Anchoring Chromatin Loops to Cancer [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2017 Although some genomic rearrangements are caused by replication or transcription, the etiology of others is unclear. Reporting in Cell, Canela et al. (2017) reveal that type II topoisomerase-mediated release of torsional strain at chromosomal loop anchors generates DNA double-strand breaks that drive multiple oncogenic translocations in a transcription ...

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2020 Transcriptional repression of Nanog is an important hallmark of stem cell differentiation. Chromatin modifications have been linked to the epigenetic profile of the Nanog gene, but whether chromatin organization actually plays a causal role in Nanog ...

Short‐range regulatory chromatin loops in plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 SummaryIn all eukaryotic organisms, gene expression correlates with the condensation state of the chromatin. Highly packed genome regions, known as heterochromatins, are associated with repressed loci, whereas euchromatic regions represent a relaxed state of the chromatin actively transcribed. However, even in these active regions, associations between

Evolution of Regulated Transcription
Cells, 2020 The genomes of all organisms abound with various cis-regulatory elements, which control gene activity. Transcriptional enhancers are a key group of such elements in eukaryotes and are DNA regions that form physical contacts with gene promoters and ...

Closed chromatin loops at the ends of chromosomes [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2004 The termini of eukaryotic chromosomes contain specialized protective structures, the telomeres, composed of TTAGGG repeats and associated proteins which, together with telomerase, control telomere length. Telomere shortening is associated with senescence and inappropriate telomerase activity may lead to cancer.

Loops and the activity of loop extrusion factors constrain chromatin dynamics [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2020 The relationship between chromatin structure and dynamics is incompletely understood. Here experimental and computational approaches are combined to reveal that looping interactions impose constraints on chromatin mobility while the ATP-dependent INO80 chromatin remodeler plays an important role in energy-dependent chromatin dynamics.

Chromatin looping is needed for iPSC induction [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2013 Terminally differentiated somatic cells can be reset to pluripotent capability either by ectopic expression of defined factors to form so-called “induced pluripotent stem cells” (iPSCs)1 or by empl...

The attachments of chromatin loops to the nucleoskeleton
Cell Biology International Reports, 1992 It is widely assumed by cell biologists that chromatin is looped by attachment to some nuclear skeleton. 'Structural' attachments might be mediated through specific sequences; these would be attached in most cells in an organism, underlying the basic structure of the mitotic chromosome and persisting throughout interphase.

The role of chromatin loop extrusion in antibody diversification. [PDF]
Nat Rev Immunol, 2022 Cohesin mediates chromatin loop formation across the genome by extruding chromatin between convergently oriented CTCF-binding elements. Recent studies indicate that cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in developing B cells presents immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igh) variable (V), diversity (D) and joining (J) gene segments to RAG endonuclease through a ...
