    SERBP1 interacts with PARP1 and is present in PARylation-dependent protein complexes regulating splicing, cell division, and ribosome biogenesis

    Kira Breunig, Xuifen Lei ... Luiz O Penalva
    SERBP1 is associate with protein complexes regulating splicing, cell division, and ribosomal biogenesis that likely depend on G quadruplex (G4) binding and polyADP-ribosylation (PARylation) for their assembly and function.

    Alzheimer-mutant γ-secretase complexes stall amyloid β-peptide production

    Parnian Arafi, Sujan Devkota ... Michael S Wolfe
    Further evidence in support of a new amyloid-independent hypothesis for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is provided, with an expanded set of Alzheimer-causing mutations in the protease that produces amyloid.

    Mediator kinase inhibition suppresses hyperactive interferon signaling in Down syndrome

    Kira A Cozzolino, Lynn Sanford ... Dylan J Taatjes
    The Mediator-associated kinases CDK8 and CDK19 help drive inflammatory responses to interferon, and it is discovered that kinase-dependent transcriptional responses manifest in part through splicing changes and lipid metabolites.

    MftG is crucial for ethanol metabolism of mycobacteria by linking mycofactocin oxidation to respiration

    Ana Patrícia Graça, Vadim Nikitushkin ... Gerald Lackner
    The mftG gene, present in the majority of mycofactocin gene clusters, encodes an oxidoreductase that facilitates ethanol utilization by reoxidation of mycofactocins and channeling electrons towards the respiratory chain.

    eIF3 engages with 3’-UTR termini of highly translated mRNAs

    Santi Mestre-Fos, Lucas Ferguson ... Jamie HD Cate
    The extent of human eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF3 interaction with the 3' ends of mRNA 3' untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) correlates with the level of translation.
