  • In this issue of Nature Metabolism, the research team of Mitchell Lazar reveals unexpected consequences of double loss of the coregulators NCOR1 and NCOR2 (NCOR1/2) in hepatocytes of adult mice, which affects chromatin functioning and glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-mediated gene transcription.

    Nature Metabolism
    P: 1-2
  • A recent study visualizes how enhancer–transcriptional condensate–gene interactions augment gene expression.

    Research Highlights
    Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
    Volume: 25, P: 159
  • Carl G. de Boer highlights a recent paper by Lim et al. on the importance low-affinity transcription factor-binding sites for determining organismal phenotypes.

  • In a paper in Nature, Hua et al. report the Micro-Capture-C method for near-base-pair resolution characterization of chromosomal interactions in mammalian cells.

    Volume: 22, P: 481
  • A study in Nature Genetics shows that genomic rearrangements that cause extensive changes to chromatin topology do not alter expression for the majority of genes.

  • Transcription of enhancer RNA at intragenic enhancers can attenuate the expression of the host gene.

    Research Highlights
    Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
    Volume: 18, P: 715
  • Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) activity is tightly controlled. This report shows that hTERT is primarily regulated by alternative splicing; skipping of exon 2 triggers decay of TERT mRNA in differentiated cells and its retention promotes telomere maintenance in pluripotent cells.

    Nature Reviews Genetics
    Volume: 22, P: 414
  • A PRE/TRE is shown to alter gene expression by transcribing two mutually exclusive ncRNAs from opposing DNA strands in different tissues during development. The transcription activating ncRNA was shown to bind PcGin vivoand to inhibit its function.

    • Linda Koch
    Research Highlights
    Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
    Volume: 15, P: 630-631
  • A study in Science suggests that regeneration-responsive enhancers drive a regeneration response programme (RRP) in killifish and zebrafish and that changes in RRPs might have facilitated the loss of regenerative capacity in vertebrates.

    • Katharine H. Wrighton
    Research Highlights
    Nature Reviews Genetics
    Volume: 21, P: 718-719
  • A report in Molecular Cell describes short capped RNA sequencing (scaRNA-seq), which is used to show that, in differentiating cells, enhancers predominantly regulate gene expression by modulating transcription initiation, and not pause release as previously supposed.

  • A new study in Science has mapped regulatory elements for major cell types of the human brain to help elucidate the transcriptional mechanisms underlying their developmental and functional properties in health and disease.

  • Nair et al. contrast events at specific super-enhancers after acute and chronic ligand-induced activation and show that biomolecular condensates at these enhancers undergo physical changes over time that affect chromatin conformation and gene expression.

  • SET specifically binds to the unacetylated form of p53 to repress p53-mediated transcriptional activation.
