title: A new cohesive team to mediate DNA looping.
abstract: To control cell-type specific gene expression, transcription factors bound at distant enhancer sites need to come into the vicinity of promoters. In a recent Nature article, Kagey et al. (2010) provide evidence that Mediator and Cohesin protein complexes cooperate in the formation of enhancer-promoter DNA loops.
