The Ada two A-containing (ATAC) complex, containing histone acetyltransferases general control non-derepressible 5 (GCN5) or p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF), has gained recognition as a prominent transcriptional coactivator. Recent revelations unveiled E3 ligase activity present in both GCN5 and PCAF; however, how the dual enzymatic activities of the ATAC complex orchestrate distinct transcriptional programs and signaling networks remains largely elusive. Our study unveils the function of the ATAC complex as a negative regulator of the autophagy-lysosome pathway's transcriptional program by modulating the stability of transcription factors TFE3 and TFEB. The ATAC complex primarily impacts TFE3/TFEB destabilization through its E3 ligase activity rather than its acetyltransferase function. GCN5/PCAF-mediated ubiquitination prompts the proteasome-dependent degradation of TFE3 and TFEB. Furthermore, inactivation of the ATAC complex amplifies TFE3/TFEB-mediated autophagy-lysosome functions, thereby promoting cell survival during nutrient deprivation. In summary, our findings establish the "ATAC complex-TFE3/TFEB-autophagy-lysosome" axis as an intrinsic regulatory pathway for resisting starvation-induced cell death.

Documented worldwide, impaired immunity is a cardinal signature resulting from loss of dietary zinc, an essential micronutrient. A steady supply of zinc to meet cellular requirements is regulated by an array of zinc transporters. Deletion of the transporter Zip14 (Slc39a14) in mice produced intestinal inflammation.

Background: Osimertinib has emerged as a critical element in the treatment landscape following recent clinical trials. Further investigation into the mechanisms driving resistance to Osimertinib is necessary to address the restricted treatment options and survival advantages that are compromised by resistance in patients with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods: Spatial transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were utilized to investigate the mechanisms of Osimertinib resistance.
Background: Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is the most common malignant brain tumor in infants, and more than 60% of children with ATRT die from their tumor. ATRT is associated with mutational inactivation/deletion of , a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, suggesting that epigenetic events play a critical role in tumor development and progression. Moreover, disruption of SWI/SNF allows unopposed activity of epigenetic repressors, which contribute to tumorigenicity.

Single cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq) experimental designs have become increasingly complex, with multiple factors that might affect chromatin accessibility, including genotype, cell type, tissue of origin, sample location, batch, etc., whose compound effects are difficult to test by existing methods. In addition, current scATAC-seq data present statistical difficulties due to their sparsity and variations in individual sequence capture.

Spatial epigenomic technologies enable simultaneous capture of spatial location and chromatin accessibility of cells within tissue slices. Identifying peaks that display spatial variation and cellular heterogeneity is the key analytic task for characterizing the spatial chromatin accessibility landscape of complex tissues. Here, we propose an efficient and iterative model, Descart, for spatially variable peaks identification based on the graph of inter-cellular correlations.
