Long-range enhancer–promoter contacts in gene expression control
Abstract
Spatiotemporal gene expression programmes are orchestrated by transcriptional enhancers, which are key regulatory DNA elements that engage in physical contacts with their target-gene promoters, often bridging considerable genomic distances. Recent progress in genomics, genome editing and microscopy methodologies have enabled the genome-wide mapping of enhancer-promoter contacts and their functional dissection. In this Review, we discuss novel concepts on how enhancer-promoter interactions are established and maintained, how the 3D architecture of mammalian genomes both facilitates and constrains enhancer-promoter contacts, and the role they play in gene expression control during normal development and disease.

In the citing paper
“It is clear from both genome-wide profiling and perturbation studies that, of the multitudes of enhancers in a locus, not all of them provide input to every promoter [430, 431].”
From Transcriptional enhancers and their communication with gene promoters (2021) · cites this paper as [431]
In the citing paper
“Promoter-interacting regions identified using these approaches typically show enrichment for enhancer-associated chromatin marks and disease-associated variants, and in a number of cases their target genes have been validated directly (reviewed in [431]).”

In the citing paper
“During the “search” of a target promoter (regardless of the “searching mechanism”), enhancers meet other genes that, however, are not activated by this enhancer [21,128,129].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
