Regulation of eukaryotic transcription is a complex process that enables precise temporal and spatial control of gene expression. Promoters, which are cis-regulatory elements (CREs) located proximal to the transcription start site (TSS), selectively integrate regulatory cues from distal CREs, or enhancers, and their associated transcriptional machinery. In this review, we discuss current knowledge regarding CRE cooperation and competition impacting gene expression, including features of enhancer-promoter, enhancer-enhancer, and promoter-promoter interplay. We also provide an overview of recent insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms that facilitate physical and functional interaction of regulatory elements, such as the involvement of enhancer RNAs and biomolecular condensates. |
