BRD4 recruitment desilences transcription without erasure or depletion of repressive chromatin

Christopher J. Brandon, Sarah Robinson-Thiewes, Mangesh H. Kaulage, Wojciech Rosikiewicz, Matthew J. Cuneo, Joseph Brett, Jindpreet Kandola, Walter H. Lang, Jonathan A. Low, Ashraf Mohammed, Adithi Danda, Sam Rider, M Valentine, Jason Ochoada, Brandon Michael Young, , Aseem Z. Ansari

This study shows that BRD4 recruitment can desilence transcription within repressive chromatin without removing H3K9me3 or HP1, challenging conventional models of chromatin regulation.

Reconciling competing models on the roles of condensates and soluble complexes in transcription factor function

Anne Bremer, Walter H. Lang, Ryan P. Kempen, Kumari Sweta, Aaron B. Taylor, Madeleine B. Borgia, Aseem Z. Ansari, Tanja Mittag

This study compares two models of transcription factor function in yeast, showing that Gcn4 can act through both soluble complexes and condensates, with DNA binding suppressing phase separation.
