Title:Keep them close: PRC2 poises enhancer-promoter interactions at anterior neuronal genes
Creators Name:Caglio, Giulia, Torlai Triglia, E. and Pombo, A.
Abstract:Enhancers exist in different epigenetic states: active, primed, or poised. However, it is not yet understood how the different enhancer states influence gene activation. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Cruz-Molina et al. (2017) unravel how poised enhancers activate anterior neural genes and the role of Polycomb proteins in enhancer-promoter contacts.
