Abstract

Interactions between cis-acting DNA sequences and trans-acting factors regulate gene expression in eukaryotic cells. In chromatin, these protein-DNA complexes frequently generate DNase I hypersensitive sites, are sometimes organized at or near the bases of chromosomal loops, and can instruct an entire linked domain to memorize the transcriptionally poised state.
