Integrative Genomics Identifies the Corepressor SMRT as a Gatekeeper of Adipogenesis through the Transcription Factors C/EBPβ and KAISO

TLDR
Genome-wide DNA-binding profiling revealed that this corepressor SMRT is predominantly located in active chromatin regions and that most distal SMRT binding events are lost after differentiation induction, revealing a role for SMRT in masking enhancers from proadipogenic factors in preadipocytes.

The Genetics of Transcription Factor DNA Binding Variation

TL;DR: The findings that led to this important paradigm shift are summarized and proposed mechanisms for local, proximal, or distal genetic variation-driven variable TF-DNA binding are reviewed.

Mapping genome-wide transcription-factor binding sites using DAP-seq.

TL;DR: DAP-seq is developed, a transcription factor (TF)-binding site (TFBS) discovery assay that couples affinity-purified TFs with next-generation sequencing of a genomic DNA library, enabling low-cost, high-throughput generation of cistrome and epicistrome maps for any organism.

Emerging roles of the corepressors NCoR1 and SMRT in homeostasis

TL;DR: The results from recent in vivo studies that reveal the wide-ranging roles of NCoR1 and SMRT in developmental as well as homeostatic processes, including metabolism, inflammation, and circadian rhythms are summarized.

Gain Fat???Lose Metastasis: Converting Invasive Breast Cancer Cells into Adipocytes Inhibits Cancer Metastasis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cancer cell plasticity can be exploited therapeutically by forcing the trans-differentiation of EMT-derived breast cancer cells into post-mitotic and functional adipocytes leading to the repression of primary tumor invasion and metastasis formation.

Dynamic Rewiring of Promoter-Anchored Chromatin Loops during Adipocyte Differentiation

TL;DR: Intriguingly, formation of loops connecting activated enhancers and promoters is also associated with extensive recruitment of corepressors such as NCoR and HDACs, indicating that this class of coregulators may play a previously unrecognized role during enhancer activation.

Mapping and quantifying mammalian transcriptomes by RNA-Seq.

TL;DR: Although >90% of uniquely mapped reads fell within known exons, the remaining data suggest new and revised gene models, including changed or additional promoters, exons and 3′ untranscribed regions, as well as new candidate microRNA precursors.

Adipocyte differentiation from the inside out.

TL;DR: Interest in adipogenesis has increased markedly over the past few years with emphasis on the intersection between extracellular signals and the transcriptional cascade that regulates adipocyte differentiation.

Systematic discovery of regulatory motifs in human promoters and 3′ UTRs by comparison of several mammals

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative analysis of the human, mouse, rat and dog genomes is presented to create a systematic catalogue of common regulatory motifs in promoters and 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs).

Sensors and signals: a coactivator/corepressor/epigenetic code for integrating signal-dependent programs of transcriptional response.

TL;DR: This strategy imposes a temporal order for modifying programs of transcriptional regulation in response to the cellular milieu, which is used to mediate developmental/homeostatic and pathological events.

Sublines of mouse 3T3 cells that accumulate lipid

TL;DR: Two clonal sublines are isolated from the established mouse fibroblast line 3T3 that accumulate large amounts of triglyceride fat when the cells are in the resting state and are reduced by lipolytic agents.
