Abstract
A number of factors contribute to cell type–specific CTCF chromatin binding, but how they act in concert to determine binding stability and functionality has not been fully elucidated. In this review, we tie together different layers of regulation to provide a holistic view of what is known. What emerges from these studies is a multifaceted system in which DNA sequence, DNA and chromatin accessibility, and cell type–specific transcription factors together contribute to CTCF binding profile and function. We discuss these findings in the light of disease settings in which changes in the chromatin landscape and transcriptional programming can disrupt CTCF’s binding profile and involvement in looping.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Genetics and Development aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Genetics and Development we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form.
2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.[...]
The subject of Genetics and Development is divided into six themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year:
• Cancer Genomics
• Genome Architecture and Expression
• Molecular and genetic basis of disease
• Developmental mechanisms, patterning and evolution
• Cell reprogramming, regeneration and repair
• Genetics of Human Origin / Evolutionary genetics (alternate years)
