MeCP2 on the Brain: Repressing Transcription of Long Highly Methylated Genes

December 17, 2019

It seems that everyone has MeCP2 on the brain – as evidenced by its starring role in two new Molecular Cell papers – but it’s in your brain too! The MeCP2 protein is essential for neuronal function and consistent with this, loss-of-function mutations in MeCP2 cause the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome. Unfortunately, because MeCP2 acts […]

Stressed Out Histone Modifications Mediate Lifespan Extension

December 14, 2019

While we have always thought of stress as something that will send us an early grave, fascinating new findings now suggest that early life stress may actually prevent such a dreaded fate. New research from the stress-resilient team in the lab Ursula Jakob (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) has now linked increased levels […]

Epigenetic Couch Potatoes: Running isn’t on the Resolution Radar of Rodents This Year Thanks to DNA Methylation

December 11, 2019

The year is coming to an end and you know what that means — it’s time to promise yourself that next year is your year to get fit. But if you’re one of the many who never quite live up to their lofty activity goals, don’t be too hard on yourself; your epigenetics may be […]

Cancer Cells Get in Shape Using Circular Extrachromosomal DNA with Highly Accessible Chromatin

December 3, 2019

Cancer cells run rings around their normal counterparts in terms of proliferation, survival, migration, and aggressivity to devastating effect, but how do cancer cells get themselves “in shape” to allow for these strenuous activities? Previously, researchers led by Howard Y. Chang (Stanford University), Bing Ren, Vineet Bafna, and Paul S. Mischel (University of California at […]

There’s CoREST for the Wicked: An Epigenetic Switch for Social Behavior in Worker Ants

November 23, 2019

“All work and no play” is the norm for carpenter ants, where epigenetically distinct workers spend their days toiling away for their genetically identical colony-mates. The two classes of worker ants, minor workers who forage for food and major workers who protect the colony, differ in their size and appearance, but new research suggests that […]

Inside Job: dCas9 Hijacks Endogenous Chromatin Machinery to Modulate Gene Expression

November 22, 2019

In the newest spy movie hitting theaters this month, undercover agents sneak inside the innermost sanctum of fortress walls to hijack nuclear weapons…err nuclear machinery to upregulate gene expression. Spoiler alert, we’ll even reveal the agents’ identities: it’s catalytically dead Cas9 (dCas9) with a small molecule associate, teaming up to complete the mission. While other […]
