---|---|---|
TFs | Sequence-specific TFs that bind enhancers directly and other TFs recruited via protein-protein interactions—classified into distinct structural and functional groups | |
General Transcription Factors (GTFs) | ||
Architectural proteins | Chromatin enriched with histone H3K4me1, H3K27ac; H3.3, H2Az | [94] |
Cohesin, Condensin, CTCF | ||
Coregulators | Mediator complex | |
Chromatin remodeling complexes and chromatin-modifying enzymes (“writers” and “erasers” of post-translational modifications) | [99] | |
Integrator complex | [100] | |
Steroid receptor coactivators and other coregulators of TFs | ||
Effector proteins | Proteins that “read” histone post-translational modifications | |
Catalytic enzymes | RNAPII and associated enzymes | [93] |
Other enzymes (RNA exosome complex; PARP-1; Topoisomerase-1; TET2, etc.) |
