    Importance of miRNA stability and alternative primary miRNA isoforms in gene regulation during Drosophila development

    Li Zhou, Mandy Yu Theng Lim ... Katsutomo Okamura
    Selective degradation of mature miRNAs shapes temporal miRNA expression patterns and is important for proper regulation of target genes to support normal development of Drosophila embryos.

    Mechanisms underlying genome instability mediated by formation of foldback inversions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Bin-zhong Li, Christopher D Putnam, Richard David Kolodner
    Genetic analysis combined with whole genome sequencing elucidates mechanisms and pathways that form and prevent a specific class of genome rearrangements, foldback inversions, seen in many human cancers.

    DNA damage checkpoint activation impairs chromatin homeostasis and promotes mitotic catastrophe during aging

    Matthew M Crane, Adam E Russell ... Matt Kaeberlein
    Activation of a DNA-damage cell cycle checkpoint during aging causes genome instability and senescence in yeast mother cells.

    p53 orchestrates DNA replication restart homeostasis by suppressing mutagenic RAD52 and POLθ pathways

    Sunetra Roy, Karl-Heinz Tomaszowski ... Katharina Schlacher
    p53 suppresses genome instability by direct role at stalled replication forks for pathway regulation that explains transcription-independent p53 tumor-suppressor functions.

    eIF1A residues implicated in cancer stabilize translation preinitiation complexes and favor suboptimal initiation sites in yeast

    Pilar Martin-Marcos, Fujun Zhou ... Alan G Hinnebusch
    Substitutions in general translation initiation factor eIF1A found as recurring somatic mutations in uveal melanoma destabilize the closed conformation of the preinitiation complex at the start codon and increase discrimination against suboptimal initiation codons genome-wide.

    Suppressing proteasome mediated processing of topoisomerase II DNA-protein complexes preserves genome integrity

    Nicholas Sciascia, Wei Wu ... André Nussenzweig
    Analysis of genome integrity in primary murine B-cells reveals how depleting 26S proteasome activity enhanced cell survival following treatment with topoisomerase poisons.

    Catastrophic chromosomal restructuring during genome elimination in plants

    Ek Han Tan, Isabelle M Henry ... Simon WL Chan
    Complex chromosomal rearrangements similar to those described in cancer and developmental syndromes occur in plants during postzygotic genome elimination, a centromeric-derived incompatibility.

    Conserved noncoding transcription and core promoter regulatory code in early Drosophila development

    Philippe J Batut, Thomas R Gingeras
    Gene expression timing during Drosophila development is specified by multiple classes of RNA polymerase II core promoters, and the embryonic transcriptome includes thousands of evolutionarily conserved long noncoding RNAs.

    MCMBP promotes the assembly of the MCM2–7 hetero-hexamer to ensure robust DNA replication in human cells

    Yuichiro Saito, Venny Santosa ... Masato T Kanemaki
    The MCM-binding protein (MCMBP) promotes the hexamer assembly of the replicative MCM2–7 helicase by interacting with the nascent MCM3 subunit, playing a key role in achieving high expression levels of the functional MCM2–7 helicase for maintaining genome integrity.
