Developmentally linked human DNA hypermethylation is associated with down-modulation, repression, and upregulation of transcription

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2018
DNA methylation can affect tissue-specific gene transcription in ways that are difficult to discern from studies focused on genome-wide analyses of differentially methylated regions (DMRs). To elucidate the variety of associations between differentiation-

CTCF-mediated genome organization and leukemogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesLeukemia, 2020
Recent technological advancements and genome-wide studies provide compelling evidence that dynamic chromatin interaction and three-dimensional genome organization in nuclei play an important role in regulating gene expression. Mammalian genomes consist of many small functional domains termed topologically associated domains (TADs), many of them ...

Modular insulators: genome wide search for composite CTCF/thyroid hormone receptor binding sites. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The conserved 11 zinc-finger protein CTCF is involved in several transcriptional mechanisms, including insulation and enhancer blocking. We had previously identified two composite elements consisting of a CTCF and a TR binding site at the chicken ...

CTCF as a boundary factor for cohesin-mediated loop extrusion: evidence for a multi-step mechanism

open access: yesNucleus, 2020
Mammalian genome structure is closely linked to function. At the scale of kilobases to megabases, CTCF and cohesin organize the genome into chromatin loops.

Role of CTCF poly(ADP-Ribosyl)ation in the regulation of apoptosis in breast cancer cells

open access: yesIndian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, 2015
Introduction: CTCF is a candidate tumor suppressor gene encoding a multifunctional transcription factor. CTCF function is controlled by posttranslational modification and interaction with other proteins. Research findings suggested that CTCF function can

CTCF regulates the local epigenetic state of ribosomal DNA repeats

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin, 2010
Background CCCTC binding factor (CTCF) is a highly conserved zinc finger protein, which is involved in chromatin organization, local histone modifications, and RNA polymerase II-mediated gene transcription.

Clustered CTCF binding is an evolutionary mechanism to maintain topologically associating domains

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2020
Background CTCF binding contributes to the establishment of a higher-order genome structure by demarcating the boundaries of large-scale topologically associating domains (TADs).

Genome-wide Analysis of Ctcf-RNA Interactions

open access: yes, 2014
Ctcf is a "master regulator" of the genome that plays a role in a variety of gene regulatory functions as well as in genome architecture. Evidence from studying the epigenetic process of X-chromosome inactivation suggests that, in certain cases, Ctcf ...
