PLK1 Signaling in Breast Cancer Cells Cooperates with Estrogen Receptor-Dependent Gene Transcription
Cell Reports, 2013 Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a key regulator of cell division and is overexpressed in many types of human cancers. Compared to its well-characterized role in mitosis, little is known about PLK1 functions in interphase.

Mechanical determinants of chromatin topology and gene expression
Nucleus, 2022 The compaction of linear DNA into micrometer-sized nuclear boundaries involves the establishment of specific three-dimensional (3D) DNA structures complexed with histone proteins that form chromatin.

From Linear Genes to Epigenetic Inheritance of Three-dimensional Epigenomes [PDF]
, 2011 Fifty years ago Jacob and Monod reported their findings on the regulation of gene activity. Working on lambda bacteriophage lysogeny and the regulation of the production of an enzyme that cleaves lactose, they observed that its production was induced by ...

SWI/SNF catalytic subunits’ switch drives resistance to EZH2 inhibitors in ARID1A-mutated cells
Nature Communications, 2018 The mechanism of resistance to EZH2 inhibitors in cancers with inactivating SWI/SNF mutations is unknown. Here, the authors demonstrate that the switch of the SWI/SNF catalytic subunits from SMARCA4 to SMARCA2 drives resistance to EZH2 inhibitors in ...

TENT2, TUT4, and TUT7 selectively regulate miRNA sequence and abundance
Nature Communications, 2022 The authors reveal insights into miRNA tailing specificity of TENTs and their effect on miRNA levels by combinatory KOs of TENT2, TUT4 and TUT7. They show uridylation is linked to TENT2 and identify non-redundant functions between TUT4 and TUT7.

Four-way regulation of mosquito yolk protein precursor genes by juvenile hormone-, ecdysone-, nutrient-, and insulin-like peptide signaling pathways. [PDF]
, 2014 Anautogenous mosquito females require a meal of vertebrate blood in order to initiate the production of yolk protein precursors by the fat body. Yolk protein precursor gene expression is tightly repressed in a state-of-arrest before blood meal-related ...

The ribosomal protein RACK1 is required for microRNA function in both C. elegans and humans [PDF]
, 2011 Despite the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in gene regulation, it is unclear how the miRNA-Argonaute complex-or miRNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC)-can regulate the translation of their targets in such diverse ways.

miRNAs as Regulators of Antidiabetic Effects of Fucoidans [PDF]
, 2019 open access articleDiabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with a high mortality rate worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), and other small noncoding RNAs, serve as endogenous gene regulators through binding to specific sequences in RNA and modifying gene ...
