CTCF is a DNA-tension-dependent barrier to cohesin-mediated DNA loop extrusion
2022-09-09
Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, genomic DNA is extruded into loops by cohesin 1 . By restraining this process, the DNA-binding protein CTCF generates topologically associating domains (TADs) 2-4 that play key roles in gene regulation and recombination during development and disease 1,5-8 . How CTCF establishes TAD boundaries and to what extent these are permeable to cohesin is unknown 9 . To address these questions, we visuali...
