Our paper is finally out in Nature Plants. MAIL proteins antagonize Polycomb-mediated silencing. Full text here: rdcu.be/eJisX
Plant mobile domain protein–DNA motif modules counteract Polycomb silencing to stabilize gene expression
Nature Plants - This study reveals that plant proteins MAIL1, MAIN and MAIL2 function as anti-silencing factors that maintain active gene expression. They bind specific DNA motifs to prevent...

💡🔬 TECHNICAL INNOVATION 💡🔬

Neubauer et al. developed a Nostoc reporter strain enabling high-throughput quantitative monitoring of hormogonia differentiation in cyanobacteria as a response to biotic and abiotic factors.

Fig. 2.Confocal microscopy of N. punctiforme strains. Filaments from the indicated strains were taken from cultures grown in BG110 medium (not induced; A) or after incubation for 24 h in the presence of Anthoceros agrestis exudates (hormogonia induction; B) and visualized by confocal microscopy. Merged (2 channels) show the overlay of autofluorescence (magenta) and GFP fluorescence (green). Merged (3 channels) represent the overlay of magenta autofluorescence, bright field, and green GFP fluorescence. Hormogonia are identified as short filaments with small cells. Scale bar=20 μm.

We’re excited to share our new work on how plants restore cytonuclear balance after whole-genome duplication. Using Arabidopsis auto- and allopolyploids, we uncover distinct, organelle-specific strategies in chloroplasts and mitochondria across generations.

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) disrupts cytonuclear balance by doubling nuclear content, requiring compensatory responses from organelles. In Arabidopsis auto- and allopolyploids, we found dynamic, o...

It is not always safe to repair DNA Damage. Sometimes, cells "just bypass it".

During DNA replication, repair of lesions on DNA can be dangerous. Cells instead "tolerate" DNA damage and focus on finishing replication.

Sometimes DNA replication hits a 🛑 roadblock.
Cells don’t stop; they take clever detours (DNA damage tolerance) 🚗💨 to keep genomes intact.

That’s the focus of our new review in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social:
“Just bypass it: mechanisms of DNA damage tolerance”

The identification of the very conserved CTF18, SGO2 and SPF2 as suppressors of centromere-proximal crossovers highlights the importance of cohesin turnover in this process and opens up new possibilities for plant breeding. Much more in the paper : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Crossovers (COs) ensure proper chromosome segregation during meiosis and generate genetic diversity. COs are non-uniformly distributed along chromosomes and almost universally suppressed in centromere...
