Histone methylation by PRC2 is inhibited by active chromatin marks [PDF]
, 2013 Chromatin modifiers serve as regulatory switches that control the cell cycle, maintain pluripotency and drive differentiation and development. Positive feedback mechanisms help to pass on transcriptional information from one generation of cells to the ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Nature Communications, 2016 Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) mediates gene silencing through chromatin reorganization by methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). Here, the authors present crystal structures of the inhibitor-bound wild-type and a mutant form of PRC2.

Cooperativity, Specificity, and Evolutionary Stability of Polycomb Targeting in Drosophila
Cell Reports, 2014 Summary: Metazoan genomes are partitioned into modular chromosomal domains containing active or repressive chromatin. In flies, Polycomb group (PcG) response elements (PREs) recruit PHO and other DNA-binding factors and act as nucleation sites for the ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Interiorization and internalization as repressive practices of the subject formation
, 2019 © BEIESP. The article examines the problem of the subject power formation through the prism of structuralist methodology. The subjection concept is used to denote the process of subjectness repressive articulation. Subjection is defined as the discursive

RNA G-quadruplexes mark repressive upstream open reading frames in human mRNAs
, 2017 RNA secondary structures in the 5’ untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNAs have been characterised as key determinants of translation initiation. However the role of non-canonical secondary structures, such as RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4s), in modulating ...

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

G-tract RNA removes Polycomb repressive complex 2 from genes.
, 2020 Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) maintains repression of cell-type-specific genes but also associates with genes ectopically in cancer. While it is currently unknown how PRC2 is removed from genes, such knowledge would be useful for the targeted ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...
