SPIN1 selectively silences evolutionarily young transposable elements through chromatin regulation

Hiromi Yamada, Chikara Takeuchi, Clive S. Barker, Nayuta Yakushiji‐Kaminatsui, Aoi Shibuya, Koshi Imami, Haruhiko Koseki, Yuka W. Iwasaki

This study identifies SPIN1 as a chromatin regulator that selectively represses young transposable elements in mouse embryonic stem cells through histone modification recognition.

Mod(mdg4) variants repress telomeric retrotransposonHeT-A by blocking subtelomeric enhancers

Chikara Takeuchi, Moe Yokoshi, Shu Kondo, Aoi Shibuya, Kuniaki Saito, Takashi Fukaya, Haruhiko Siomi, Yuka W. Iwasaki

The paper shows Mod(mdg4)-N variants repress HeT-A retrotransposons by blocking subtelomeric enhancers in Drosophila ovarian cells, leading to female sterility.

Nuclear RNA export factor variant initiates piRNA-guided co-transcriptional silencing

Kensaku Murano, Yuka W. Iwasaki, Hirotsugu Ishizu, Akane Mashiko, Aoi Shibuya, Shu Kondo, Shungo Adachi, Saori Suzuki, Kuniaki Saito, Tohru Natsume, Mikiko C. Siomi, Haruhiko Siomi

The paper identifies Nxf2 as a key component in the Piwi-piRNA pathway, showing it forms complexes that stabilize Piwi and Panx and initiate co-transcriptional silencing of target transcripts.
