACGTCAC). We designed a Protein Binding Microarray (PBM) with 60-bp DNAs containing four identical sectors, each with 177,440 features that explore the cooperative interactions between GABPα and CREB1 upon binding the ETS↔CRE motif. The DNA sequences include all 15-mers of the form <sup>C</sup>
/<sub>G</sub>
CGGA—–CG—, the ETS↔CRE motif, and all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and occurrences in the human and mouse genomes. CREB1 enhanced GABPα binding to the canonical ETS↔CRE motif CCGGAAGT two-fold, and up to 23-fold for several SNPs at the beginning and end of the ETS motif, which is suggestive of two separate and distinct allosteric mechanisms of cooperative binding. We show that the ETS-CRE array data can be used to identify regions likely cooperatively bound by GABPα and CREB1 <italic>in vivo</italic>
, and demonstrate their ability to identify human genetic variants that might inhibit cooperative binding.</p>

Instead, it appears that the cooperative binding of these three proteins is via allosteric changes to the DNA (<xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Panne 2008</xref>

<p>We identified five cell lines from the ENCODE consortium (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.encodeproject.org/">https://www.encodeproject.org/</ext-link>
) with ChIP-seq data available for both GABPα and CREB1 (A549, GM12878, H1hESC, HepG2, and K562). For each cell line, we divided the GABPα ChIP-seq peaks into two groups based on the presence of CREB1 binding: “GABPα +CREB1” (regions bound by both GABPα and CREB1) and “GABPα −CREB1” (GABPα peaks that do not overlap CREB1 binding peaks).</p>
<p>For each of these two groups, we calculated an enrichment score for the ETS consensus motif and each of its 1-bp variations, relative to occurrences in the human genome [build hg19, downloaded from the UCSC genome browser (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/">http://genome.ucsc.edu/</ext-link>

</italic>
and <italic>E<sub>GABPα - CREB1</sub>
</italic>
.</p>
<p>We identified regions of the genome likely to be cooperatively bound by GABPα and CREB1 by scanning for ETS/CRE variants in the “GABPα + CREB1” ChIP peak groups using models derived from our arrays. We created position frequency matrix (PFM) DNA binding models from the ETS-CRE array probe intensities using the SNP portion of the arrays. Briefly, we first identified the sequence with the highest median signal intensity across its 40 probes, <italic>S<sub>max</sub>
</italic>
. All other possible SNPs were then assigned a relative score to <italic>S<sub>max</sub>
</italic>
by dividing their median signal intensity by <italic>S<sub>max</sub>
</italic>
. A PWM was then constructed from these values. For a given position in the PWM, the nucleotide with the highest median intensity was assigned a value of 1. Each of the other nucleotides were then assigned values corresponding to their relative score. This PWM was then converted into a PFM by summing the values at each position, and dividing each value by this sum, such that the values at each position sum to 1.</p>
<p>We created two sets of PFMs: those derived from experiments where both GABPα and CREB1 were present (using signals from the array experiments with relative concentrations of 2.5:2.5, 8:2.5, 8:8, and 30:30) and experiments where only GABPα was present (concentrations 2.5:0, 8:0, 30:0, and 100:0), supplemented with other <italic>in vitro</italic>
–derived PFMs for GABPα and CREB1 obtained from the CisBP database (<xref rid="bib44" ref-type="bibr">Weirauch <italic>et al.</italic>
2014</xref>
). These PFMs were used to scan all sequences in each ChIP peak group using the energy scoring system used by BEEML (<xref rid="bib46" ref-type="bibr">Zhao <italic>et al.</italic>
2009</xref>
). The relative ranking of each sequence was then compared between PFMs derived from arrays with and without CREB1. Sequences assigned a top rank by models derived from the “GABPα and CREB1” arrays, but middle-to-low ranks by models from the “single protein” arrays are likely to be bound cooperatively by both proteins <italic>in vivo</italic>
, according to our <italic>in vitro</italic>
models. We identified such sequences using a false discovery rate (FDR)-based approach. For the peak sequences of each ChIP-seq dataset, we created a matched scrambled sequence set by permuting each sequence while maintaining dinucleotide frequencies. We then scored these scrambled sequences with a given PFM (as described above) and combined these sequences and scores with the "real" ChIP-seq sequences and scores. We sorted the list by PFM score and then calculated the FDR as a function of the PFM score as the fraction of sequences exceeding the given cutoff that are members of the scrambled set.</p>

<p>We designed an Agilent DNA microarray, named the ETS-CRE array, containing four identical sectors, with each sector having 177,440 single-stranded DNA 60-mers containing the ETS↔CRE motif and variants (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>

/<sub>G</sub>
CGGAAGTGACGTCAC</bold>
GACTCAGGTG|GGACACACTTTAACACATGGAGAG-slide). The variants are of three basic categories: variants of the core motif; single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); and genomic occurrences (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
). The core variants include all 15-mers of the form <sup>C</sup>
/CGGA—–CG—(features 1–65,536) and /<sub>G</sub>
CGGA—–CG—(features 65,537–131,072), with the eight "-"s indicating variable positions. The SNP category contains 40 probes each for both 16-mer ETS↔CRE motifs (<sup>C</sup>

<sec id="s9"><title>CREB1 enhances GABPα-GST binding to the ETS-CRE array</title>
<p>We next monitored GABPα-GST binding at three concentrations (2.5 ng, 8 ng, and 30 ng) to the ETS-CRE array in the absence and presence of the CREB1 B-ZIP domain without GST, allowing us to examine GABPα-GST binding without the complication of also monitoring CREB1 binding (as would occur if CREB1 was also GST-tagged). In the presence of CREB1, we observed increased GABPα-GST binding, with a qualitatively similar overall pattern to the binding of GABPα-GST alone (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1C</xref>
). To exclude potential biases between the sectors, we also normalized the fluorescence intensities based on the probes that contain only GABPα sites, not CREB1 sites. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1D</xref>
shows the normalized fluorescence intensities of GABPα-GST for all probes with or without CREB1. There is an increase in fluorescence intensity for many probes when CREB1 is added, with no dramatic decrease in binding to any probes (<italic>i.e.</italic>
, there are very few points in the upper left quadrant), suggesting that CREB1 only enhances the binding of GABPα-GST.</p>
<p>It is important to evaluate whether the binding of GABPα-GST is saturating to allow for an accurate evaluation of the effect of CREB1 on GABPα-GST binding. Western blots of the IVT reaction indicate a correspondence between the concentration of input plasmid to GABPα protein concentration, which is saturated by 100 ng (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/content/suppl/2015/07/16/g3.115.020248.DC1/FigureS2.pdf">Figure S2</ext-link>
). Moreover, the concentration of GABPα in GABPα+CREB1 mixtures is lower than the observed concentration of GABPα only, indicating that the increase of GABPα binding in GABPα+CREB1 mixtures in the array is not due to the increased GABPα concentration (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/content/suppl/2015/07/16/g3.115.020248.DC1/FigureS2.pdf">Figure S2</ext-link>
). On the same slide, we added an IVT primed with a low concentration of GABPα-GST plasmid (2.5 ng) with or without CREB1 (2.5 ng and 8 ng) and a sector with an IVT primed with 12-times more GABPα-GST plasmid (30 ng). <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/content/suppl/2015/07/16/g3.115.020248.DC1/FigureS3.pdf">Figure S3</ext-link>
shows the fluorescence intensities for the 177,440 features in four sectors. At both concentrations, CREB1 increased GABPα-GST binding, but this enhancement is less than that observed for GABPα-GST binding at high concentrations (30 ng), indicating that GABPα-GST binding at 2.5 ng to the canonical motif is not saturating.</p>

SNPs localized within the CREB1 motif caused only a slight decrease in CREB1-dependent GABPα-GST binding, suggesting that these SNPs instead act by decreasing CREB1 binding, as expected. Similar results were obtained at two other GABPα-GST and CREB1 concentrations (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/content/suppl/2015/07/16/g3.115.020248.DC1/FigureS5.pdf">Figure S5</ext-link>

<sec id="s12"><title>Comparison of the ETS-CRE custom array to universal PBMs</title>

<p>To examine if the differences in GABPα-GST binding to the ETS motif and SNPs observed <italic>in vitro</italic>
are relevant biologically, we next asked if the sequences cooperatively bound by GABPα and CREB1 on the ETS-CRE arrays are also colocalized <italic>in vivo</italic>
. To this end, we obtained ENCODE ChIP-seq data from five cell lines where the genomic localization of both GABPα and CREB1 were assayed and computed the occurrence and enrichment of the ETS 8-mer motif (CCGGAAGT, see <italic>Materials and Methods</italic>
). For example A549 cells contain 10,940 GABPα ChIP-seq peaks representing 0.2% of the human genome. The genome has 8608 occurrences of the canonical ETS 8-mer, and 1645 (19.1%) of motif occurrences are present in GABPα binding peaks, resulting in a 96-fold enrichment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5A</xref>

). The canonical ETS motif is more enriched than any of its SNP variants. SNPs that alter the CG dinucleotide are nearly 10-fold more abundant in the genome and often occur in GABPα peaks. For example, C<bold>A</bold>
GGAAGT has 88,465 occurrences in the genome and 1406 are bound, even though enrichment is relatively lower at 8.8-fold. Several additional SNPs that are well bound <italic>in vitro</italic>

<p>We next examined if GABPα and CREB1 colocalization preferentially occurs at the same SNPS where CREB1 facilitated GABPα binding <italic>in vitro</italic>
. In regions where GABPα and CREB1 ChIP-seq peaks overlap (which we denote as GABPα+CREB1) in A549 cells, the consensus ETS motif is five-fold more enriched (<italic>P</italic>
< 0.0001, Fisher’s exact test) relative to GABPα peaks where CREB1 is absent (GABPα-CREB1; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5, B–D</xref>
). We also observe enrichment of specific SNPs in GABPα+CREB1 peaks, a pattern similar to what is observed on the ETS-CRE arrays, providing evidence that preferential GABPα binding to these sequences occurs only when CREB1 is colocalized <italic>in vivo</italic>
. For example, CCGGA<bold>C</bold>
GT is the second most enriched SNP sequence in GABPα+CREB1 peaks in A549 cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5D</xref>
, marked with an asterisk), and it is also the most enhanced SNP observed in our <italic>in vitro</italic>
PBM experiments (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5E</xref>
). In h1ESC cells, we observe intermediate levels of enrichment of the ETS motif and SNPs within overlapping GABPα+CREB1 peaks (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/content/suppl/2015/07/16/g3.115.020248.DC1/FigureS8.pdf">Figure S8, A–C</ext-link>
). In other cell types (GM12878, HepG2, and K562 cells), CREB1 contributes relatively little to GABPα binding (∼1.5-fold increase to the consensus motif and SNPs in GABPα+CREB1 peaks relative to GABPα-CREB1 peaks; <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.g3journal.org/content/suppl/2015/07/16/g3.115.020248.DC1/FigureS8.pdf">Figure S8, D–L</ext-link>
), suggesting that CREB1 is not as active in these cell types even though it is bound to DNA. It is likely that additional molecular events need to occur to facilitate cooperative binding between GABPα and CREB1, such as post-translational modifications that are known to be needed for CREB1 to recruit coactivators (<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">Chrivia <italic>et al.</italic>

<sec id="s14"><title>The ETS-CRE array identifies genomic loci that are cooperatively bound by GABPα and CREB1</title>
<p>We next asked if we could use data from the ETS-CRE arrays to identify specific genomic loci where GABPα and CREB1 are cooperatively binding. To this end, we created position weight matrix (PWM) DNA binding models from each of our custom PBM experiments and used them to score all genomic sequences bound by both GABPα and CREB1 in the same cell type (<italic>i.e.</italic>
, GABPα+CREB1 peaks; see <italic>Materials and Methods</italic>
). The scatterplot in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6A</xref>
depicts, for each of the 5776 genomic regions co-bound by both GABPα and CREB1 in A549 cells, the best binding score predicted by any PWM derived from our custom PBM experiments that included CREB1 (x-axis), and the best score predicted by any PWM derived from experiments using only one of the two proteins (y-axis). Representative PWMs are depicted in the corners of the plot and closely reflect the known GABPα motif (upper left) and the new, cooperative GABPα+CREB1 binding motif depicted in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>
. As expected, many sequences fall along the Y = X diagonal. Such sequences likely represent cases in which GABPα is binding independently of CREB1 (<italic>i.e.</italic>
, they could be predicted equally well with cooperative and noncooperative models). Notably, the majority of points fall in the lower right quadrant of the plot. These points represent sequences that could only have been predicted using data from experiments performed in the presence of both GABPα and CREB1, and hence might represent examples of <italic>in vivo</italic>
cooperative binding. We created high-confidence sets of likely cooperative sequences by restricting to those with false discovery rates (FDRs) less than 5% in at least one GABPα+CREB1 dataset and an FDR >15% in every GABPα and CREB1 monomeric PWM dataset (see <italic>Materials and Methods</italic>
). Seventy-eight such sequences were identified in the A549 ChIP-seq dataset, and an example of one is illustrated as a magenta point in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6A</xref>
. This sequence has a best rank of #291 based on PWMs derived from arrays with GABPα+CREB1 among all 5776 ChIP-seq co-bound sequences but only has a best ranking of #2841 based on PWMs derived from arrays assaying GABPα or CREB1 in isolation. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6B</xref>
depicts the genomic context of this sequence, which is located within the 5′ UTR of the <italic>MYNN</italic>
gene, and is bound by both GABPα and CREB1 in four cell lines. The ETS↔CRE sequence is located in the middle of the ChIP-seq peaks (bottom of <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6B</xref>
), concordant with the idea that it is likely bound by both proteins. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6C</xref>
shows the ETS/CRE sequence in detail. The purple box indicates the cooperative “C” nucleotide that is bound <italic>in vitro</italic>
only in the presence of CREB1, as highlighted in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5, D and E</xref>
. Interestingly, this sequence also contains a genomic SNP (rs373920039) that would likely disrupt the binding of GABPα and CREB1 by altering the CRE sequence (black box, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6C</xref>
), highlighting the potential importance of cooperative binding from a population and disease genetics perspective. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the cooperativity we observe <italic>in vitro</italic>
is also likely important <italic>in vivo</italic>
, and illustrate the utility of our custom arrays to identify genomic regions containing cooperative binding events that might be disrupted by specific genetic variants.</p>

<p>We examined DNA binding of the ETS domain of GABPα (GABPα-GST) in the absence and presence of the B-ZIP domain dimer of CREB1 to the ETS-CRE array, a custom Agilent microarray, to explore cooperative binding to the ETS↔CRE motif (<sup>C</sup>
/<sub>G</sub>
CGGAAGTGACGTCAC) and variants. As expected, SNPs to the 8-bp ETS motif decreased GABPα-GST binding. All SNPs to the ETS motif core GGA trinucleotide are poorly bound and all form hydrogen bonds with the ETS protein domain (<xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">Hollenhorst <italic>et al.</italic>
2009</xref>
). SNPs to the 5 bp in bold (<bold>CC</bold>
GGA<bold>AGT)</bold>
had variable effects on GABPα-GST binding. The SNPs have different contributions to binding in the strong (<sup>C</sup>
/) or weak (/<sub>G</sub>
) ETS motifs, emphasizing the complexity of these interactions. GABPα-GST in the presence of CREB1 binds the consensus motif CCGGAAGT two-fold better, which is stronger than binding to any of the SNPs. Importantly, CREB1 increases GABPα-GST binding to some SNPs 20-fold, effectively ameliorating the poor binding of GABPα-GST to these SNPs.</p>
<p>Pairs of transcription factors (TFs) can cooperatively bind to DNA directly (<xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">Martinez and Rao 2012</xref>
) or indirectly by competition with nucleosomes (<xref rid="bib35" ref-type="bibr">Polach and Widom 1996</xref>
; <xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">He <italic>et al.</italic>
2013</xref>
). Classical models of cooperative TF binding involve direct protein–protein interactions between TFs to achieve binding specificity, as exhibited by the λ phage repressor (<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">Johnson <italic>et al.</italic>
1979</xref>
). The full-length λ repressor is composed of two domains, one required for DNA binding and a second that mediates protein–protein interactions between repressor dimer pairs. This dimer interaction is required for the repressor to cooperatively bind adjacent sites on the same face of DNA, which can be separated by distances up to six turns of the DNA helix (<xref rid="bib21" ref-type="bibr">Hochschild and Ptashne 1986</xref>
; <xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">Bell <italic>et al.</italic>
2000</xref>
). In the case of overlapping TFBS, two mechanisms of cooperative binding have been observed. In one case, the DNA binding domains form protein–protein interactions that facilitate cooperative DNA binding, as is vividly illustrated in the cocrystal structure of PU.1 and IRF-4 (<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">Escalante <italic>et al.</italic>
2002</xref>
). In the second case, TFs cooperatively bind overlapping TFBS and do not form protein–protein interactions, as observed in the beta enhanceosome. Here, cooperative binding is hypothesized to occur through complementarity of DNA conformation at overlapping sites (<xref rid="bib34" ref-type="bibr">Panne <italic>et al.</italic>
2007</xref>
). In other words, complementary conformations promoting cooperative binding between TF pairs are brought about due to sequence-dependent structural changes in DNA at composite sites.</p>
<p>The cooperative binding of GABPα-GST and CREB1 to the ETS↔CRE motif is modeled to be analogous to the enhanceosome. In both cases B-ZIP dimers are involved and there are no direct interactions between the two domains (<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Chatterjee <italic>et al.</italic>
2011</xref>
). Analysis of the SNP probes of our ETS-CRE array identified two distinct groups that exhibit more cooperative binding than the canonical motif. One group of SNPs overlaps the ETS and CRE motifs, suggesting that this mechanism of cooperative binding works through sequence-dependent DNA structural changes that allow formation of complementary DNA conformations at overlapping sites (<xref rid="bib34" ref-type="bibr">Panne <italic>et al.</italic>
2007</xref>
). Crystal structures of GABPα and CREB1 binding independently and together to the SNPs with the greatest cooperative binding may provide an experimental opportunity to directly evaluate if complementarity of DNA conformation at overlapping sites can be observed. The second group of SNPs is at the beginning of the ETS motif, 5 bp away from the overlap between the ETS and CRE motif. The mechanism for this type of cooperatively is potentially different and may be better described through molecular dynamics. Here, the binding of CREB1 might stabilize the DNA, which facilitates GABPα-GST binding. The SNP dependence of this potential mechanism highlights the subtlety of cooperative binding (<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Cooper and Dryden 1984</xref>
; <xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">Harris <italic>et al.</italic>
2001</xref>
; <xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">Kim <italic>et al.</italic>
2013</xref>
).</p>
<p>ETS TFs interact with TFs from several families to bind sequences containing chimeric aspects of each binding site (<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Wunderlich and Mirny 2009</xref>
; <xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Hollenhorst <italic>et al.</italic>
2011b</xref>
). GABPα initially was observed interacting with GABPβ (another ETS protein) to bind a composite element (<xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">Batchelor <italic>et al.</italic>
1998</xref>
). Forkhead proteins interact at the 5′ end of the ETS motif (<xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">De Val <italic>et al.</italic>
2008</xref>
) while SRF, PAX, and CREB1 interact at the 3′ end of the ETS motif (<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Hollenhorst <italic>et al.</italic>
2011b</xref>
). Likewise, many B-ZIP TFs bind to composite elements containing multiple TF families. For example, the cytokine RANTES (<underline>r</underline>
egulated upon <underline>a</underline>
ctivation, <underline>n</underline>
ormal <underline>T</underline>
cell <underline>e</underline>
xpressed) is induced by LPS through promoter binding by ATF and Jun proteins to a composite site containing nonoverlapping ETS and CRE motifs (<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">Boehlk <italic>et al.</italic>
2000</xref>
), and BATF and IRF4 bind cooperatively to promote gene activation and T-helper 17 cell differentiation (<xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">Glasmacher <italic>et al.</italic>
2012</xref>
). Here, we show how the complex interactions between two TFs from different families can be interrogated using custom DNA binding microarrays. We note that these interactions cannot be examined using standard universal PBM array designs, because they usually involve composite motifs that are much longer than the motifs that can be assayed using standard arrays. The ETS-CRE custom array design can be used to examine cooperative binding of pairs of additional ETS and B-ZIP family members. Further, additional custom arrays can be designed containing any combination of TF binding elements.</p>
<p>Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated SNPs in many pathologies. A substantial proportion of these SNPs (85–93%) are noncoding and are thought to act by affecting TF binding sites (<xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">Hindorff <italic>et al.</italic>
2009</xref>
; <xref rid="bib29" ref-type="bibr">Maurano <italic>et al.</italic>
2012</xref>
). The SNP probes of our arrays will be particularly valuable in evaluating whether a disease-associated or trait-associated SNP alters the binding of specific TFs. For example, our data indicate that CREB1 preferentially facilitates GABPα-GST binding to different SNPs within the two ETS motif variants (<sup>C</sup>
/CGGAAGT and /<sub>G</sub>
CGGAAGT), highlighting the detail in these data. A more elaborate exploration including two and three base pair variants of a canonical motif may yield even more information on evaluating GWAS-identified SNPs. We anticipate that custom-designed PBMs such as the ETS-CRE array will therefore aid not only in understanding the mechanisms underlying TF interactions but also in the interpretation of the function of genetic variants associated with human diseases and traits.</p>
