TL;DR: DNMT3L recognizes histone H3 tails that are unmethylated at lysine 4 and induces de novo DNA methylation by recruitment or activation of DNMT3A2, and substitution of key residues in the binding site eliminated the H3 tail–DN MT3L interaction.

TL;DR: Protein S-nitrosylation is established as a physiological signalling mechanism for neuronally generated NO in mice harbouring a genomic deletion of neuronal NO synthase (nNOS).

TL;DR: The findings position the Ras/MAPK pathway upstream of the TSC complex and suggest that Erk may modulate mTOR signaling and contribute to disease progression through phosphorylation and inactivation of TSC2.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that engagement of a subset of Toll-like receptors results in the recruitment of mitochondria to macrophage phagosomes and augments mROS production, revealing a novel pathway linking innate immune signalling to mitochondria, implicate mR OS as an important component of antibacterial responses and further establish mitochondria as hubs for innate immune signaling.

TL;DR: A novel polypeptide highly related to the metastasis-associated protein 1, MTA2, and the methyl-CpG-binding domain-containing protein, MBD3, were found to be subunits of the NuRD complex, which may provide a means of gene silencing by DNA methylation.
