Integrative analysis reveals extensive interactions among C2H2 zinc finger proteins at chromatin loop anchors

The paper identifies extensive interactions among C2H2 zinc finger proteins at chromatin loop anchors using ChIP-seq, interactome data, and chromatin interaction maps.

ZNF121 recruits YTHDF2 to modulate mRNA stability

The paper identifies ZNF121 as a cofactor that enhances YTHDF2-mediated mRNA decay by facilitating its binding to target transcripts, thereby modulating mRNA stability and cell-cycle regulation.

Regulation of transcription termination by FUS and TDP-43

This study shows that TDP-43 and FUS are recruited by the R1810me2s-SMN pathway, and their defects affect RNAPII termination and R-loop accumulation, contributing to neurodegenerative disorders.

Recruitment of the m6A/Am demethylase FTO to target RNAs by the telomeric zinc finger protein ZBTB48

This study identifies ZBTB48 as a regulator of FTO's substrate selectivity by facilitating its binding to m6A/m6Am-containing RNAs, affecting RNA decay and cancer cell growth.

SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein attenuates stress granule formation and alters gene expression via direct interaction with host mRNAs

This study identifies SARS-CoV-2 N protein interactions with host proteins and mRNAs, showing it attenuates stress granule formation and alters gene expression.
