RNA-binding proteins pull in chromatin loops - Nature Cell Biology
During development as cells exit a pluripotent state, chromatin looping interactions are strengthened, but the mechanism for this is unknown. A study now shows that CTCF–RBP interactions increase upon differentiation of embryonic stem cells to neural stem cells, and that the non-coding RNA Pantr1 collaborates with CTCF and RBPs to contract the genome.
