Nature Structural & Molecular Biology 16, 907 (2009). doi:10.1038/nsmb0909-907
Authors: Yvonne Klaue & Klemens J Hertel
An important aspect of eukaryotic gene expression is the efficient integration of transcription, pre-mRNA processing and nuclear export. A new study demonstrates that pre-mRNA transcript continuity is an essential component for maintaining productive coupling of transcription and RNA processing events.

Author: W Lee Kraus
Macrodomains function as binding modules for metabolites of NAD+, including poly(ADP-ribose). Three new studies explore how binding of poly(ADP-ribose) by the macrodomains of histone variant macroH2A1.1 and the ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling protein ALC1 (also called CHD1L) leads to the modulation of chromatin structure, regulating nuclear functions such as DNA-damage detection and repair.

J Blencowe
Using bioinformatics analysis of previously published global genome deep-sequencing data, two papers now show that DNA sequences associated with nucleosomes are preferentially located in exons. The correlation between nucleosome distribution and the exon-intron organization of genes may have a key role in exon recognition at the pre-mRNA level during co-transcriptional splicing, consistent with previous findings indicating chromatin-mediated regulation of alternative splicing.

The adequate and on-time response of cellular transcription to internal needs and external stimuli is a delicate task. Is the transcriptional regulator p53 on call to permit rapid activation of its target genes? A new study reports interplay of p53 with a previously unidentified regulator, calcineurin-binding protein 1 (Cabin1), and provides evidence for such a mechanism.

Insights into anaphase promoting complex TPR subdomain assembly from a CDC26–APC6 structure

Authors: Jing Wang, Billy T Dye, Kanagalaghatta R Rajashankar, Igor Kurinov & Brenda A Schulman
The multisubunit anaphase promoting complex (APC) is an essential cell-cycle regulator. Although CDC26 is known to have a role in APC assembly, its molecular function has remained unclear. Biophysical, structural and genetic studies presented here reveal that CDC26 stabilizes the structure of APC6, a core TPR protein required for APC integrity. Not...

Bacterial antisense RNAs target translation initiation regions (TIRs) to compete with ribosome binding, thus repressing translation and—secondarily—causing degradation of the naked mRNA. A new study reports on an antisense RNA that directly accelerates mRNA decay by targeting a sequence deep within the coding region, far downstream of the TIR.

Male fruitflies upregulate transcription of nearly all genes on their single X chromosome to equalize expression with the two X chromosomes in females. A new study shows that the distribution of the histone acetylation mark associated with this upregulation is much broader than that of the MSL complex responsible for depositing this mark.
