The gene expression response of yeast to various types of stresses/perturbations shows a common functional and dynamical pattern for the vast majority of genes, characterised by a quick transient peak (affecting primarily short genes) followed by a return to the pre-stimulus level. Kinetically, this process of adaptation following the transient excursion can be modelled using a genome-wide autoregulatory mechanism by means of which yeast aims at maintaining a preferential concentration in its mRNA levels. The resulting feedback system explains well the different time constants observable in the transient response, while being in agreement with all the known experimental dynamical features. For example, it suggests that a very rapid transient can be induced also by a slowly varying concentration of the gene products.

Article Synopsis
- The SB transposon system is valuable for genetic applications like gene therapy, and a new hyperactive variant of the SB100X transposase, known as SB200X, was discovered with a specific amino acid change that increases its activity by about 2-fold.
- This hyperactivity is linked to an amino acid at position 124, located in the transposase's structural region, suggesting it can partially resist a regulatory mechanism called overproduction inhibition.
- Additionally, the Q124C variant not only boosts the efficiency of another variant (K248R) but also helps maintain a safer profile for genome-wide integration, making SB200X a promising tool for genome engineering in research and clinical settings.

DNA cytosine methylation plays a vital role in repressing retrotransposons, and such derepression is linked with developmental failure, tumorigenesis and aging. DNA methylation patterns are formed by precisely regulated actions of DNA methylation writers (DNA methyltransferases) and erasers (TET, ten-eleven translocation dioxygenases). However, the mechanisms underlying target-specific oxidation of 5mC by TET dioxygenases remain largely unexplored.

Ribosomes of Bacteroidia fail to recognize Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequences due to sequestration of the 3' tail of the 16S rRNA on the 30S platform. Yet in these organisms, the gene typically contains the programmed +1 frameshift site with its characteristic SD sequence. Here, we investigate autoregulation in , a member of the Bacteroidia.

Elucidating genome-scale regulatory networks requires a comprehensive collection of gene expression profiles, yet measuring gene expression responses for every transcription factor (TF)-gene pair in living prokaryotic cells remains challenging. Here, we develop pooled promoter responses to TF perturbation sequencing (PPTP-seq) via CRISPR interference to address this challenge. Using PPTP-seq, we systematically measure the activity of 1372 Escherichia coli promoters under single knockdown of 183 TF genes, illustrating more than 200,000 possible TF-gene responses in one experiment.

Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) is an epigenetic-based mechanism contributing to the acquired treatment resistance against receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells harboring epidermal growth factor receptor ()-mutations. Delineating the exact epigenetic and gene-expression alterations in EMT-associated EGFR TKI-resistance (EMT-E-TKI-R) is vital for improved diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC patients.
Methods: We characterized genome-wide changes in mRNA-expression, DNA-methylation and the histone-modification H3K36me3 in -mutated NSCLC HCC827 cells in result of acquired EMT-E-TKI-R.
