Abstract
Here the authors show mutation of the BAF chromatin remodeler subunit ARID1A results in an ARID1B-dependent upregulation of HERVH, an ERV required for the pluripotency regulatory network. These HERVH RNAs can partition into BRD4 foci, affecting BRD4-dependent transcription. Suppression of HERVH in colorectal cancer cells and patient-derived organoids impairs tumor growth.
