    Enhancer regions show high histone H3.3 turnover that changes during differentiation

    Aimee M Deaton, Mariluz Gómez-Rodríguez ... Robert E Kingston
    Nucleosomes at enhancers are unusually dynamic and change histone turnover rates during differentiation.

    Phosphorylation acts positively and negatively to regulate MRTF-A subcellular localisation and activity

    Richard Panayiotou, Francesc Miralles ... Richard Treisman
    G-actin binding controls the susceptibility of MRTF-A to phosphorylation, which works in concert with multiple NES elements to regulate MRTF-A subcellular localisation and activity.

    Tissue damage drives co-localization of NF-κB, Smad3, and Nrf2 to direct Rev-erb sensitive wound repair in mouse macrophages

    Dawn Z Eichenfield, Ty Dale Troutman ... Christopher K Glass
    Combinatorial signaling leads to transcription factor co-localization at Rev-erb sensitive enhancers, enabling a diversified cellular response to complex stimuli.

    Transcription-coupled genetic instability marks acute lymphoblastic leukemia structural variation hotspots

    Merja Heinäniemi, Tapio Vuorenmaa ... Olli Lohi
    Convergent transcription and stalling of transcription are enriched at DNA breakpoints found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and associate with DNA structures and sequences that mediate genetic instability.

    Set1/COMPASS and Mediator are repurposed to promote epigenetic transcriptional memory

    Agustina D'Urso, Yoh-hei Takahashi ... Jason H Brickner
    Epigenetic transcriptional memory employs a novel regulatory strategy to create a heritable poised state by remodeling and repurposing complexes involved in active transcription.

    Metabolic network rewiring of propionate flux compensates vitamin B12 deficiency in C. elegans

    Emma Watson, Viridiana Olin-Sandoval ... Albertha JM Walhout
    The roundworm C. elegans transcriptionally activates five genes comprising an alternate propionate breakdown pathway when dietary vitamin B12 is low or when the canonical pathway is compromised.

    Mapping replication dynamics in Trypanosoma brucei reveals a link with telomere transcription and antigenic variation

    Rebecca Devlin, Catarina A Marques ... Richard McCulloch
    Mapping DNA replication timing, allied to genetic analysis of a RecQ repair helicase, reveals that antigenic variation in the African trypanosome may be initiated by locus-specific, replication-derived sequence instability.

    MutSα maintains the mismatch repair capability by inhibiting PCNA unloading

    Yoshitaka Kawasoe, Toshiki Tsurimoto ... Tatsuro S Takahashi
    Biochemical analysis in Xenopus egg extracts reveals that the MutSα mismatch sensor retains the DNA-bound replication clamp to maintain a post-replicative temporal window permissive to strand-specific repair of mismatches.
