    Dynamic modes of Notch transcription hubs conferring memory and stochastic activation revealed by live imaging the co-activator Mastermind

    F Javier DeHaro-Arbona, Charalambos Roussos ... Sarah Bray
    Live imaging of the Notch co-activator Mastermind reveals that it promotes the formation of a dynamic transcription hub in Notch ON nuclei, conferring probabilistic transcription and providing a template for signal memory.

    Ribosome subunit attrition and activation of the p53–MDM4 axis dominate the response of MLL-rearranged cancer cells to WDR5 WIN site inhibition

    Gregory Caleb Howard, Jing Wang ... William P Tansey
    Analysis of the action of WDR5 inhibitors in leukemia cells reveals decreased ribosome inventory, impaired protein synthesis, induction of nucleolar stress, and activation of p53 via alternative splicing of MDM4.

    Foxp3 depends on Ikaros for control of regulatory T cell gene expression and function

    Rajan M Thomas, Matthew C Pahl ... Andrew D Wells
    Foxp3 and Ikaros, two transcription factors genetically linked to autoimmune disease in humans, cooperate to establish the epigenomic and transcriptomic landscape of regulatory T cells.

    Heat stress impairs centromere structure and segregation of meiotic chromosomes in Arabidopsis

    Lucie Crhak Khaitova, Pavlina Mikulkova ... Karel Riha
    The sensitivity of Arabidopsis meiotic centromeres to heat stress suggests that centromere function is one of the key determinants of plant reproduction under rising temperatures.
