Histone methylation patterns are correlated with eukaryotic gene transcription. High-affinity binding of the plant homeodomain (PHD) of TFIID subunit TAF3 to trimethylated lysine-4 of histone H3 (H3K4me3) is involved in promoter recruitment of this basal transcription factor. Here, we show that for transcription activation the PHD of TAF3 can be replaced by PHDs of other high-affinity H3K4me3 binders. Interestingly, H3K4me3 binding of TFIID and the TAF3-PHD is decreased by phosphorylation of the adjacent threonine residue (H3T3), which coincides with mitotic inhibition of transcription. Ectopic expression of the H3T3 kinase haspin repressed TAF3-mediated transcription of endogenous and of reporter genes and decreased TFIID association with chromatin. Conversely, immunofluorescence and live-cell microscopy studies showed an increased association of TFIID with mitotic chromosomes upon haspin knockdown. Based on our observations, we propose that a histone H3 phospho-methyl switch regulates TFIID-mediated transcription during mitotic progression of the cell cycle.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form of glaucoma. This condition leads to optic nerve degeneration and eventually to blindness. Tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, fast-food diets, obesity, heavy weight lifting, high-intensity physical exercises, and many other bad habits are lifestyle-related risk factors for POAG.

Clinically-relevant variants in the STUB1 gene have been associated with an autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia 48 (SCA48), a recently described inherited neurodegenerative condition that is characterised by cognitive and psychiatric changes. To describe the clinical phenotype and genetic findings of three new Australian probands with STUB1 to expand the current understanding of the spectrum of clinical presentation and natural history of SCA48.

Background: TAF1L may play an important role in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer (GC), but the correlation between the expression of TAF1L and the clinicopathological factors and prognosis of GC is still unclear.
Methods: A total of 1053 GC patients in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 1st, 2018 to December 31th, 2019 were screened. Finally, 120 patients met the inclusion criteria.

Discoidin, CUB, and LCCL domain-containing (DCBLD) proteins have been associated with poor prognosis of human cancers. This study investigated the function of DCBLD1 in the development of cervical cancer (CC) and explored its associated mechanism. DCBLD1 was identified as a dysregulated gene in CC via bioinformatics analysis.

As the hybrid between cattle and yak, cattleyak is a typical male sterile mammal, and the underlying mechanism for its spermatogenic arrest is still unclear. In this study, the coding region of cattleyak TAF4B gene was cloned by RT-PCR and analysed by bioinformatics. To investigate the effects of TAF4B on cellular proliferation and differentiation, an expression vector was generated and introduced into undifferentiated spermatogonia (UDSPG) of cattleyak.
