A novel class of polymorphic toxins in BacteroidetesBacteria often use toxins to mediate their interaction with the environment. This study reveals a new class of polymorphic toxins, which contain an N-terminal TANFOR domain, in Bacteroidetes.
CSDE1 controls gene expression through the miRNA-mediated decay machineryCSDE1 is a new component of miRNA-induced silencing complex and interacts with DCP1–DCP2 decapping machinery with potential roles in miRNA-mediated target degradation.
BACH family members regulate angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis by modulating VEGFC expressionOur work highlights BACH family of transcription factors as a novel regulator of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis during zebrafish embryonic development and tumor expansion.
Structures of SALSA/DMBT1 SRCR domains reveal the conserved ligand-binding mechanism of the ancient SRCR foldThe structures of SALSA SRCR domains 1 and 8 reveal a cation-dependent mechanism for ligand recognition, contributing to important roles in the immune system and cellular signalling. The cation-binding sites are conserved across all SRCR domains, suggesting conserved functional mechanisms.
MagnEdit—interacting factors that recruit DNA-editing enzymes to single base targetsThis study reports a new, non-covalent strategy—called MagnEdit—that attracts the DNA cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B to a Cas9-directed site for C-to-T editing.
Keratinocyte interleukin-36 receptor expression orchestrates psoriasiform inflammation in miceIL-36 stimulation of keratinocytes orchestrates key pathogenic inflammatory responses in psoriatic skin.
Splicing of enhancer-associated lincRNAs contributes to enhancer activityAnalysis of enhancer-associated lincRNA transcripts shows their efficient and conserved splicing contributes to cognate enhancer activity and cis-regulation of target gene expression.
Transglutaminase 2 mediates hypoxia-induced selective mRNA translation via polyamination of 4EBPsThis study highlights the role of transglutaminase 2 in selective mRNA translation of hypoxic cancer cells by polyamination-dependent modulation of 4EBPs, providing a target for cancer treatment.
SLX4IP and telomere dynamics dictate breast cancer metastasis and therapeutic responsivenessAn unbiased genetic screen established SLX4IP as an essential driver of telomere maintenance mechanism identity, metastatic progression, and therapeutic response of breast cancers.
The iron–sulfur helicase DDX11 promotes the generation of single-stranded DNA for CHK1 activationThe iron–sulfur cluster helicase DDX11 promotes the generation of ssDNA and the phosphorylation of CHK1 at serine-345, possibly by unwinding replication-dependent DNA secondary structures.
