Genetic features and genomic targets of human KRAB-zinc finger proteins

Didier Trono, Jacques Fellay, Priscilla Turelli, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Cyril David Son-Tuyên Pulver, Romain Forey, Bara Khubieh

Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) are one of the largest groups of transcription factors encoded by tetrapods, with 378 members in human alone. KZFP genes are often grouped in clusters reflecting amplification by ...

Cis-regulatory effect of HPV integration is constrained by host chromatin architecture in cervical cancers

Daniele Tavernari, Giovanni Ciriello

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are the primary drivers of cervical cancers, and often HPV DNA gets integrated into the host genome. Although the oncogenic impact of HPV encoded genes is relatively well known, the cis-regulatory effect of integrated ...

Chromatin modules and their implication in genomic organization and gene regulation

Bart Deplancke, Guido Van Mierlo, Judith Franziska Kribelbauer

Regulation of gene expression is a complex but highly guided process. While genomic technologies and computational approaches have allowed high-throughput mapping of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and their interactions in 3D, their precise role in regulat ...

Context-dependent enhancer function revealed by targeted inter-TAD relocation

Denis Duboule, Guillaume Andrey, Lucille Delisle, Christopher Chase Bolt, Aurélie Hintermann

Here the authors show that a strong enhancer sequence can be controlled by the chromatin environment provided by a topologically associated domain (TAD) located nearby. An enhancer relocated by homologous recombination takes all the hallmarks of its new ne ...

KRAB zinc-finger proteins and their transposable element targets: between antagonism and cooperation

Jonas Caspar De Tribolet-Hardy

There are 377 Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) in the human genome, making them the largest family of transcription factors. KZFPs are defined by a N-terminal KRAB domain and several zinc-finger domains arranged ...

Epigenetic plasticity as a signature for memory allocation

Giulia Santoni

Long-lasting memories are stored in a small set of neurons scattered throughout the brain, so-called engram cells. To define a stable engram each region of the brain involved in memory storage recruits between 5 and 20 percent of excitatory neurons. In par ...

Targeted search for scaling genes reveals matrix metalloproteinase 3 as a scaler of the dorsal-ventral pattern in Xenopus laevis embryos

Daria Korotkova

How embryos scale patterning according to size is still not fully understood. Through in silico screening and analysis of reaction-diffusion systems that could be responsible for scaling, we predicted the existence of genes whose expression is sensitive to ...

PR-DUB preserves Polycomb repression by preventing excessive accumulation of H2Aub1, an antagonist of chromatin compaction

Beat Fierz, Iuliia Boichenko

The Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1, PRC2, and PR-DUB repress target genes by modifying their chromatin. In Drosophila, PRC1 compacts chromatin and monoubiquitinates histone H2A at lysine 118 (H2Aub1), whereas PR-DUB is a major H2Aub1 deubiquitinase, bu ...

A satellite DNA array barcodes chromosome 7 and regulates totipotency via ZFP819

Didier Trono, Gabriela Ecco, Helen Mary Rowe

Mammalian genomes are a battleground for genetic conflict between repetitive elements and KRAB-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs). We asked whether KZFPs can regulate cell fate by using ZFP819, which targets a satellite DNA array, ZP3AR. ZP3AR coats megabase reg ...

Sequential in cis mutagenesis in vivo reveals various functions for CTCF sites at the mouse HoxD cluster

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany, Lucille Delisle, Leonardo Beccari

In this study, Amandio et al. sought to understand the functions of the highly conserved CTCF sites distributed over the Hox gene clusters. The authors produced an allelic series of cumulative in cis mutations in these sites, up to the abrogation of CTCF b ...
