Figure 2. Model for lncRNAs-mediated chromatin modifications in a three-dimensional context. The lncRNA (green) may contact specific chromatic regions (gray) placed in proximity by the three-dimensional organization of the genome. The contact can be direct or mediated by another protein (purple). lncRNA may then recruit the chromatin modifier and promote epigenetic modifications to regulate gene expression.
