The paper shows proteasomes degrade repressive transcription factors, freeing chromatin for activator binding and enabling gene expression and cell fate decisions.

The paper reveals a temporal control mechanism driven by coupled ribosomes that enables the formation of intertwined protein dimers by bypassing closed monomeric states.

This study shows that altering nuclear import in early Xenopus laevis embryos delays gastrulation, causes morphological defects, and affects organismal size.
