The Rpd3S histone deacetylase complex has a crucial role in genomic integrity by deacetylating transcribed nucleosomes following RNA polymerase (Pol) II passage. Cryo-EM studies highlight the importance of asymmetrical Rco1-Eaf3 dimers in nucleosome binding, yet the interaction dynamics with nucleosomal substrates alongside elongating Pol II are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate the essential function of the Rco1 N-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR) in modulating Pol II association, in which K/R mutations within the Rco1 IDR impair interaction of Rpd3S with the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Rpb1, without affecting nucleosome recognition or complex integrity.

Missense variants that change the amino acid sequences of proteins cause one-third of human genetic diseases. Tens of millions of missense variants exist in the current human population, and the vast majority of these have unknown functional consequences. Here we present a large-scale experimental analysis of human missense variants across many different proteins.

ATR plays key roles in cellular responses to DNA damage and replication stress, a pervasive feature of cancer cells. ATR inhibitors (ATRi) are in clinical development for treating various cancers, including those with high replication stress, such as is elicited by ARID1A deficiency, but the cellular mechanisms that determine ATRi efficacy in such backgrounds are unclear. Here, we have conducted unbiased genome-scale CRISPR screens in ARID1A-deficient and proficient cells treated with ATRi.

Human DNA licensing initiates replication fork assembly and DNA replication. This reaction promotes the loading of the hMCM2-7 complex on DNA, which represents the core of the replicative helicase that unwinds DNA during S-phase. Here, we report the reconstitution of human DNA licensing using purified proteins.

Objective: To explore the clinical features of a child with Lamb-Shaffer syndrome (LAMSHF) due to a variant of SOX5 gene.
Methods: A child who was admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in July 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected.
