Class I histone deacetylases (HDAC1-3) are histone lysine delactylases

Di Zhang, Alexander Lund Nielsen, Carlos Moreno Yruela

Lysine L-lactylation [K(L-la)] is a newly discovered histone mark stimulated under conditions of high glycolysis, such as the Warburg effect. K(L-la) is associated with functions that are different from the widely studied histone acetylation. While K(L-la) ...

Epigenetic plasticity as a signature for memory allocation

Giulia Santoni

Long-lasting memories are stored in a small set of neurons scattered throughout the brain, so-called engram cells. To define a stable engram each region of the brain involved in memory storage recruits between 5 and 20 percent of excitatory neurons. In par ...

Transposable elements contribute to the spatiotemporal microRNA landscape in human brain development

Didier Trono, Shaoline Sheppard, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Christopher James Playfoot

Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to the evolution of gene regulatory networks and are dynamically expressed throughout human brain development and disease. One gene regulatory mechanism influenced by TEs is the miRNA system of post-transcriptional co ...

Natural competence of the pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii: an elusive phenomenon

Nina Vesel

Natural competence for transformation is an important driver of horizontal DNA exchange between different organisms. This can result in accumulation of dangerous genetic features, such as antibiotic resistance genes, in a single organism. One example of an ...

Essential role of Cp190 in physical and regulatory boundary formation

Christian Iseli, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Julien Dorier

Boundaries in animal genomes delimit contact domains with enhanced internal contact frequencies and have debated functions in limiting regulatory cross-talk between domains and guiding enhancers to target promoters. Most mammalian boundaries form by stalli ...

Mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction disrupts intracellular cholesterol homeostasis

Christopher Tadhg James Wall

Mitochondrial diseases are rare and severe conditions with debilitating symptoms. Biochemical defects in mitochondria however are common. The difference between these two frequencies is suspected to lie in the capability of the cells to adapt to the homeos ...

Systematic analysis of low-affinity transcription factor binding site clusters in vitro and in vivo establishes their functional relevance

Sebastian Maerkl, Ivan Istomin, Evan James Olson, Shiyu Cheng, Amir Shahein, Maria Lopez Malo

Binding to binding site clusters has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional relevance of low-affinity clusters remains uncertain. We characterized transcription factor binding to low-affinity clusters in vitro and found that transcription fac ...

Toward a mechanistic understanding of variable chromatin modules

Gerard Llimos Aubach

Our genome is a long sequence of DNA that contains all the information to be able to constitute a living organism like us, similarly to what the letters in a book do to create a story. This sequence, which is a stretch of molecules called nucleotides, is a ...

Sequential in cis mutagenesis in vivo reveals various functions for CTCF sites at the mouse HoxD cluster

Denis Duboule, Leonardo Beccari, Lucille Delisle, Jozsef Zakany

In this study, Amandio et al. sought to understand the functions of the highly conserved CTCF sites distributed over the Hox gene clusters. The authors produced an allelic series of cumulative in cis mutations in these sites, up to the abrogation of CTCF b ...

Induction of a chromatin boundary in vivo upon insertion of a tad border

Denis Duboule, Marie-Laure Gadolini, Christopher Chase Bolt, Lucille Delisle, Edgardo Rodriguez Carballo

Author summary During development, enhancer sequences tightly regulate the spatio-temporal expression of target genes often located hundreds of kilobases away. This complex process is made possible by the folding of chromatin into domains, which are separa ...
