Retinoblastoma protein (pRB) mediates cell-cycle withdrawal and differentiation by interacting with a variety of proteins. RB-Binding Protein 2 (RBP2) has been shown to be a key effector. We sought to determine transcriptional regulation by RBP2 genome-wide by using location analysis and gene expression profiling experiments. We describe that RBP2 shows high correlation with the presence of H3K4me3 and its target genes are separated into two functionally distinct classes: differentiation-independent and differentiation-dependent genes. The former class is enriched by genes that encode mitochondrial proteins, while the latter is represented by cell-cycle genes. We demonstrate the role of RBP2 in mitochondrial biogenesis, which involves regulation of H3K4me3-modified nucleosomes. Analysis of expression changes upon RBP2 depletion depicted genes with a signature of differentiation control, analogous to the changes seen upon reintroduction of pRB. We conclude that, during differentiation, RBP2 exerts inhibitory effects on multiple genes through direct interaction with their promoters.

Phylogenetic studies and distinction of aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus species in section Flavi, Ochraceorosei and Nidulantes: A review.

Article Synopsis
- - Aspergillus species are known for producing polyketides that lead to aflatoxins, which are harmful mycotoxins found in grains, seeds, and nuts, affecting both the agricultural field and storage processes.
- - The key aflatoxin-producing species include A. flavus, A. parasiticus, and A. nomius, along with others, and their toxin production is influenced by specific genes, particularly the aflR gene, though its presence doesn't guarantee toxin production.
- - Evolutionary studies show that some non-aflatoxigenic species may have derived from aflatoxin-producing ancestors, and genetic analyses reveal differences in gene clusters responsible for aflatoxin production between species.

Introduction: Most oncogenic genes contribute to cancer progression, but their role and regulatory mechanisms are not yet fully understood in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to explore the role of miR-328-3p and the regulatory relationship between miR-328-3p and HMOX1 in HCC.
Methods: We utilized Cox and LASSO regression to identify a panel of oncogenic genes associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression within the TCGA-LIHC cohort and the GSE104580 dataset.

CONACYT, Instituto Politécnico Nacional CIIDIR, Unidad Oaxaca , Mexico City, Mexico City, Mexico;
Article Synopsis
- Zucc. (agave tobalá) is a crucial wild species for mezcal production and is primarily found in Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico; however, a disease outbreak causing dry stem rot has affected 45% of a 10-acre commercial field in Villa Sola de Vega.
- Researchers isolated the pathogen from symptomatic plants by disinfecting tissue samples, culturing them on potato dextrose agar, and identifying several monoconidial isolates with specific morphological characteristics.
- Three of these isolates underwent further tests for phylogenetic analysis and pathogenicity, and were deposited in a culture collection for future study.

Article Synopsis
- A herb, identified as a perennial, possesses notable medicinal benefits including anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties but faced challenges when leaf blight disease appeared in Xiangtan City, impacting approximately 22% of affected plants.
- The disease symptoms began with water-soaked chlorosis in infected leaves, which progressed to dry yellow shrinkage spreading throughout the plants over a significant planting area of about 30,000 m².
- Researchers identified the disease's causal organisms through a series of laboratory techniques, including surface sterilization, culture on specific agar plates, and molecular identification using gene amplification, with results being deposited in GenBank for further study.
