    Topological stress triggers persistent DNA lesions in ribosomal DNA with ensuing formation of PML-nucleolar compartment

    Alexandra Urbancokova, Terezie Hornofova ... Pavla Vasicova
    Chemotherapeutics altering DNA topology evoke RNA polymerase I inhibition, rDNA damage and consequent formation of PNAs that segregate persistent rDNA lesions from the active nucleolus, with implications for rDNA maintenance and design of new cancer treatment strategies targeting rDNA repair.

    EGF-dependent re-routing of vesicular recycling switches spontaneous phosphorylation suppression to EGFR signaling

    Martin Baumdick, Yannick Brüggemann ... Philippe IH Bastiaens
    Plasticity arising from autocatalytic receptor activation coexists with robustness in ligand responsiveness only by differential endosomal sorting of spontaneous and ligand-activated EGFR as distinct molecular states.

    Evolution of cation binding in the active sites of P-loop nucleoside triphosphatases in relation to the basic catalytic mechanism

    Daria N Shalaeva, Dmitry A Cherepanov ... Armen Y Mulkidjanian
    In potassium-dependent NTPases, insertion of the activating potassium ion into the active site leads to rotation of the gamma-phosphate yielding a near-eclipsed, catalytically productive conformation of the triphosphate chain.

    EPHX1 mutations cause a lipoatrophic diabetes syndrome due to impaired epoxide hydrolysis and increased cellular senescence

    Jeremie Gautheron, Christophe Morisseau ... Isabelle Jeru
    Disruption of epoxide hydrolysis inducing oxidative stress and cellular senescence is a novel mechanism responsible for lipoatrophic monogenic diabetes.

    The tumor suppressor PTPRK promotes ZNRF3 internalization and is required for Wnt inhibition in the Spemann organizer

    Ling-Shih Chang, Minseong Kim ... Christof Niehrs
    Two cancer related proteins, tyrosine phosphatase PTPRK and ubiquitin ligase ZNRF3, interact to downregulate Wnt receptors, thereby regulating Spemann organizer function during Xenopus development.

    PHF19 mediated regulation of proliferation and invasiveness in prostate cancer cells

    Payal Jain, Cecilia Ballare ... Luciano Di Croce
    Depletion of PHF19 in prostate cancer cells leads to an increase in MTF2 and PRC2 chromatin occupancy causing deregulation of key genes critical for proliferation and metastasis.

    Neuroendocrinology of the lung revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

    Christin S Kuo, Spyros Darmanis ... Mark A Krasnow
    Single-cell transcriptomic profiling and systematic analysis of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells identifies over 40 hormones and neuropeptides expressed in myriad combinations, and predicts their targets in mouse and human lung, revealing extraordinary sensory and signaling diversity and potential physiological functions.

    Activation of PTHrP-cAMP-CREB1 signaling following p53 loss is essential for osteosarcoma initiation and maintenance

    Mannu K Walia, Patricia MW Ho ... Carl R Walkley
    The loss of p53 in bone cells activates critical signaling pathways; these are also essential in bone cancer.

    TEADs, Yap, Taz, Vgll4s transcription factors control the establishment of Left-Right asymmetry in zebrafish

    Jonathan Fillatre, Jean-Daniel Fauny ... Bernard Thisse
    Transcription factors downstream of Hippo signaling control formation of the Left-Right Organizer by regulating major signaling pathways, expression of transcription factors and regulators of epigenetic programming involved in this process.
