The cooperative action of PAF15 deubiquitylation by USP7 and its dissociation from chromatin by ATAD5 regulates proper PAF15Ub2 signaling termination, which is important for replication and maintenance of DNA methylation.

METRIS is a method that reports a mechanical readout of protein-protein interactions and due to its unique properties, it will allow many protein-protein interactions to be quantitatively measured easily that are currently laborious to measure with conventional methods.

Coevolution analysis suggests that a DNA methylation-related role for the nucleosome remodeling ATPase HELLS and its activator CDCA7 was broadly inherited from the last eukaryotic common ancestor.
In vitro model of germline specification in marmosets established by directed differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells, which transcriptionally resemble pre-migratory primordial germ cells in vivo.

A structural element of mRNA exit channel protein Rps5 performs a critical role in start codon recognition during translation initiation by stabilizing initiator tRNA binding to the pre-initiation complex.
A novel comparative genomics framework identifies MECP2 network proteins targeted by existing drugs, with three drugs validated in an in vitro Rett syndrome model.
