| Name | transcription initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling |
| ID | GO_0045815 |
| collection_id | Biological process |
| Alternative ID | GO:0048096 |
| Exact synonym | chromatin-mediated maintenance of transcription, epigenetic maintenance of chromatin in transcription-competent conformation, maintenance of chromatin in transcription-competent conformation, transciptional initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling, transciptional initiation-coupled chromatin remodelling, transcription initiation coupled chromatin remodeling, transcription initiation coupled chromatin remodelling, transcriptional initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling, transcriptional initiation-coupled chromatin remodelling |
| Description | An epigenetic mechanism of regulation of gene expression that involves chromatin remodeling to capacitate gene expression by either modifying the chromatin fiber, the nucleosomal histones, or the DNA. |
| Related synonym | DNA replication-independent chromatin organization, euchromatin assembly, euchromatin organisation, euchromatin organization, long-term maintenance of gene activation |
| Comment | This regulation is exemplified by members of the trithorax group, which maintain the active state of homeotic gene transcription. Do not confuse with GO:0140673 ; transcriptional elongation-coupled chromatin remodeling, which describes the reforming of chromatin after RNA polymerase II passage. |
