The formation and maintenance of DNA loops that juxtapose the promoter and terminator regions of RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes and activate transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. A process that is carried out at the cellular level that results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of chromosomes, structures composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins that carries hereditary information. The formation and maintenance of DNA loops that juxtapose the promoter and enhancer regions of RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes and activate transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. The formation and maintenance of DNA loops that juxtapose sequentially separated regions of RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes. Any process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the physical structure of eukaryotic chromatin.
