CGGBP1 regulates CTCF occupancy at repeats
Background CGGBP1 is a repeat-binding protein with diverse functions in the regulation of gene expression, cytosine methylation, repeat silencing and genomic integrity. CGGBP1 has also been identified as a cooperator of histone-modifying enzymes and as a

Predicting CTCF-mediated chromatin loops using CTCF-MP [PDF]
The three dimensional organization of chromosomes within the cell nucleus is highly regulated. It is known that CTCF is an important architectural protein to mediate long-range chromatin loops.

A Genome-wide Map of CTCF Multivalency Redefines the CTCF Code
The “CTCF code” hypothesis posits that CTCF pleiotropic functions are driven by recognition of diverse sequences through combinatorial use of its 11 zinc fingers (ZFs).

ADP-ribose polymers localized on Ctcf-Parp1-Dnmt1 complex prevent methylation of Ctcf target sites [PDF]
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) is involved in the maintenance of genomic methylation patterns through its control of DNA methyltranferase 1 (Dnmt1) activity.

CTCF Haploinsufficiency Destabilizes DNA Methylation and Predisposes to Cancer
Epigenetic alterations, particularly in DNA methylation, are ubiquitous in cancer, yet the molecular origins and the consequences of these alterations are poorly understood.

CGGBP1-regulated cytosine methylation at CTCF-binding motifs resists stochasticity
Background The human CGGBP1 binds to GC-rich regions and interspersed repeats, maintains homeostasis of stochastic cytosine methylation and determines DNA-binding of CTCF.

NDFIP2 Suppresses Colorectal Cancer Metastasis Through DDX3X-Dependent R-Loop Remodeling and GNG13 Transcriptional Activation. [PDF]
NDFIP2 recruits NEDD4 to promote K48‐linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of DDX3X, leading to R‐loop accumulation and CTCF‐dependent suppression of GNG13 transcription. Consequently, PI3K/AKT signaling, EMT, stemness, and colorectal cancer metastasis are inhibited.

CTCF is a barrier for 2C-like reprogramming [PDF]
AbstractTotipotent cells have the ability to generate embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues. Interestingly, a rare population of cells with totipotent-like potential, known as 2 cell (2C)-like cells, has been identified within ESC cultures. They arise from ESC and display similar features to those found in the 2C embryo.

CTCF and cellular heterogeneity [PDF]
Abstract Cellular heterogeneity, which was initially defined for tumor cells, is a fundamental property of all cellular systems, ranging from genetic diversity to cell-to-cell variation driven by stochastic molecular interactions involved all cellular processes.

A YAP-TEAD-CTCF Transcriptional Regulatory Axis Associated With the Elimination of Injured Hepatocytes From the Liver. [PDF]
Injured YAP‐activated hepatocytes are eliminated from the liver. They are extruded toward the sinusoidal lumen, undergo cell death, and are phagocytosed by macrophages. Here, we performed proximity ligation assay, ATAC‐seq, RNA‐seq, and CellChat analyses.
