Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common salivary gland tumor. PAs are characterized by chromosomal rearrangements of 8q12 and 12q14-15, leading to gene fusions involving the PLAG1 and HMGA2 oncogenes. Here, we performed the first comprehensive study of the transcriptomic and gene fusion landscape of 38 cytogenetically characterized PAs.

The assembly of repressive heterochromatin in eukaryotic genomes is crucial for silencing lineage-inappropriate genes and repetitive DNA elements. Paradoxically, transcription of repetitive elements within constitutive heterochromatin domains is required for RNA-based mechanisms, such as the RNAi pathway, to target heterochromatin assembly proteins. However, the mechanism by which heterochromatic repeats are transcribed has been unclear.

Inducible promoters are essential for precise control of target gene expression in synthetic biological systems. However, engineering eukaryotic promoters is often more challenging than engineering prokaryotic promoters due to their greater mechanistic complexity. In this study, we describe a simple and reliable approach for constructing strongly inducible synthetic promoters with minimum leakiness in yeasts.

are abundant in the oceans and possess great potential in the synthesis of bioactive natural products. Although many secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters have been identified from genomes, most of their products have not been characterized. In this study, endogenous constitutive promoters with high transcriptional activity were obtained from S16 through RNA-seq and a fluorescence assay of luciferase gene expression.

Hansenula mrakii killer toxin resistant gene 1 (HKR1) is an intronless, single-exon gene that encodes Hkr1, the signaling mucin of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. HKR1 overexpression confers S. cerevisiae cells with resistance to the HM-1 killer toxin produced by the killer yeast Hansenula mrakii (currently known as Cyberlindnera mrakii).
