Mammalian genomes are organized into multiple layers of higher-order chromatin structure, and in this organization chromatin looping is a striking and crucial feature that brings together distal genomic loci into close spatial proximity. Such three-dimensional organization of chromatin has been suggested to be functionally important in gene regulation. Many important questions need to be addressed, such as what types of nuclear proteins are responsible for folding chromatin into loops, whether there are any genomic marks that serve as the core sites of chromatin folding events, how distal genomic sites are brought together, and what are the biological consequences for interactions between distal genomic loci. In order to address these fundamental questions, it is essential to devise and employ methods that can capture higher-order structures formed by specific nuclear proteins at high resolution. In this article, in order to describe methods of analyzing protein-mediated chromatin interactions, we will use as an example a global genome-organizer protein, SATB1, which mediates chromatin looping.
