Insulators As Dynamic, Tunable Regulators of Enhancer-Promoter Coordination in Living Drosophila Embryos
Noel Buitrago, César Nieto, Abhyudai Singh, Bomyi Lim
This study shows insulators dynamically enhance enhancer-promoter coordination in Drosophila embryos through looping and coordination of transcriptional bursts.

MYC and AP-1 oncogenes synergistically bind enhancers to rewire transcription
Reshma Kalyan Sundaram, Ravi Radhakrishnan, Bomyi Lim
The paper identifies TRE motifs as indirect MYC binding sites that synergize with AP-1 at enhancers, leading to transcriptional rewiring in cancer.

Heterogeneous Sox2 transcriptional dynamics mediate pluripotency maintenance in mESCs in response to LIF signaling perturbations
Gaochen Jin, Emilia A. Leyes Porello, Jingchao Zhang, Bomyi Lim
This study investigates how LIF signaling perturbations affect Sox2 transcriptional dynamics in mESCs, revealing that reduced Sox2 expression, not complete loss, drives pluripotency loss.

3D dynamics of trans enhancer-promoter interactions in living Drosophila embryos reveals spatiotemporal thresholds for transcription activation
Hao Deng, Philippe Valenti, François Payre, Bomyi Lim
The paper investigates the spatiotemporal requirements for transcription activation by analyzing enhancer-promoter interactions in living Drosophila embryos using transvection and 3D imaging.

Enhancer-promoter competition between homologous alleles leads to reduced transcription in early Drosophila embryos
The paper investigates allelic competition in Drosophila embryos, finding that homozygous alleles produce fewer RNAs than hemizygous alleles due to transcriptional machinery interference.
