An unbiased proteomics approach in human cells identifies ZC3H4 and shows that it is important for controlling the transcription of unstable RNA synthesized upstream of promoters and over enhancers.
Dot1l and its H3K79 methyltransferase activity are required for thermogenesis, and Dot1l is recruited by Zc3h10 to its targets genes to alter chromatin accessibility to activate the thermogenic gene program.

A robust procedure to purify mRNAs and their associated proteins identify CFB2 as the critical protein that binds and influences the fate of the main virulence factor in Trypanosoma brucei.
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.

The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase complex in budding yeast is highly conserved, yet reconfigured with respect to its mammalian counterpart and has both m6A-dependent and m6A-independent functions.
Regnase-1, an RNase suppressing proinflammatory mRNAs, interacts with 14-3-3, which diminishes cytokine mRNA recognition and the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of Regnase-1 under inflammatory conditions.
Circulating high-molecular-weight (cHMW) adiponectin levels increased with age until centenarians, and the contribution of known major factors associated with cHMW adiponectin levels including BMI varied with age, suggesting that its physiological significance also varies with age in the oldest old.
