[PDF][PDF] H3K27ac bookmarking promotes rapid post-mitotic activation of the pluripotent stem cell program without impacting 3D chromatin reorganization

B Pelham-Webb, A Polyzos, L Wojenski, A Kloetgen… - Molecular cell, 2021 - cell.com
During self-renewal, cell-type-defining features are drastically perturbed in mitosis and must
be faithfully reestablished upon G1 entry, a process that remains largely elusive. Here, we …

A bipartite boundary element restricts UBE3A imprinting to mature neurons

which are overexpressed in hematologic malignancies. RBPs participate in various processes …

Multiple modes of regulation control dynamic transcription patterns during the mitosis-G1 transition

LA Wojenski, LM Wainman, G Villafano, C Kuhlberg… - bioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
Following cell division, genomes must reactivate gene expression patterns that reflect the
identity of the cell. Here, we use PRO-seq to examine the mechanisms that reestablish …

Mitotic retention of H3K27 acetylation promotes rapid topological and transcriptional resetting of stem cell-related genes and enhancers upon G1 entry

B Pelham-Webb, A Polyzos, L Wojenski, A Kloetgen… - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
