Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of dUTPase from the helper phage Φ11 of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
, 2011 Staphylococcus aureus superantigen-carrying pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) have a determinant role in spreading virulence genes among bacterial populations that constitute a major health hazard.

E2A selectively regulates TGF‐β–induced apoptosis in KRAS‐mutant non‐small cell lung cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Ability to induce apoptosis by TGF‐β is frequently lost in advanced lung adenocarcinoma despite intact TGF‐β signaling. We identify E2A as a mutant KRAS–dependent mediator of resistance to TGF‐β–induced apoptosis. TGF‐β induces E2A via SMAD3 in mutant KRAS cells, and E2A silencing restores apoptosis and enhances radiation response in cell lines ...

Transcriptional silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: known unknowns
Epigenetics & ChromatinTranscriptional silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a persistent and highly stable form of gene repression. It involves DNA silencers and repressor proteins that bind nucleosomes.

PCGF5 is required for neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells
Nature Communications, 2018 Polycomb-group proteins are key regulators of transcriptional programs that maintain cell identity. Here the authors provide evidence that PCGF5, a subunit of Polycomb Repressor Complex 1, is important for the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem ...

Stochastic Gene Expression in Single Gene Oscillator Variants [PDF]
, 2016 It is infeasible to understand all dynamics in cell, but we can aim to understand the impact of design choices under our control. Here we consider a single gene oscillator as a case study to understand the influence of DNA copy number and repressor ...

Finding the center reliably: robust patterns of developmental gene expression
, 2005 We investigate a mechanism for the robust identification of the center of a developing biological system. We assume the existence of two morphogen gradients, an activator emanating from the anterior, and a co-repressor from the posterior.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Nature Communications, 2016 Plant responses to auxin require proteasome-mediated degradation of Aux/IAA transcriptional repressor proteins. Here, Yang et al. show that auxin suppresses proteasome activity in a manner dependent on the proteasome regulator PTRE1 and propose a ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Both cg12821679MAPRE3 methylation and MAPRE3 expression are significantly associated with overall survival (OS) of non‐small cell lung cancer. Meanwhile, MAPRE3 expression significantly modified the effect of smoking cessation on OS. Smoking cessation benefits OS merely for patients with high MAPRE3 expression.

Engineering novel CRISPRi repressors for highly efficient mammalian gene regulation
Genome BiologyBackground CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), the repurposing of the RNA-guided endonuclease dCas9 as a programmable transcriptional repressor, allows highly specific repression (knockdown) of gene expression.
