CTCF binding site classes exhibit distinct evolutionary, genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic features
18 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) is an evolutionarily conserved zinc finger protein involved in diverse functions ranging from negative regulation of MYC, to chromatin insulation of the beta-globin gene cluster, to imprinting of the Igf2 locus. The 11 zinc fingers of CTCF are known to differentially contribute to the CTCF-DNA interaction at different binding sites. It is possible that the differences in...
