Hippo Reprograms the Transcriptional Response to Ras Signaling

TL;DR: Using ChIP-nexus, Hippo signaling is found to keep Ras targets in check by directly regulating the expression of two key downstream transcription factors of Ras signaling: the ETS-domain transcription factor Pointed and the repressor Capicua.
Journal ArticleDOI

HOXA1 and TALE proteins display cross-regulatory interactions and form a combinatorial binding code on HOXA1 targets.

TL;DR: Extensive auto- and cross-regulatory interactions among the Hoxa1 and TALE genes are discovered, indicating that the specificity of HOXA1 during development may be regulated though a complex cross-Regulatory network of HOxA1 andTALE proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Role for FACT in RNA Polymerase II Promoter-Proximal Pausing.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that loss of FACT has a dramatic impact on Pol II elongation-coupled processes including histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) and H3K36 methylation, consistent with a role for FACT in coordinating histone modification and chromatin architecture during Pol II transcription.

Deep learning at base-resolution reveals motif syntax of the cis-regulatory code

TL;DR: A deep learning model is trained that uses DNA sequence to predict base-resolution binding profiles of four pluripotency transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, and Klf4 and finds that instances of strict motif spacing are largely due to retrotransposons, but that soft motif syntax influences motif interactions at protein and nucleosome range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capicua controls Toll/IL-1 signaling targets independently of RTK regulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that Cic represses Toll/IL-1 signaling targets in Drosophila embryos independently of RTK control, revealing a mode of Cic regulation unrelated to the well-established RTK/Cic depression axis and implicate cooperative binding in conjunction with low-affinity binding sites as an important mechanism of enhancer regulation.
