    Chromatin-associated RNA sequencing (ChAR-seq) maps genome-wide RNA-to-DNA contacts

    Jason C Bell, David Jukam ... Aaron F Straight
    ChAR-seq is a massively parallelized de novo RNA mapping assay, which is capable of generating hundreds to thousands of RNA-binding maps with no a priori knowledge of target RNAs.

    Unique integrated stress response sensors regulate cancer cell susceptibility when Hsp70 activity is compromised

    Sara Sannino, Megan E Yates ... Jeffrey L Brodsky
    Unique integrate stress response sensors differentially trigger pro-survival versus pro-apoptotic responses in cells confronted with Hsp70 inhibitor-associated proteotoxic challenges.

    The Drosophila Nab2 RNA binding protein inhibits m6A methylation and male-specific splicing of Sex lethal transcript in female neuronal tissue

    Binta Jalloh, Carly L Lancaster ... Ken Moberg
    The disease-associated RNA binding protein Nab2 is required to inhibit m6A RNA methylation in female Drosophila neuronal tissue and controls key splicing events such as sex-specific splicing of the Sex-lethal RNA.

    H3K4 mono- and di-methyltransferase MLL4 is required for enhancer activation during cell differentiation

    Ji-Eun Lee, Chaochen Wang ... Kai Ge
    MLL4 (KMT2D) is a major mammalian H3K4 mono- and di-methyltransferase that is essential for enhancer activation, cell-type-specific gene expression, and cell differentiation.

    State-specific morphological deformations of the lipid bilayer explain mechanosensitive gating of MscS ion channels

    Yein Christina Park, Bharat Reddy ... José D Faraldo-Gómez
    A theory is presented that explains why some ion channels tend to open in response to membrane stretching, which posits that channel closing is disfavored by the morphological energetics of the lipid bilayer, and increasingly so under lateral tension.

    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.

    Tryparedoxin peroxidase-deficiency commits trypanosomes to ferroptosis-type cell death

    Marta Bogacz, R Luise Krauth-Siegel
    Ferroptosis is an evolutionary ancient process that is counterbalanced by distant peroxidases, GPx4 in mammals and tryparedoxin peroxidases in trypanosomes, and can be induced at distinct subcellular membranes depending on the individual cell type.

    The role of RNA in the maintenance of chromatin domains as revealed by antibody-mediated proximity labelling coupled to mass spectrometry

    Rupam Choudhury, Anuroop Venkateswaran Venkatasubramani ... Axel Imhof
    Proximity biotinylation of the Drosophila centromere suggests a role of RNA helicases, centromeric transcripts, and centromeric R-loops for centromere function.

    PPM1H phosphatase counteracts LRRK2 signaling by selectively dephosphorylating Rab proteins

    Kerryn Berndsen, Pawel Lis ... Dario R Alessi
    PPM1H protein phosphatase dephosphorylates Rab proteins modulating LRRK2 signalling.

    Rapid binding to protofilament edge sites facilitates tip tracking of EB1 at growing microtubule plus-ends

    Samuel J Gonzalez, Julia M Heckel ... Melissa K Gardner
    Computational modeling combined with biophysical and cellular experiments reveal that rapid binding to incomplete, partial microtubule binding sites facilitates tracking of the end-binding protein EB1 with growing microtubule plus-ends.
