This study shows MeCP2 binds methylated DNA in nucleosomes via linker DNA interactions beyond its canonical methyl binding domain, revealing a new mechanism for chromatin DNA methylation recognition.

This study investigates how NF45-NF90 heterodimers bind and coat long dsRNA, revealing structural changes and implications for RNA processing.

This study identifies a molecular mechanism by which condensin is recruited to pericentromeres through a conserved interaction between Ycg1 and Sgo1, ensuring proper chromosome segregation.

The paper identifies PLK1-mediated phosphorylation of Mis18 and Mis18BP1 as essential for activating the Mis18 complex to ensure CENP-A loading and centromere inheritance.
