What is a promoter? And how does it work?
We very happy to share our latest work trying to understand enhancer-promoter compatibility.
I am very excited about the results of @blanka-majchrzycka.bsky.social, which changed the way I think about promoters

Enhancer-promoter compatibility is mediated by the promoter-proximal region
Gene promoters induce transcription in response to distal enhancers. How enhancers specifically activate their target promoter while bypassing other promoters remains unclear. Here, we find that the p...

Out now! 🎉 Check the thread & preprint to see why we think E–P specificity is real in mammals — and, well, a few other interesting things popped up too 👀
Huge thanks to @danielibrahim.bsky.social, @arnaudkr.bsky.social & @stemundi.bsky.social and fantastic people in their labs — what a journey! 🧪🔬

We first met at the #Enhanceropathies workshop in June this year, where we both gave talks and realized our studies were complementary — now they’re out together! 🎉 Check out the great work from @mmasoura.bsky.social and @yghavi.bsky.social below 👇
Ever wondered what drives enhancer-promoter specificity? Why would an enhancer activate one gene rather than another neighboring one?

Promoter-proximal gatekeepers restrict pleiotropic enhancer inputs to achieve tissue specificity
Developmental enhancers are central regulatory elements that can activate multiple genes, yet how they selectively regulate one gene over its neighbours remains unclear. Using the Drosophila twist E3 ...
