    Dcp2 C-terminal cis-binding elements control selective targeting of the decapping enzyme by forming distinct decapping complexes

    Feng He, Chan Wu, Allan Jacobson
    Dcp2 C-terminal domain cis-regulatory elements collaborating with specific activators control decapping enzyme targeting and activation by orchestrating sequential assembly of distinct decapping complexes.

    Transcription elongation is finely tuned by dozens of regulatory factors

    Mary Couvillion, Kevin M Harlen ... L Stirling Churchman
    NET-seq analysis of 41 S. cerevisiae transcription regulatory factors uncovers their differential and opposing effects on Pol II transcription elongation and antisense transcription, revealing that wild-type transcription is balanced by the joint impact of many regulators.

    Target binding triggers hierarchical phosphorylation of human Argonaute-2 to promote target release

    Brianna Bibel, Elad Elkayam ... Leemor Joshua-Tor
    The central RNA interference protein, human Argonaute-2, releases its target following phosphorylation on a critical loop in the protein, freeing microRNA-bound Argonaute-2 to seek out and repress additional targets.

    Oct4 differentially regulates chromatin opening and enhancer transcription in pluripotent stem cells

    Le Xiong, Erik A Tolen ... Hans R Schöler
    Time-resolved multiomics analysis during Oct4 depletion and recovery reveals concentration-dependent activities of Oct4 in controlling enhancer transcription and chromatin accessibility in mouse embryonic stem cells.

    CREB5 reprograms FOXA1 nuclear interactions to promote resistance to androgen receptor-targeting therapies

    Justin H Hwang, Rand Arafeh ... William C Hahn
    A comprehensive molecular interrogation of CREB5 interactions identified changes in protein and chromatin interactions of FOXA1 that promoted therapy resistance in prostate cancer cells.

    Binary outcomes of enhancer activity underlie stable random monoallelic expression

    Djem U Kissiov, Alexander Ethell ... David H Raulet
    Evidence that enhancer strength determines the extent of random monoallelic gene expression, and that even lineage defining genes thought to be expressed by all cells in a lineage display some degree of random monoallelic expression.

    Mitotically heritable, RNA polymerase II-independent H3K4 dimethylation stimulates INO1 transcriptional memory

    Bethany Sump, Donna G Brickner ... Jason H Brickner
    During epigenetic transcriptional memory in budding yeast, histone H3 lysine 4 dimethylation - dependent on Nup1000 and independent of RNA polymerase II - regulates binding of a critical transcription factor and, once established, is mitotically heritable for at least four cell divisions.

    DNA-PK promotes DNA end resection at DNA double strand breaks in G0 cells

    Faith C Fowler, Bo-Ruei Chen ... Jessica K Tyler
    Molecular analyses and unbiased CRISPR screens reveal that extensive end resection occurs in quiescent cells after inducing DNA double strand breaks, in a manner dependent on DNA-PK.

    A transcriptomic atlas of Aedes aegypti reveals detailed functional organization of major body parts and gut regional specializations in sugar-fed and blood-fed adult females

    Bretta Hixson, Xiao-Li Bing ... Nicolas Buchon
    RNAseq profiles of female Aedes body parts, gut regions, and blood-fed guts provide insight into the anatomical patterning of immune and digestive function, and demonstrate the sequential induction of multiple peptidase cohorts over the course of blood meal digestion.

    Cohesin-dependence of neuronal gene expression relates to chromatin loop length

    Lesly Calderon, Felix D Weiss ... Matthias Merkenschlager
    Cohesin is required for the expression of neuronal genes that engage in long chromatin loops, while short-range enhancer-promoter loops can form in the absence of cohesin.
