Check our latest with Yacine Kherdjemil and @eileen-furlong.bsky.social and our colleagues, where we show Chip (Ldb1) is essential only at a narrow window of embryogenesis overlapping ZGA. It functionally and physically bridges CBP to Zelda to regulate gene expression. www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
Chip (Ldb1) is a putative cofactor of Zelda forming a functional bridge to CBP during zygotic genome activation
Chip/Ldb1 is a crucial cofactor regulating enhancer function and chromatin interactions. Using optogenetics, Galouzis, Kherdjemil et al. show that Chip is only essential during zygotic genome activati...

Happy to share the latest story from @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab @embl.org! With @guidobarzaghi.bsky.social, we used Single Molecule Footprinting to quantify how often chromatin is accessible at enhancers after TF and chromatin environment changes! Check our preprint bit.ly/3XQMFxN + thread ⬇️ 1/11
