    Dynamic 1D search and processive nucleosome translocations by RSC and ISW2 chromatin remodelers

    Jee Min Kim, Claudia C Carcamo ... Carl Wu
    Single-particle imaging of RSC and ISW2 chromatin remodelers on DNA stretched between dual optical tweezers reveals distinctive 1D diffusion and opposing push–pull nucleosome translocation on engagement with sparse nucleosome arrays.

    Histone H2B ubiquitylation represses gametogenesis by opposing RSC-dependent chromatin remodeling at the ste11 master regulator locus

    Philippe Materne, Enrique Vázquez ... Damien Hermand
    Building on previous work (Materne et al., 2015), it is shown that the ubiquitylation of histone H2B represses cell differentiation by opposing chromatin remodeling at the promoter of the master regulator of gametogenesis, ste11

    Stepwise nucleosome translocation by RSC remodeling complexes

    Bryan T Harada, William L Hwang ... Xiaowei Zhuang
    Single molecule FRET reveals that the SWI/SNF-family remodeling enzyme RSC translocates nucleosomes along the DNA in steps of ~1-2 base pairs in size.

    Loss of Tsc1 in cerebellar Purkinje cells induces transcriptional and translation changes in FMRP target transcripts

    Jasbir Singh Dalal, Kellen Diamond Winden ... Mustafa Sahin
    Tsc1 mutation in cerebellar Purkinje cells leads to downregulation of synapse genes that are targets of the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein.

    Multi-protein bridging factor 1(Mbf1), Rps3 and Asc1 prevent stalled ribosomes from frameshifting

    Jiyu Wang, Jie Zhou ... Elizabeth J Grayhack
    An eukaryotic specific system cooperates with the ribosome quality control pathway to maintain the reading frame during translation of slowly translated sequences.

    An abundant quiescent stem cell population in Drosophila Malpighian tubules protects principal cells from kidney stones

    Chenhui Wang, Allan C Spradling
    Drosophila renal stem cells are exceptional in abundance, require induction to produce a single cell type, principal cells, and mitigate damage during adulthood associated with external stresses.

    Integrin β4 promotes DNA damage-related drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer via TNFAIP2/IQGAP1/RAC1

    Huan Fang, Wenlong Ren ... Ceshi Chen
    TNFAIP2 was found to interact with IQGAP1 and Integrin β4, which activates RAC1 through TNFAIP2 and IQGAP1 and confers DNA damage-related drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer.

    Rac1 GTPase activates the WAVE regulatory complex through two distinct binding sites

    Baoyu Chen, Hui-Ting Chou ... Michael K Rosen
    The cryo-electron microscopy structure of an assembly of the WAVE Regulatory Complex and its activator, the Rac GTPase, plus complementary biochemistry and biophysics, reveal a novel activation mechanism involving two distinct Rac binding sites.

    Tsc2 disruption in mesenchymal progenitors results in tumors with vascular anomalies overexpressing Lgals3

    Peter J Klover, Rajesh L Thangapazham ... Thomas N Darling
    Tsc2 inactivation in mouse mesenchymal progenitors produced tumors with vascular anomalies reminiscent of human angiomyolipomas, and a gene expression signature in Tsc2-deficient tissues which included Lgals3, as a novel potential biomarker for TSC1/2 loss.

    Alpha protocadherins and Pyk2 kinase regulate cortical neuron migration and cytoskeletal dynamics via Rac1 GTPase and WAVE complex in mice

    Li Fan, Yichao Lu ... Qiang Wu
    A general cytoplasmic signaling mechanism for the novel functions of diverse alpha protocadherins in cortical neuron migration and actin cytoskeletal dynamics as well as dendrite morphogenesis in the brain.
