    Role of the pre-initiation complex in Mediator recruitment and dynamics

    Elisabeth R Knoll, Z Iris Zhu ... Randall H Morse
    Genome-wide recruitment of Mediator and Pol II is reduced in yeast lacking the Med2-Med3-Med15 tail module triad, and Mediator association with gene promoters depends on Pol II, Taf1, and TBP.

    Ripply2 recruits proteasome complex for Tbx6 degradation to define segment border during murine somitogenesis

    Wei Zhao, Masayuki Oginuma ... Yumiko Saga
    Inducing presomitic mesoderm (PSM)-fated ES cells clarified that Ripply2 directly interacts with Tbx6 and degrades Tbx6 in proteasome-ubiquitin pathway by recruiting the 26S proteasome, which is a PSM-specific event to define the segment border during mouse somitogenesis.

    Evidence that Mediator is essential for Pol II transcription, but is not a required component of the preinitiation complex in vivo

    Natalia Petrenko, Yi Jin ... Kevin Struhl
    Mediator, a transcriptional coactivator complex, is essential for transcription but is not a required component of a functional preinitiation complex, indicating that Mediator is not equivalent to a general transcription factor.

    The nutrient-sensing GCN2 signaling pathway is essential for circadian clock function by regulating histone acetylation under amino acid starvation

    Xiao-Lan Liu, Yulin Yang ... Xiao Liu
    The nutrient-sensing GCN2 signaling pathway is required for robust circadian rhythm by recruiting the histone acetyltransferase GCN5 to establish a proper chromatin state at the circadian clock gene promoter under amino acid starvation in Neurospora.

    Meiotic cellular rejuvenation is coupled to nuclear remodeling in budding yeast

    Grant A King, Jay S Goodman ... Elçin Ünal
    A meiotic nuclear remodeling event mediates cellular rejuvenation through elimination of senescence factors.

    Direct screening for chromatin status on DNA barcodes in yeast delineates the regulome of H3K79 methylation by Dot1

    Hanneke Vlaming, Thom M Molenaar ... Fred van Leeuwen
    The interrogation of histone modifications on DNA barcodes enables efficient and direct screening for epigenetic regulators in thousands of mutants in parallel.

    Core promoter factor TAF9B regulates neuronal gene expression

    Francisco J Herrera, Teppei Yamaguchi ... Robert Tjian
    An orphan TBP-associated factor, TAF9B, works in conjunction with the histone acetyl-transferase PCAF as transcriptional co-regulators of neuronal differentiation.

    Requirements for RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex formation in vivo

    Natalia Petrenko, Yi Jin ... Kevin Struhl
    The requirements for preinitiation complex formation/stability and transcription by RNA polymerase II in yeast cells are different from those in vitro, thereby altering the current view of basal transcription.

    Constitutive turnover of histone H2A.Z at yeast promoters requires the preinitiation complex

    Michael Tramantano, Lu Sun ... Ed Luk
    The transcription machinery is required for the disassembly of the promoter-proximal H2A.Z nucleosome, contributing to the constitutive histone turnover at yeast promoters.

    Transcriptional drifts associated with environmental changes in endothelial cells

    Yalda Afshar, Feyiang Ma ... M Luisa Iruela-Arispe
    Nearly half of the transcriptome is altered when endothelial cells transition in vitro, expression patterns for some genes are regained by exposing cells to shear stress and others through exposure to smooth muscle cells.
