“…Because loops and loop complexes are associated with RNA Polymerase ll, it is concluded that they form “transcription factories” (TFs) ( Figure 2D ; Schoenfelder et al, 2009 ; Sutherland and Bickmore, 2009 ; Concia et al, 2020 ). These factories are assumed to include many other molecules, such as coactivators, chromatin remodelers, transcription factors, histone modification enzymes, RNPs, RNAs, non-coding RNAs, helicases, splicing, and processing factors associated with transcription and RNA processing ( Tsai et al, 2020 ; Bertero, 2021 ). It has been proposed that genes and nearby sequences become clustered into a TF by their common affinity for and accessibility to specific transcription factors, RNA polymerases, and other cofactors ( Figure 2D ).…”
