EHMT2, SETDB1, and SUV39H1 are required to maintain silencing of some LTRs in HCT116 cells. (A) The expression of up-regulated 791 intergenic LTRs after knockdown (KD) of represented genes. Red indicates the expression level of LTRs based on total RNA-seq in Nontarget (control), SETDB2, SUV39H2, EZH2, TRIM28, EHMT2, SETDB1, and SUV39H1 KD samples. (B) The fold expression changes in SETDB1 and SUV39H1 KD samples.
