WebMar 23, 2024 · CTCF is a key insulator-binding protein, and mammalian genomes contain numerous CTCF sites, many of which are organized in tandem. Using CRISPR DNA-fragment editing, in conjunction with chromosome conformation capture, we find that CTCF sites, if located between enhancers and promoters in the protocadherin (Pcdh) and β … WebMar 8, 2024 · This suggests either a lack of requirement for convergent CTCF sites creating loops, or indicates an absence of any loops between CTCF sites within the V region portion of those loci but only loops to the convergent sites at the D-J-enhancer end of each locus. The V region portions of the Igκ and TCRα/δ loci, by contrast, have CTCF sites in ...
CCIP: Predicting CTCF-mediated chromatin loops with transitivity
WebJan 11, 2024 · CTCF is crucial to the organization of mammalian genomes into loop structures. According to recent studies, the transcription apparatus is compartmentalized and concentrated at super-enhancers to form phase-separated condensates and drive the expression of cell-identity genes. However, it remains unclear whether and how … WebAs demonstrated by 4C-seq, formation of productive loops between TLX3 and the BCL11B enhancer involves multiple convergent CTCF sites. As shown by others, clustered CTCF sites form chromatin loops more robustly than isolated sites. 94 Higher TLX3 expression levels in CTCF-aberrant patients will boost oncogenic activity, ... edited nearest neighbor
CTCF: making the right connections
WebNov 1, 2024 · hg19_10kb_ctcfBoundBinPairs is a GInteractions object with all pairwise combinations of CTCF-bound 10Kb bins within 1Mb annotated with the following features: The total CTCF signal in each bin. The number of CTCF sites in each bin. The distance between bin pairs. Whether at least one CTCF site is convergent between each bin pair. WebThe RAG endonuclease initiates Igh V(D)J assembly in B cell progenitors by joining D segments to JH segments, before joining upstream VH segments to DJH intermediates1. In mouse progenitor B cells, the CTCF-binding element (CBE)-anchored chromatin loop domain2 at the 3′ end of Igh contains an internal subdomain that spans the 5′ CBE … WebMar 22, 2024 · The effects observed upon removal of CTCF-binding sites could be attributed to the formation of new long-range interactions between convergent CTCF sites that may bring enhancers located outside the HoxA domain (Langston et al., 1997; Woltering et al., 2014) into close proximity to promoters of the HoxA genes, limiting stimulatory activity to ... editedofficial
