Human FACT complex coordinates cohesin and transcription on chromatin

The spatial organisation of eukaryotic genomes is critical for coordinating DNA-dependent processes such as transcription and replication. Cohesin contributes to this organisation by extruding chromatin loops; however, how cohesin achieves processive translocation along nucleosome-dense chromatin in vivo remains poorly understood. Here, we identify the histone chaperone FACT as a regulator of…
