Open DOI
ALFIN-LIKE H3K4me3 reader proteins regulate embryogenesis in Arabidopsis
Development of multicellular organisms requires the precise coordination of gene expression programs. Whereas histone modifications are key regulators of transcriptional states, how these modifications are interpreted during early develo...

SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein hijacks host transcription by targeting eEF1A1
SARS-CoV-2 variants display substantial genetic and phenotypic diversity, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying their effects on host gene regulation need further investigation. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of host responses ...

Esc2 and Rad57 contribute to RNA polymerase II distribution at highly transcribed genes
Transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) must be tightly regulated to maintain gene expression homeostasis, yet how Pol II occupancy is shaped at highly active genes remains incompletely understood. Here, we examine the relationship b...

Gut microbiota shaping fatty liver disease progression
The gut–liver axis is an important regulator of homeostasis, and its dysregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In this review, we summarize current knowledg...

Dysferlin promotes inflammatory macrophage responses and modulates Ca 2+ -dependent STAT1 signaling
Macrophage differentiation and activation shape tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Dysferlin (DYSF) is best known for its role in membrane repair in skeletal muscle, but its function in immune cells remains poorly understood. Here, we ...

Allele-resolved monosome and polysome sequencing identifies cis-variants affecting mRNA translation
To prioritize germline genetic variants affecting mRNA fate at the translational level, we used sucrose gradient–based isolation of 80S monosomes and polysomes, followed by RNA sequencing in RPE-1 cells, under mock and nutlin treatment c...

The ROCK1 PHC1 domain mediates recruitment to Rho activity zones and contractility signaling
The spatiotemporal regulation of cell contraction is crucial for numerous biological processes. In particular, local, subcellular contraction pulses in the cell cortex contribute to mechanotransduction and tissue rearrangements during em...

Autolysosomal enhancer GHF201 attenuates pathophysiology in a mucopolysaccharidosis type I mouse model
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I) is a hereditary lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) leading to pathogenic over-accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), major constituent o...

Plasmodium protein kinase 2 is required for ookinete-to-oocyst transition and parasite transmission
Plasmodium parasites rely on diverse protein kinases to regulate critical processes, yet many remain uncharacterised. Protein kinase 2 (PK2) is required for asexual blood-stage proliferation and merozoite invasion, but its role in sexual...

Haplotype-resolved genome of a dry-preservable cell line reveals chromosome evolution and DNA damage
Anhydrobiosis, the ability to survive extreme desiccation, occurs in diverse organisms and provides a framework for understanding how cells preserve genome integrity under severe water loss. In insects, this phenotype is rare, and mechan...
