    SUMOylation of Bonus, the Drosophila homolog of Transcription Intermediary Factor 1, safeguards germline identity by recruiting repressive chromatin complexes to silence tissue-specific genes

    Baira Godneeva, Maria Ninova ... Alexei Aravin
    Bonus, the Drosophila TIF1 factor, functions as a repressor of tissue-specific genes in the germline, emphasizing an important function of SUMOylation in transcriptional regulation.

    Genomic stability of self-inactivating rabies

    Ernesto Ciabatti, Ana González-Rueda ... Marco Tripodi
    SiR does not revert to wild type when produced in high-TEVp cell lines, is non-toxic in vivo, maintains transsynaptic spreading capabilities and revertant mutations do not accumulate during in vivo experiments.

    Methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone, MG-H1, increases food intake by altering tyramine signaling via the GATA transcription factor ELT-3 in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Muniesh Muthaiyan Shanmugam, Jyotiska Chaudhuri ... Pankaj Kapahi
    Advanced glycation end-products (compounds which make the food appetizing and aromatic) intricately modulate organism’s homeostatic and hedonistic signaling pathways thereby inducing preferential consumption of excess nutrients offering preliminary insights into overconsumption of modern-day processed food.
