A Topbp1 mutant mouse reveals a non-canonical role for the ATR-TOPBP1 signaling axis in meiosis, separating ATR signaling and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation from sex body formation.

NMR spectroscopy, dCypher assays, and CUT&RUN demonstrate that occlusion of the histone tails in the nucleosome context alters histone PTM specificity for a tandem of reader domains.
Chromatin profiling of Drosophila testes reveals activation of the transcriptional program of the germline, widespread changes in RNA polymerase progression, and the absence of chromosomal regulation across the X chromosome.

The transcriptional regulator ZMYM2 homes to distinct classes of retrotransposons bound by the TRIM28 and ChAHP chromatin complexes in human cells, which is broadly relevant in the transcriptional regulation field.
In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana genome dynamic exchanges of histone variants control the organization of histone modifications into chromatin states, acting as molecular landmarks.

Inhibition of type I PRMTs increases the proliferation capabilities of MuSCs with altered cellular metabolism, while maintaining their stem-like properties such as self-renewal and engraftment potential.
Histone deacetylase 1 (Hdac1) plays a crucial role in maintaining differential histone acetylation states of enhancers in various germ layers and regulates the transcriptional program both temporally and spatially.
Histone H3 can translocate to the nucleus as a monomer through a pathway governed by importin-5 and transfers to the histone chaperone NASP, having implications in the folding of H3-H4 dimers and, therefore, the kinetics of genome packaging during replication.
The general transcription factor TFIIH complex promotes the establishment and maintenance of chromosome structure during mitosis by altering the chromatin environment to allow for proper loading and function of the condensin complexes on chromatin.
