Activation of proto-oncogenes by disruption of chromosome neighborhoods

TL;DR: Insulated neighborhoods in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) are mapped and it is found that tumor cell genomes contain recurrent microdeletions that eliminate the boundary sites of insulated neighborhoods containing prominent T-ALL proto-oncogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI

YY1 Is a Structural Regulator of Enhancer-Promoter Loops

TL;DR: It is shown that the ubiquitously expressed transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) contributes to enhancer-promoter structural interactions in a manner analogous to DNA interactions mediated by CTCF.

Activation of proto-oncogenes by disruption of chromosome neighborhoods

TL;DR: Wala et al. as discussed by the authors investigated whether proto-oncogenes occur within these structures and whether oncogene activation can occur via disruption of insulated neighborhood boundaries in cancer cells.
