hTERT Increases TRF2 to Induce Telomere Compaction and Extend Cell Replicative Lifespan
In contrast to the dogma that a subset of short telomeres initiates senescence, hTERT variants unable to maintain telomere length block senescence by stabilizing TRF2 via inhibiting upstream E3 ubiquitin ligases. This noncanonical hTERT function also compacts telomeres and blocks senescence‐associated DNA damage signaling. Cancer cells expressing hTERT

Chromatin machinery influences how DNA is ‘wrapped’ around histones in the nucleosome of immune and brain cells. Plain language summary: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dmcn.16299 This original article is commented by Thompson on pages 975–976 of this issue. Abstract We report eight children with de novo pathogenic DNA variants in chromatin‐

Under normoxic conditions, the SUMOylated fraction of TFAP2A cannot interact with the Ku70/Ku80 complex, nor it can bind to chromatin. The unSUMOylated fraction pre‐occupies the chromatin of a subset of hypoxia‐induced genes together with the Ku70/Ku80 complex for basal euchromatin formation. Under hypoxic conditions, the SUMOylation equilibrium shifts

Hybridization and gene expression: Beyond differentially expressed genes
Abstract Gene expression has a key role in reproductive isolation, and studies of hybrid gene expression have identified mechanisms causing hybrid sterility. Here, we review the evidence for altered gene expression following hybridization and outline the mechanisms shown to contribute to altered gene expression in hybrids. Transgressive gene expression,

Genetic Architecture of Immune Cell DNA Methylation in the Rhesus Macaque
ABSTRACT Genetic variation that impacts gene regulation, rather than protein function, can have strong effects on trait variation both within and between species. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, are often an important intermediate link between genotype and phenotype, yet genetic effects on DNA methylation remain understudied in natural ...
