Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of Serine 10 in Histone H3 Is Functionally Linked In Vitro and In Vivo to Gcn5-Mediated Acetylation at Lysine 14

TL;DR: Observations suggest that transcriptional regulation occurs by multiple mechanistically linked covalent modifications of histones, including serine 10 to alanine in the histone H3 tail.
Journal ArticleDOI

The RNA Polymerase II Core Promoter – the Gateway to Transcription

TL;DR: The core promoter is a sophisticated gateway to transcription that determines which signals will lead to transcription initiation and may contain many different sequence motifs that specify different mechanisms of transcription and responses to enhancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-homeostatic body weight regulation through a brainstem-restricted receptor for GDF15

TL;DR: This work identifies glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor receptor alpha-like (GFRAL) as a brainstem-restricted receptor for growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), and identifies a mechanistic basis for the non-homeostatic regulation of neural circuitry by a peripheral signal associated with tissue damage and stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sterile 20 Kinase Phosphorylates Histone H2B at Serine 10 during Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Apoptosis in S. cerevisiae

TL;DR: Conservation of targeted H2B phosphorylation and the enzyme system responsible for the process point to an ancient mechanism of chromatin remodeling that likely plays an important role in governing cellular homeostasis in a wide range of organisms.
