BET inhibition disrupts transcription but retains enhancer-promoter contact

The role of BRD4 and Mediator in regulating enhancer-promoter interactions is poorly understood. Here the authors find that treatment with BET inhibitors or pharmacological degradation of BRD4 disrupts transcription while having very little effect on enhancer-promoter interactions.
