ChIP-seq and phenotypic analyses reveal Atrophin from Drosophila directly regulates Notch and Dpp signaling components, and engrailed gene expression, via interactions with GAGA Factor.
Molecular mechanism that Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus improves the lipid metabolism and fecundity of Diaphorina citri through adipokinetic hormone and its receptor.
TRIM28 was found to be a versatile dual-function latency contributor by bridging both suppressive epigenetic modifications and RNAP II transcriptional-pausing, and can be a novel target to develop latency-reversing agents.
Spatial factors generate neuroblast-specific open chromatin, thereby biasing the subsequent binding of transcription factors to produce neuroblast-specific neurons.
HDAC SUMOylation promotes the association of other chromatin remodeling factors with the nuclear Argonaute WAGO-9, which is required for de novo heterochromatin silencing.
The combination of theoretical modeling and quantitative live imaging revealed that the repressor proteins work cooperatively or anti-cooperatively depending on enhancer architecture.

Interplay between protein concentration, DNA binding and remodeling of the chromatin landscape in early embryogenesis determines how a single transcription factor can specify multiple distinct gene expression states.
