Predictive design of tissue-specific mammalian enhancers that function in the mouse embryo

Researchers used AI to design synthetic transcriptional enhancers that are active in specific tissues in mammals and validated their function in mice. This type of approach could enable advanced gene expression control in synthetic biology and gene therapy.

Galanin impairs tumor immunity in glioblastoma by promoting infiltration and ferroptosis resistance of myeloid-derived suppressor cells

Chen and colleagues report that the neuropeptide galanin impairs antitumor immunity in glioblastoma by interacting with its receptor GALR3 on monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells, promoting their infiltration and ferroptosis resistance.

Hydrophobic interactions of FG-nucleoporins are required for dilating nuclear membrane pores into selective transport channels after mitosis

Zhang et al. show that FG-nucleoporins self-assemble through hydrophobic interactions to dilate newly assembling nuclear pores after mitosis, enabling nuclear import and nuclear expansion, which in turn remodel the nuclear envelope.

Nucleosomes and IDRs suppress promiscuous GCN4 binding on minichromosomes

Wei et al. measure single-molecule kinetics of transcription factor GCN4 on purified yeast minichromosomes to reveal that both nucleosomes and transcription factor intrinsically disordered regions facilitate GCN4 target search on native chromatin by shortening its promiscuous binding.

DNA Repair Enzymes Favor Specific Genome Sequences, Study Finds

An unhealed wound leaves a scar. In the genome, an unrepaired DNA lesion leaves a mutation — a permanent edit to the genetic code. Mutations can...
