A synthetic transcription factor pair mimic for precise recruitment of an epigenetic modifier to the targeted DNA locus

Abstract

We developed an epigenetically active, cooperative DNA binding transcription factor platform assisted by cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) host–guest modules. This new type of molecule termed ePIP–HoGu not only mimics the operation of transcription factors as a pair but also recruits the epigenetic modifier to a particular DNA locus.
