Transcription activation is enhanced by multivalent interactions independent of phase separation

Jorge Trojanowski et al.

Summary: This study investigates the transcriptional activation process by comparing synthetic transcription factors (TFs) at a reporter gene array. The results show that the physicochemical properties of the activation domain (AD) can control TF assembly at chromatin. It was found that while the propensity for phase separation and activation strength of the AD were correlated, the actual formation of liquid-like TF droplets had a neutral or inhibitory effect on transcription activation. The study concludes that multivalent AD-mediated interactions enhance transcription activation capacity by increasing the TF's residence time in the chromatin-bound state and facilitating the recruitment of coactivators, independent of phase separation.

Tuning levels of low-complexity endogenous oncogenic transcription

Shasha Chong et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the quantity and localization of LCD-LCD interactions can influence the transcriptional regulation of genes. Excessive LCD-LCD interactions repress transcription, while confining the transcription factor to a liquid-liquid phase separation compartment also inhibits transcription.

Inheritance of repressed chromatin domains during S phase requires the histone chaperone NPM1

Thelma M. Escobar et al.

Summary: The epigenetic process plays a crucial role in maintaining cell identity during cell division by ensuring the inheritance of appropriate gene expression profiles. NPM1, a histone chaperone, is found to be responsible for the specificity of parental nucleosome inheritance in repressed chromatin domains. It interacts with specific histone modifications and DNA replication components, contributing to the integrity of this process.

Hotspot mutations in the structured ENL YEATS domain link aberrant transcriptional condensates and cancer

Lele Song et al.

Summary: Growing evidence suggests the presence of transcriptional condensates on chromatin, but their formation mechanisms and functional significance are still unclear. This study reveals that mutations in the histone acetylation reader ENL can lead to aberrant condensate formation, which drives oncogenic gene activation in human cancer.

3′HS1 CTCF binding site in human β-globin locus regulates fetal hemoglobin expression

Pamela Himadewi et al.

Summary: Deletion of the CTCF binding site 3' HS1 in the adult beta-globin gene locus can induce fetal hemoglobin expression, potentially offering therapeutic implications for treating hemoglobinopathies. This induction is mediated by ectopic access of a distal enhancer in the OR52A1 gene, which can be insulated by the inversion of the 3' HS1 CTCF site.

Mutational synergy during leukemia induction remodels chromatin accessibility, histone modifications and three-dimensional DNA topology to alter gene expression

Haiyang Yun et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the cooperative effects of Flt3-ITD and Npm1c mutations, commonly found in acute myeloid leukemia, on the cellular epigenome and three-dimensional genome conformation during tumor development. The mutations alter the epigenetic landscape and genome organization, synergize to drive leukemia induction, and reveal long-range cis-regulatory circuits and gene-regulatory networks driven by transcription factors.
