摘要
Transient mechanical stresses induced by molecular motors that move DNA can propagate through the chromatin fiber and trigger local DNA alterations that in turn allow for specific DNA-protein interactions. Hence, DNA supercoiling modulations and chromatin conformational dynamics concur in gene regulation.
