Abstract

Since the discovery that enhancers can support transcription, the roles of enhancer RNAs have remained largely elusive. We identified that enhancer RNAs interact with and augment bromodomain engagement with acetylated chromatin. Here, we discuss our recent findings and the potential mechanisms underlying the regulation and functions of enhancer RNA-bromodomain associations.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • eRNAs are medium in length (<2 kb), related to transcriptional regulation, and their central role is in promoter modulation, mediating the link between the enhancer and the promoter.

    “eRNAs are medium in length (<2 kb) and are related to transcriptional regulation, and their central role is in promoter modulation, mediating the link between the enhancer and the promoter [75].”

    From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [75]

    The passage labeled KEYWORDS (page unavailable) says eRNAs contribute to gene control by stabilizing enhancer–promoter looping, supporting their role in linking enhancers and promoters. It also describes several other mechanisms, so it does not establish promoter modulation as their central role. Our copy does not give the claimed length of <2 kb. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
