   Evolutionary adaptation of an HP1-protein chromodomain integrates chromatin and DNA sequence signals

   Lisa Baumgartner, Jonathan J Ipsaro ... Julius Brennecke

   Genetic and biochemical characterization reveals how a single amino acid change in the chromodomain of the HP1 protein Rhino enables its specific interaction with the guidance factor Kipferl.

   Human DDX6 regulates translation and decay of inefficiently translated mRNAs

   Ramona Weber, Chung-Te Chang

   DDX6 triggers inefficiently translated mRNA decay by interacting with the ribosome through its FDF motif via the 5'-3' mRNA decay pathway.

   Comparative transcriptomics reveal a novel tardigrade-specific DNA-binding protein induced in response to ionizing radiation

   Marwan Anoud, Emmanuelle Delagoutte ... Jean-Paul Concordet

   When exposed to high-dose ionizing radiation, tardigrades undergo extensive DNA damage, like humans, but cope by stimulating expression of DNA repair proteins and of TDR1, a novel tardigrade-specific DNA-binding protein.

   Human promoter directionality is determined by transcriptional initiation and the opposing activities of INTS11 and CDK9

   Joshua D Eaton, Jessica Board ... Steven West

   High-resolution mapping of RNA polymerase II transcripts shows that the directionality of mammalian promoters is determined by preferential transcriptional initiation and the opposing activities of Integrator and CDK9.

   Tardigrades: Surviving extreme radiation

   Chaitra Shree Udugere Shivakumara Swamy, Thomas C Boothby

   Tiny animals known as tardigrades use a combination of DNA repair machinery and a novel protein to mend their genome after intense ionizing radiation.
