J-domain proteins stimulate PKL-mediated chromatin compaction at H3K4-hypomethylated genomic loci

This study identifies J-domain proteins that interact with PKL to compact chromatin at H3K4-hypomethylated regions, repressing developmentally regulated genes during key transitions in Arabidopsis.

The SAS Chromatin-Remodeling Complex Mediates Inflorescence-Specific Chromatin Accessibility for Transcription Factor Binding

The SAS chromatin-remodeling complex establishes inflorescence-specific chromatin accessibility at distal promoter and upstream intergenic regions, enabling transcription factor binding during flower development.

A Dapl1+ subpopulation of naive CD8 T cells contains committed precursors of memory lineage.

The paper identifies a Dapl1+ subset of naive CD8 T cells that are pre-programmed to differentiate into memory-like T cells.

Co-recognition of histone acetylation and H3K4 trimethylation by GTE4-EML complex in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies a GTE4-EML complex in Arabidopsis that cooperatively recognizes histone acetylation and H3K4me3 to regulate gene transcription.

The Arabidopsis histone H3K4me3-binding ALFIN-like proteins mediate histone H2A ubiquitination and coordinate diverse chromatin modifications

This study identifies ALFIN-like proteins in Arabidopsis that bind H3K4me3 and mediate H2A ubiquitination, integrating multiple chromatin modifications.
