Article Abstract
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments with differentiated adipocytes are challenging because lipid droplets interfere with immunoprecipitation efficiency. Here, the author describes optimized procedures to minimize the burden of lipid droplets by using hypotonic buffer to enrich nuclear fraction before formaldehyde crosslinking, thus increasing the sensitivity and specificity of ChIP experiments with differentiated adipocytes. The author also describes steps after fixation, including sonication, immunoprecipitation, washing, reverse-crosslinking, and purification. This protocol is compatible with ChIP-qPCR and ChIP-seq of various transcription factors and histone modifications. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hiraike et al. (2022)..

The nuclear factor of activated T cells 3 (NFATc3) plays a significant role in various cancer-related processes, but its interactions with transcriptional modulators, particularly Promyelocytic Leukemia protein (PML), remain poorly understood. PML, a nuclear scaffold protein, is involved in tumor suppression and transcriptional regulation. This study investigates the interaction between NFATc3 and PML, focusing on the role of SUMOylation and its impact on downstream target genes.

Microtubule-actin cross-linking factor 1 (MACF1) is a large protein of the spectraplakin family, which is essential for brain development. MACF1 interacts with microtubules through the growth arrest-specific 2 (Gas2)-related (GAR) domain. Heterozygous MACF1 missense variants affecting the zinc-binding residues in this domain result in a distinctive cortical and brain stem malformation.

Salt stress impairs photosynthetic efficiency and consequently reduces the growth, development, and grain yield of crop plants. The formation of hydrophobic barriers in the root endodermis, including the suberin lamellae and Casparian strips, is a key adaptive strategy for salt stress tolerance. In this study, we identified the role of the rice NAC transcription factor, ONAC005, in salt stress tolerance.

Introduction: Epigenetic changes are important modulators of gene expression. The histone acetyltransferase gene non-derepressible 5 (Gcn5) is emerging as a pivotal epigenetic player in metabolism and cancer, yet its role in obesity and cardiovascular disease remains elusive.
Aims: To investigate Gcn5 role in obesity-related endothelial dysfunction.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore G1896A mutation is closely associated with poor prognosis of liver disease. We previously revealed that the G1896A mutation could enhance HBV replication and promote hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. However, the in-depth mechanisms by which this mutation promotes the malignancy of HCC still need to be explored.
