ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling: genetics, genomics and mechanisms

DC Hargreaves, GR Crabtree - Cell research, 2011 - nature.com
Macromolecular assemblies that regulate chromatin structure using the energy of ATP

The biology of chromatin remodeling complexes

CR Clapier, BR Cairns - Annual review of biochemistry, 2009 - annualreviews.org
The packaging of chromosomal DNA by nucleosomes condenses and organizes the
genome, but occludes many regulatory DNA elements. However, this constraint also allows …

Enhancer–promoter contact formation requires RNAPII and antagonizes loop extrusion

S Zhang, N Übelmesser, M Barbieri, A Papantonis - Nature genetics, 2023 - nature.com
Homotypic chromatin interactions and loop extrusion are thought to be the two main drivers
of mammalian chromosome folding. Here we tested the role of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) …

Mammalian ISWI and SWI/SNF selectively mediate binding of distinct transcription factors

D Barisic, MB Stadler, M Iurlaro, D Schübeler - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Chromatin remodelling complexes evict, slide, insert or replace nucleosomes, which
represent an intrinsic barrier for access to DNA. These remodellers function in most aspects …

Control of inducible gene expression links cohesin to hematopoietic progenitor self-renewal and differentiation

S Cuartero, FD Weiss, G Dharmalingam, Y Guo… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Cohesin is important for 3D genome organization. Nevertheless, even the complete removal
