    Heat Shock Factor 1 forms nuclear condensates and restructures the yeast genome before activating target genes

    Linda S Rubio, Suman Mohajan, David S Gross
    In response to ethanol stress, the yeast transcription factor Hsf1 forms nuclear condensates and drives the coalescence of target genes prior to their transcriptional activation while in response to thermal stress these three phenomena are tightly coordinated.

    A comparative study of the cryo-EM structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)

    Ester Vazquez-Fernandez, Jing Yang ... David Barford
    The yeast APC/C cryo-EM structure reveals substantial similarities with the human APC/C structure but also important differences in mechanisms of phosphorylation-dependent regulation and activation by coactivators.

    Transcriptional inhibition after irradiation occurs preferentially at highly expressed genes in a manner dependent on cell cycle progression

    Zulong Chen, Xin Wang ... Jessica K Tyler
    Genetic, cellular, and molecular analyses reveal that the reduced abundance of total nascent transcripts that occurs after irradiation is largely due to the repression of histone and rRNA encoding genes.

    Regulatory genome annotation of 33 insect species

    Hasiba Asma, Ellen Tieke ... Marc S Halfon
    Over 2.8 million tissue-specific gene regulatory sequences are predicted for 33 insect genomes, using a simple computational workflow with only the genome sequence and a basic gene annotation as input.

    The zinc-finger transcription factor Sfp1 imprints specific classes of mRNAs and links their synthesis to cytoplasmic decay

    Moran Kelbert, Antonio Jordán-Pla ... Mordechai Choder
    Class-specific transcription factor links transcription backtracking with cytoplasmic mRNA decay via co-transcriptional interaction with nascent transcripts.

    An anciently diverged family of RNA binding proteins maintain correct splicing of a class of ultra-long exons through cryptic splice site repression

    Chileleko Siachisumo, Sara Luzzi ... David J Elliott
    A family of RNA binding proteins that diverged 200 million years ago have parallel roles in protecting the transcriptomic integrity of ultra-long exons within their respective cell types.

    Transcription factor condensates, 3D clustering, and gene expression enhancement of the MET regulon

    James Lee, Leman Simpson ... Lu Bai
    The condensates of activator Met4 are associated with 3D clustering of the MET regulon and its enhanced expression.
