DNA methylation suppresses H2A.Z deposition by inhibiting recruitment of the chaperone SRCAP, while the structural study suggests that methylated DNA can make the H2A.Z nucleosome slightly more accessible.
Systematic characterization of terminating ribosomes uncovers sequence features influencing ribosome dynamics at stop codons with direct implications in 3' UTR translation.
Gaseous CO2 acts as a neuron to glia messenger in peripheral myelin to trigger opening of Schwann Cell Cx32 hemichannels in response to axonal action potential propagation.
