By building synthetic regulatory landscapes, Jensen et al.1 and Thomas et al.2 demonstrate in this issue of Molecular Cell that gene expression levels strongly depend on the genomic distance between enhancers and promoters and that enhancer cooperation can compensate for reduced enhancer activity over large genomic distances.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Cell is a companion to Cell, the leading journal of biology and the highest-impact journal in the world. Launched in December 1997 and published monthly. Molecular Cell is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research in molecular biology, focusing on fundamental cellular processes. The journal encompasses a wide range of topics, including DNA replication, recombination, and repair; Chromatin biology and genome organization; Transcription; RNA processing and decay; Non-coding RNA function; Translation; Protein folding, modification, and quality control; Signal transduction pathways; Cell cycle and checkpoints; Cell death; Autophagy; Metabolism.
