Abstrakt: | Serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor essential for cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration and is required for primitive streak and mesoderm formation in the embryo. The canonical roles of SRF are mediated by a diverse set of context-dependent cofactors. Here, we show that SRF physically interacts with CTCF and cohesin subunits at topologically associating domain (TAD) boundaries and loop anchors. SRF promotes long-range chromatin loop formation and contributes to TAD insulation. In embryonic stem cells (ESCs), SRF associates with SOX2 and NANOG and contributes to the formation of three-dimensional (3D) pluripotency hubs. Our findings reveal additional roles of SRF in higher-order chromatin organization. Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests.
