Genetic coupling of enhancer activity and connectivity in gene expression control by Helen Ray-Jones, Chak Kei Sung, Lai Ting Chan, Alexander Haglund, Pavel Artemov, Monica Della Rosa, Luminita Ruje, Frances Burden, Roman Kreuzhuber, Anna Litovskikh, Eline Weyenbergh, Zoï Brusselaers, Vanessa Xue Hui Tan, Mattia Frontini, Chris Wallace, Valeriya Malysheva, Leonardo Bottolo, Elena Vigorito, Mikhail Spivakov

“…Abstract Gene enhancers often form long-range contacts with promoters, but it remains unclear if the activity of enhancers and their chromosomal contacts are mediated by the same DNA sequences and recruited factors. Here, we study the effects of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) on enhancer activity and promoter contacts in primary monocytes isolated from 34 male individuals. …”

PhpCNF-Y transcription factor infiltrates heterochromatin to generate cryptic intron-containing transcripts crucial for small RNA production by Manjit Kumar Srivastav, H. Diego Folco, Patroula Nathanailidou, Anupa T Anil, Drisya Vijayakumari, Shweta Jain, Jothy Dhakshnamoorthy, Maura O’Neill, Thorkell Andresson, David Wheeler, Shiv I. S. Grewal

“…Abstract The assembly of repressive heterochromatin in eukaryotic genomes is crucial for silencing lineage-inappropriate genes and repetitive DNA elements. Paradoxically, transcription of repetitive elements within constitutive heterochromatin domains is required for RNA-based mechanisms, such as the RNAi pathway, to target heterochromatin assembly proteins. …”
