Genome folding through loop extrusion by SMC complexes
IF Davidson, JM Peters - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2021 - nature.com
Genomic DNA is folded into loops and topologically associating domains (TADs), which
serve important structural and regulatory roles. It has been proposed that these genomic …

RNA polymerase II dynamics shape enhancer–promoter interactions
How enhancers control target gene expression over long genomic distances remains an
important unsolved problem. Here we investigated enhancer–promoter communication by …

The spatial organization of transcriptional control
In animals, the sequences for controlling gene expression do not concentrate just at the
transcription start site of genes, but are frequently thousands to millions of base pairs distal …

Enhancer–promoter interactions can bypass CTCF-mediated boundaries and contribute to phenotypic robustness
How enhancers activate their distal target promoters remains incompletely understood. Here
we dissect how CTCF-mediated loops facilitate and restrict such regulatory interactions …

Cis-regulatory sequences in plants: their importance, discovery, and future challenges
The identification and characterization of cis-regulatory DNA sequences and how they
function to coordinate responses to developmental and environmental cues is of paramount …

Enhancer–promoter interactions and transcription are largely maintained upon acute loss of CTCF, cohesin, WAPL or YY1
It remains unclear why acute depletion of CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) and cohesin only
marginally affects expression of most genes despite substantially perturbing three …

Enhancer–promoter contact formation requires RNAPII and antagonizes loop extrusion
Homotypic chromatin interactions and loop extrusion are thought to be the two main drivers
of mammalian chromosome folding. Here we tested the role of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) …
