Mediator and cohesin connect gene expression and chromatin architecture
Kagey, Michael H.; Newman, Jamie Jennifer; Bilodeau, Steve; Zhan, Ye; Orlando, David A.; e.a. (Nature Publishing Group, 2010-08)Transcription factors control cell-specific gene expression programs through interactions with diverse coactivators and the transcription apparatus. Gene activation may involve DNA loop formation between enhancer-bound ... -
Mediator Condensates Localize Signaling Factors to Key Cell Identity Genes
Zamudio Montes de Oca, Alicia; Dall’Agnese, Alessandra; Henninger, Jonathan E.; Manteiga, John Colonnese; Afeyan, Lena K.; e.a. (Elsevier BV, 2019-12)The gene expression programs that define the identity of each cell are controlled by master transcription factors (TFs) that bind cell-type-specific enhancers, as well as signaling factors, which bring extracellular stimuli ... -
Partitioning of cancer therapeutics in nuclear condensates
Klein, Isaac A.; Boija, Ann; Afeyan, Lena K.; Hawken, Susana Wilson; Fan, Mengyang; e.a.

Transcription Factors Activate Genes through the Phase-Separation Capacity of Their Activation Domains
Klein, Isaac A.; Sabari, Benjamin R.; Dall’Agnese, Alessandra; Coffey, Eliot L.; Zamudio, Alicia V.; e.a. (Elsevier BV, 2018-12)Gene expression is controlled by transcription factors (TFs) that consist of DNA-binding domains (DBDs) and activation domains (ADs). The DBDs have been well characterized, but little is known about the mechanisms by which ...
