RACK7 Senses and Fine-Tunes Enhancer Activity [TT-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Enhancers regulate dynamic gene expression in a spatiotemporal specific manner. A number of positive as well as negative regulators of enhancers have been reported so far. However, whether and how these regulators sense enhancer activity dynamics remains unclear. In this study, we show that a specific enhancer regulator, RACK7, swiftly re-distributes from repressed enhancers to activated enhancers in response to a plethora of acute stimulations. We further show that this process depends on transcription and RACK7 positively regulates enhancer activation by promoting the recruitment of RNA polymerase II. Taken together, our findings suggest that RACK7 senses enhancer activity changes and facilitates their activation during acute stimulations.
