    Massively parallel reporter assay for mapping gene-specific regulatory regions at single-nucleotide resolution

    Alastair J Tulloch, Ryan Nicholas Delgado ... Constance L Cepko
    Integrated locus-specific and mutational MPRAs reveal regulatory modules and nucleotide determinants governing cell type-specific gene expression, providing a scalable framework for mapping cis-regulatory architecture.

    The chromatin remodeller CHD4 regulates transcription factor binding to both prevent activation of silent enhancers and maintain active regulatory elements

    Andria Koulle, Oluwaseun Ogundele ... Brian Hendrich
    CHD4 directly limits transcription factor binding to chromatin, which prevents activation of silent or cryptic enhancers but facilitates activity of active enhancers.

    Structural characterisation of chromatin remodelling intermediates supports linker DNA-dependent product inhibition as a mechanism for nucleosome spacing

    Amanda L Hughes, Ramasubramanian Sundaramoorthy, Tom Owen-Hughes
    Structures of the chromatin remodelling enzyme Chd1 during ongoing reactions reveal a reaction pathway tuned to generate nucleosome spacing similar to that observed in cells.

    ATAD2 mediates chromatin-bound histone chaperone turnover

    Ariadni Liakopoulou, Fayçal Boussouar ... Saadi Khochbin
    ATAD2 orchestrates histone turnover during spermatogenesis, regulating H3.3 deposition, chromatin condensation, and genome packaging to ensure proper sperm genome organization and transcriptional control.

    Chromosomes: Finding a role for non-coding DNA in trypanosomes

    Markus R Schmidt
    Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

    Short activation domains control chromatin association of transcription factors

    Vinson B Fan, Abrar A Abidi ... Max V Staller
    Single-molecule tracking of transcription factors in living cells revealed how mutations that make short activation domains stronger increased the fraction of transcription factor molecules bound to chromatin and led to longer residence times on chromatin.

    Degradation of LMO2 in T cell leukaemia results in collateral breakdown of transcription complex partners and causes LMO2-dependent apoptosis

    Naphannop Sereesongsaeng, Carole Bataille ... Terence Rabbitts
    Antibody surrogate degraders of LMO2 indicate that transcription complexes are susceptible to drug discovery and are therefore druggable.
