Promoters with enhancer activity have been described recently. In this point of view, we will discuss current findings highlighting the commonality of this type of regulatory elements, their genetic and epigenetic characteristics, their potential biological roles in the regulation of gene expression and the underlining molecular mechanisms.
TSS: transcription start site; IFN: interferon; STARR-seq: Self-Transcribing Active Regulatory Region sequencing; MPRA: Massively Parallel Reporter Assay; ChIP: chromatin immunoprecipitation; CRISPR: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats; lncRNA: long non-coding RNA.
最近已经描述了具有增强子活性的启动子。从这个角度来看,我们将讨论当前的研究结果,突出这类调控元件的共性、它们的遗传和表观遗传特征、它们在基因表达调控中的潜在生物学作用以及潜在的分子机制。
TSS:转录起始位点;IFN:干扰素;STARR-seq:自转录活性调控区域测序;MPRA:大规模平行报告基因检测;ChIP:染色质免疫沉淀;CRISPR:成簇规律间隔短回文重复序列;lncRNA:长链非编码RNA。
