Canonical WNT signaling-dependent gating of MYC requires a noncanonical CTCF function at a distal binding site

Gene-gating of a MYC oncogenic super-enhancer (OSE) increases its expression in colon cancer cells in a poorly understood process. Here the authors show that MYC gating requires a CTCF binding site (CTCFBS) within the OSE that directs the stepwise trafficking of the OSE to the nuclear pore to facili...

Description
Summary:Gene-gating of a MYC oncogenic super-enhancer (OSE) increases its expression in colon cancer cells in a poorly understood process. Here the authors show that MYC gating requires a CTCF binding site (CTCFBS) within the OSE that directs the stepwise trafficking of the OSE to the nuclear pore to facilitate increased nuclear export of MYC mRNA, which results in a growth advantage.
