Enhancers have more cofactor specificity than we think: A potential new way to classify enhancers based on their functional cofactor requirements

Abstract

By systematically assessing the effects of depleting eight cofactors on enhancer activity, Neumayr et al. (2022) found that different enhancers have different requirements for some perceived universal cofactors. While some cofactors influence enhancer strength, others affect enhancer-promoter specificity.
