High-resolution Xist binding maps reveal two-step spreading during X-chromosome inactivation

TL;DR: High-resolution maps of Xist binding on the X chromosome across a developmental time course using CHART-seq conclude that Xist spreading takes distinct stage-specific forms, but during maintenance, Xist spreads rapidly to both gene-rich and gene-poor regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pluripotency factor, Oct4, interacts with Ctcf and also controls X-chromosome pairing and counting

TL;DR: It is shown that Oct4 (also known as Pou5f1) lies at the top of the XCI hierarchy, and regulates XCI by triggering X-chromosome pairing and counting, the first trans-factor that regulates counting, and ascribed new functions to Oct4 during X- chromosome reprogramming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spreading of X chromosome inactivation via a hierarchy of defined Polycomb stations.

TL;DR: Examining allele-specific binding of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and chromatin composition during XCI and generating a chromosome-wide profile of Xi and Xa (active X) at nucleosome-resolution suggests that XCI is governed by a hierarchy of defined Polycomb stations that spread H3K27 methylation in cis.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-chromosome hyperactivation in mammals via nonlinear relationships between chromatin states and transcription

TL;DR: This work derives predictive models for relationships among Pol II occupancy, active mark densities and gene expression, and suggests that Xa upregulation involves increased transcription initiation and elongation, without invoking X-specific dependencies between chromatin states and transcription.
