    A global change in RNA polymerase II pausing during the Drosophila midblastula transition

    Kai Chen, Jeff Johnston ... Julia Zeitlinger
    The first zygotic genes are transcribed without RNA polymerase II pausing from a TATA-enriched promoter.

    Mechanism of life-long maintenance of neuron identity despite molecular fluctuations

    Joleen JH Traets, Servaas N van der Burght ... Jeroen S van Zon
    Differential binding kinetics of a master regulator to its target promoters can prevent spontaneous cell fate loss in a Caenorhabditis elegans neuron whose fate is controlled by a reversible switch.

    Epidermal LysM receptor ensures robust symbiotic signalling in Lotus japonicus

    Eiichi Murakami, Jeryl Cheng ... Simona Radutoiu
    Functional analyses provide evidence for a complex Nod factor signalling where NFRe is necessary for maintaining an optimal symbiotic signalling in the susceptible root zone, and initiation of nodule primordia on the expanding root system.

    The Arabidopsis active demethylase ROS1 cis-regulates defence genes by erasing DNA methylation at promoter-regulatory regions

    Thierry Halter, Jingyu Wang ... Lionel Navarro
    Active DNA demethylation at some defence gene promoters is causal for DNA binding of WRKY transcription factors as well as for transcriptional activation of these genes during plant immune response.

    An incoherent feedforward loop facilitates adaptive tuning of gene expression

    Jungeui Hong, Nathan Brandt ... David Gresham
    The architecture of a gene regulatory network determines the effect of evolutionary changes in transcription factor binding.

    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.

    Viral RNA switch mediates the dynamic control of flavivirus replicase recruitment by genome cyclization

    Zhong-Yu Liu, Xiao-Feng Li ... Cheng-Feng Qin
    A conserved element in the flavivirus genomic 5′ terminus switches its conformation in response to long-range RNA interactions, and thereby regulates the dynamic recruitment of viral replicase for efficient viral RNA replication.
