    A spontaneous genetically induced epiallele at a retrotransposon shapes host genome function

    Tessa M Bertozzi, Nozomi Takahashi ... Anne C Ferguson-Smith
    A retrotransposon-derived recombination event in inbred mice gives rise to an epiallele and tissue-specific phenotypes.

    Dynamic spreading of chromatin-mediated gene silencing and reactivation between neighboring genes in single cells

    Sarah Lensch, Michael H Herschl ... Lacramioara Bintu
    In a synthetic system, spreading of chromatin-mediated silencing to nearby genes depends on distance and can bypass genetic insulators, while reactivation after release of gene targeting is coordinated by insulators and promoters.

    Co-regulation and function of FOXM1/RHNO1 bidirectional genes in cancer

    Carter J Barger, Linda Chee ... Adam R Karpf
    FOXM1 is co-expressed with its bidirectional gene partner RHNO1, and the two genes promote DNA repair, cell growth and survival, and chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer.

    Release of human cytomegalovirus from latency by a KAP1/TRIM28 phosphorylation switch

    Benjamin Rauwel, Suk Min Jang ... Didier Trono
    Inactivation of KAP1 by mTOR-mediated phosphorylation releases human cytomegalovirus from latency, and has the potential to be used as a therapy to purge the virus from transplant organs.

    A functional genetic toolbox for human tissue-derived organoids

    Dawei Sun, Lewis Evans ... Emma L Rawlins
    To facilitate human developmental biology research, CRISPR-mediated homologous recombination, tightly inducible gene knockdowns (CRISPRi) and overexpression (CRISPRa) have been efficiently applied to human organoids.

    YOD1/TRAF6 association balances p62-dependent IL-1 signaling to NF-κB

    Gisela Schimmack, Kenji Schorpp ... Daniel Krappmann
    The deubiquitinating enzyme YOD1 binds to the E3 ligase TRAF6 to counteract p62/sequestosome1 mediated pro-inflammatory NF-κB signaling in response to interleukin-1.

    T-REX17 is a transiently expressed non-coding RNA essential for human endoderm formation

    Alexandro Landshammer, Adriano Bolondi ... Alexander Meissner
    Discovery of a novel long non-coding RNA overlapping the distal SOX17 enhancer (eSOX17) that plays an essential role in human endoderm development.

    Maximizing CRISPRi efficacy and accessibility with dual-sgRNA libraries and optimal effectors

    Joseph M Replogle, Jessica L Bonnar ... Marco Jost
    Newly developed, highly active CRISPR interference single guide RNA libraries and effectors together enable high-quality genetic screens across cell models.

    Ceapins block the unfolded protein response sensor ATF6α by inducing a neomorphic inter-organelle tether

    Sandra Elizabeth Torres, Ciara M Gallagher ... Peter Walter
    Ceapins specifically inhibit the unfolded protein sensor ATF6α by directly tethering the cytosolic domain of ATF6α to ABCD3 in cells and in vitro.

    Retro-2 protects cells from ricin toxicity by inhibiting ASNA1-mediated ER targeting and insertion of tail-anchored proteins

    David W Morgens, Charlene Chan ... Michael C Bassik
    Using a suite of CRISPR technologies, unique chemical tools, and carefully designed biochemical and cell biological assays, we define the mechanism of action of Retro-2, an inhibitor of retrograde toxins.
