    A new family of cell surface located purine transporters in Microsporidia and related fungal endoparasites

    Peter Major, Kacper M Sendra ... Robert P Hirt
    Transporters shared by fungal intracellular parasites provide new insights into the evolution of nucleotide and energy parasitism.

    Moderate nucleotide diversity in the Atlantic herring is associated with a low mutation rate

    Chungang Feng, Mats Pettersson ... Leif Andersson
    The Atlantic herring has the lowest mutation rate yet estimated in a vertebrate species and this partially explains its moderate nucleotide diversity given the large population size.

    Activation mechanism of ATP-sensitive K+ channels explored with real-time nucleotide binding

    Michael Puljung, Natascia Vedovato ... Frances Ashcroft
    A combined FRET- and electrophysiology-based approach is used to study ATP/ADP ADP binding to the stimulatory nucleotide binding site of ATP-sensitive K+ channels and investigate their activation mechanism.

    Ligand discrimination and gating in cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels from apo and partial agonist-bound cryo-EM structures

    Jan Rheinberger, Xiaolong Gao ... Crina M Nimigean
    High resolution SthK channel cryo-EM structures in different ligand-bound states combined with single-channel functional data in the same conditions constrain a gating mechanism for CNG channels.

    CTCF confers local nucleosome resiliency after DNA replication and during mitosis

    Nick Owens, Thaleia Papadopoulou ... Pablo Navarro
    In contrast to other transcription factors, CTCF and Esrrb rapidly regain binding after replication and remain bound to their targets during mitosis, preserving local nucleosome organization throughout the cell cycle.

    High-resolution and high-accuracy topographic and transcriptional maps of the nucleosome barrier

    Zhijie Chen, Ronen Gabizon ... Carlos Bustamante
    Direct observation of RNA Polymerase II transcription through a single nucleosome at near basepair resolution suggests a mechanism for selective control of gene expression.

    Glucose inhibits cardiac muscle maturation through nucleotide biosynthesis

    Haruko Nakano, Itsunari Minami ... Atsushi Nakano
    During cardiogenesis, the major role of glucose is not the catabolic extraction of energy but the anabolic biosynthesis of nucleotides.

    Arabidopsis FORGETTER1 mediates stress-induced chromatin memory through nucleosome remodeling

    Krzysztof Brzezinka, Simone Altmann ... Isabel Bäurle
    Environmentally-mediated gene induction is extended beyond the duration of an external cue by sustaining a nucleosome-depleted chromatin structure.

    Nucleosome-CHD4 chromatin remodeler structure maps human disease mutations

    Lucas Farnung, Moritz Ochmann, Patrick Cramer
    The structure of the chromatin remodeller CHD4 bound to a nucleosome reveals differences to the known Chd1-nucleosome complex and maps cancer mutations.

    Detection of new pioneer transcription factors as cell-type-specific nucleosome binders

    Yunhui Peng, Wei Song ... Anna R Panchenko
    A computational method has been developed for predicting the cell-type-specific binding of transcription factors to nucleosomes, and involves integration of ChIP-seq, MNase-seq, and DNase-seq data with details of nucleosome structure.
