Core promoters restrict pleiotropic enhancer inputs to achieve spatiotemporal specificity in gene expression

Margarita Masoura, Deevitha Balasubramanian, C. Moretti, Laëtitia Cadet, Matéo Lison, Hélène Tarayre, Damien Lajoignie, Clara Cretet-Rodeschini, Claudie Carron, Juliette Mendes, Séverine Vincent, Carlos Aguirre Flores, Pedro Borges Pinto, Yad Ghavi-Helm

The paper shows core promoters restrict enhancer inputs to achieve spatiotemporal specificity in gene expression using the Drosophila twist E3 enhancer as a model.

A short 3'UTR motif regulates gene expression in bilaterians

Ana Eufrásio, Joana Azevedo, Joana Machado, Alexandre Oliveira Ferreira, Ana Moutinho, Filipe Henriques, Ana Isabel Moreira de Jesus, Joana Tavares, Isabel Pereira‐Castro, Joana Teixeira, Mafalda Araújo, Pedro Borges Pinto, José Bessa, Alexandra Moreira

The paper identifies a conserved 3'UTR motif that regulates gene expression across bilaterians and shows its association with human disease.

Enhancer-promoter interactions form independently of genomic distance and are functional across TAD boundaries

Pedro Borges Pinto, Alexia Grasso, Deevitha Balasubramanian, Séverine Vincent, Hélène Tarayre, Damien Lajoignie, Yad Ghavi-Helm

The paper shows enhancer-promoter interactions can occur across TAD boundaries and large genomic distances, challenging the idea that TADs strictly constrain such interactions.
