Histone H3 methylation by Set2 directs deacetylation of coding regions by Rpd3S to suppress spurious intragenic transcription.

TL;DR: Data indicate that Pol II-associated Set2 methylates H3 providing a transcriptional memory which signals for deacetylation of ORFs by Rpd3S, which erases transcription elongation-associated acetylation to suppress intragenic transcription initiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vpx relieves inhibition of HIV-1 infection of macrophages mediated by the SAMHD1 protein

TL;DR: These findings show that macrophages are defended from HIV-1 infection by a mechanism that prevents an unwanted interferon response triggered by self nucleic acids, and uncover an intricate relationship between innate immune mechanisms that control response to self and to retroviral pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statistical analysis of membrane proteome expression changes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: An approach for analyzing shotgun proteomics datasets based on the normalized spectral abundance factor that can be used for quantitative proteomics analysis is devised and amino acid transporters were among the 14 membrane proteins that were significantly upregulated in cells grown in minimal media.
