TLDR
The multidomain CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), containing a tandem array of 11 zinc fingers, modulates the three-dimensional organization of chromatin and is sensitive to cytosine methylation at position 2, but insensitive at position 12 of the 15-bp core sequence.

Chromatin extrusion explains key features of loop and domain formation in wild-type and engineered genomes

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution spatial proximity maps are consistent with a model in which a complex, including the proteins CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) and cohesin, mediates the formation of loops by a process of extrusion.

Dynamic DNA methylation: In the right place at the right time

TL;DR: Recent findings that delineate 5mC functions in developmental stages and diverse genomic compartments are reviewed as well as discuss the molecular mechanisms that connect transcriptional regulation and5mC.
Journal ArticleDOI

The roles of DNA, RNA and histone methylation in ageing and cancer.

TL;DR: The cellular functions of chromatin methylation are discussed and a perspective on the emerging data from early-phase clinical trial therapies that target regulators of DNA and histone methylation is provided.

Emerging Evidence of Chromosome Folding by Loop Extrusion.

TL;DR: Predictions from polymer models of loop extrusion with barrier elements and recent experimental studies that provide strong support for loop extrusions are reviewed, focusing on perturbations to CTCF and cohesin assayed via Hi-C in interphase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome folding through loop extrusion by SMC complexes

TL;DR: The loop extrusion hypothesis has led to a paradigm shift in our understanding of both genome architecture and the functions of chromosomes (SMC) complexes, such as separation of replicated DNA molecules, facilitation of enhancer-promoter interactions and immunoglobulin gene recombination.

A 3D Map of the Human Genome at Kilobase Resolution Reveals Principles of Chromatin Looping

TL;DR: In situ Hi-C is used to probe the 3D architecture of genomes, constructing haploid and diploid maps of nine cell types, identifying ∼10,000 loops that frequently link promoters and enhancers, correlate with gene activation, and show conservation across cell types and species.
