TCDD induces multigenerational alterations in the expression ofmicroRNA in the thymus through epigenetic modifications Singh Narendra P et al. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a potent AhR ligand, is an environmental contaminant that is known for mediating toxicity across generations. However, whether TCDD can induce multigenerational changes in the expression of miRNAs (miRs) has not been previously studied. In the current study, we investigate... |
The histone acetyltransferase KAT6A is recruited to unmethylatedCpG islands via a DNA binding winged helix domain. Weber L.M. et al. The lysine acetyltransferase KAT6A (MOZ, MYST3) belongs to the MYST family of chromatin regulators, facilitating histone acetylation. Dysregulation of KAT6A has been implicated in developmental syndromes and the onset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Previous work suggests that KAT6A is recruited to its genomic targ... |

Cryptococcal Hsf3 controls intramitochondrial ROS homeostasis byregulating the respiratory process. Gao X.et al. Mitochondrial quality control prevents accumulation of intramitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species (mtROS), thereby protecting cells against DNA damage, genome instability, and programmed cell death. However, underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood, particularly in fungal species. Here, we show that... |
Dominant role of DNA methylation over H3K9me3 for IAP silencingin endoderm. Wang Z. et al. Silencing of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is largely mediated by repressive chromatin modifications H3K9me3 and DNA methylation. On ERVs, these modifications are mainly deposited by the histone methyltransferase Setdb1 and by the maintenance DNA methyltransferase Dnmt1. Knock-out of either Setdb1 or Dnmt1 leads to... |
HDAC1 and PRC2 mediate combinatorial control in SPI1/PU.1-dependentgene repression in murine erythroleukaemia. Gregoricchio S. et al.

Here, we investigated the mechanisms underlying gene repression in the erythroid lineage, in which SPI1 ... |
Dual role of histone variant H3.3B in spermatogenesis: positiveregulation of piRNA transcription and implication in X-chromosomeinactivation. Fontaine E. et al. The histone variant H3.3 is encoded by two distinct genes, H3f3a and H3f3b, exhibiting identical amino-acid sequence. H3.3 is required for spermatogenesis, but the molecular mechanism of its spermatogenic function remains obscure. Here, we have studied the role of each one of H3.3A and H3.3B proteins in spermatogene... |

Epromoters function as a hub to recruit key transcription factorsrequired for the inflammatory response Santiago-Algarra D. et al. Gene expression is controlled by the involvement of gene-proximal (promoters) and distal (enhancers) regulatory elements.

Here, we hypothesized that Epromoters play a... |
Decreased PRC2 activity supports the survival of basal-like breastcancer cells to cytotoxic treatments Mieczkowska IK et al. Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer occurring in women but also rarely develops in men. Recent advances in early diagnosis and development of targeted therapies have greatly improved the survival rate of BC patients.

Altered Chromatin States Drive Cryptic Transcription in AgingMammalian Stem Cells. McCauley Brenna S et al. A repressive chromatin state featuring trimethylated lysine 36 on histone H3 (H3K36me3) and DNA methylation suppresses cryptic transcription in embryonic stem cells. Cryptic transcription is elevated with age in yeast and nematodes, and reducing it extends yeast lifespan, though whether this occurs in mammals is unk... |
Metabolically controlled histone H4K5 acylation/acetylation ratiodrives BRD4 genomic distribution. Gao M. et al. In addition to acetylation, histones are modified by a series of competing longer-chain acylations. Most of these acylation marks are enriched and co-exist with acetylation on active gene regulatory elements. Their seemingly redundant functions hinder our understanding of histone acylations' specific roles. Here, by... |
