Description:

NIPBL-AS1 is transcribed upstream and antisense to NIPBL, the cohesin-loader protein that is found to be mutated in >60% of the cases of Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS). NIPBL-AS1 originates from a promoter shared with NIPBL and has a co-regulation by a distal enhancer. Deletion of the enhancer by CRISPR leads to reduced expression of NIPBL and NIPBL-AS1 but also of dysregulated NIPBL target genes in CdLS patient cells. NIPBL-AS1 itself has no role for NIPBL expression, but its transcription reduces the expression of the NIPBL gene and vice versa, thus revealing an interesting mechanism for the fine-tuning of expression levels.
