Targeting β-catenin degradation with GSK3β inhibitors induces cell death in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Cosgun et al. show that, in B cell leukemia, β-catenin expression is maintained at low levels through glycogen synthase kinase 3B (GSK3β)-mediated phosphorylation. Inhibition of GSK3β results in β-catenin–Ikaros–NuRD complex formation, leading to B-ALL cell death through MYC repression.

Cell-cycle-dependent repression of histone gene transcription by histone H4

Ahmad et al. show that soluble histone H4 binds at histone genes and acts as a repressor of their expression. These findings suggest that histone H4 is a sensor of ongoing DNA replication. Ongoing chromatin assembly uses up soluble H4 and relieves histone gene repression; however, once DNA replication ceases, soluble H4 accumulates and represses the histone genes.
