Super-Enhancer Transcription Converges on AID
AID mis-targeting is poorly understood but contributes significantly to B cell genome instability. Two new papers in Cell reveal that AID mistargeting occurs primarily in gene bodies within a nuclear microenvironment characterized by high levels of transcriptional activity, interconnected transcriptional regulatory elements, and overlapping sense and antisense (convergent) transcription.
متن کاملEnhancer of RNA polymerase III gene transcription.
A protein responsible for enhanced transcription by RNA polymerase III was identified in extracts from Xenopus oocytes. This protein, called EP3, interacts with a specific DNA sequence adjacent to the 3'-end of a Xenopus somatic 5S RNA gene and forms a distinct band shift complex with a unique DNase I footprint. Enhanced transcription was observed from both 5S RNA and tRNA reporter genes when E...
متن کاملLymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 regulates transcription through gene looping.
Efficient transcription depends upon efficient physical and functional interactions between transcriptosome complexes and DNA. We have previously shown that IL-1beta-induced lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (Lef1) regulates the transcription of its target genes COX2 and MMP13 in mouse chondrocytes by binding to the Lef1 binding sites located in the 3' region. In this study, we investigated ho...
متن کاملDynamic enhancer-gene body contacts during transcription elongation.
Enhancers govern transcription through multiple mechanisms, including the regulation of elongation by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). We characterized the dynamics of looped enhancer contacts during synchronous transcription elongation. We found that many distal enhancers form stable contacts with their target promoters during the entire interval of elongation. Notably, we detected additional dynam...
متن کاملGene Isoform Specificity through Enhancer-Associated Antisense Transcription
Enhancers and antisense RNAs play key roles in transcriptional regulation through differing mechanisms. Recent studies have demonstrated that enhancers are often associated with non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), yet the functional role of these enhancer:ncRNA associations is unclear. Using RNA-Sequencing to interrogate the transcriptomes of undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and their ...
