The ring-shaped cohesin complex topologically entraps two DNAs to establish sister chromatid cohesion. Cohesin also shapes the interphase chromatin landscape by forming DNA loops, which it is thought to achieve using an in vitro-observed loop extrusion mechanism. However, recent studies revealed that loop-extrusion-deficient cohesin retains its ability to form chromatin loops, suggesting a divergence of in vitro and in vivo loop formation. Instead of loop extrusion, we examine whether cohesin forms chromatin loops by a mechanism akin to sister chromatid cohesion establishment: sequential topological capture of two DNAs. We explore similarities and differences between the “loop capture” and the “loop extrusion” model, how they compare at explaining experimental observations, and how future approaches can delineate their possible respective contributions. We extend our DNA-DNA capture model for cohesin function to related structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family members, condensin, the Smc5-Smc6 complex, and bacterial SMC complexes.

R-loops are pervasive triplex nucleic acid structures across diverse organisms, yet their biological functions remain incompletely understood. Here, we develop R-loop identification assisted by nucleases and sequencing (RIAN-seq), a nuclease-assisted, antibody-free sequencing technology, to map R-loops at base-pair resolution. By digesting single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with nuclease P1, T5 exonuclease, and lambda exonuclease while preserving RNA:DNA hybrids, RIAN-seq achieves unprecedented precision in identifying the position and size of R-loops, detecting an order of magnitude more R-loops than existing methods. Approximately 50% of RNA:DNA hybrids span between 60 and 130 bp, with many forming previously undetectable clusters. Clustered R-loops at promoters recruit zinc-finger proteins VEZF1 and SP5, enhancing transcription in a number-dependent manner and resisting transcriptional perturbation. Conversely, R-loops featuring the Y(C/T)M(A/C)CAG motif at both ends contribute to DNA damage, a phenomenon conserved from yeast to mammalian cells. Our findings reveal a dual role for R-loops: clustered R-loops promote gene expression, while YMCAG-associated R-loops compromise genome stability.

ADAR1 regulates RNA-induced immune responses by converting adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA. Mutations in ADAR1 are associated with human autoimmune disease, and targeting ADAR1 has been proposed for cancer immunotherapy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying ADAR1-mediated editing remain unclear. Here, we provide detailed biochemical and structural characterizations of human ADAR1. Our biochemical profiling reveals that ADAR1 editing is both sequence and RNA-duplex-length dependent but can well tolerate mismatches near the editing site. High-resolution ADAR1-RNA complex structures, combined with mutagenesis, elucidate RNA binding, substrate selection, dimerization, and the essential role of RNA-binding domain 3. The ADAR1 structures also help explain the potential defects of disease-associated mutations, where biochemical and RNA sequencing analysis further indicate some of the mutations preferentially impact the editing of RNAs with short duplexes. These findings unveil the molecular basis of ADAR1 editing and provide insights into its immune-regulatory functions and therapeutic potential.

Interaction between the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 and METTL14 is critical for METTL3 to deposit m6A on various types of RNAs. It remains to be uncovered whether there is spatial control of m6A deposition on different types of RNAs. Here, through genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening in the A549 cell line, we find that H3K27ac acetylase p300-mediated METTL3 acetylation suppresses the binding of METTL3 on H3K27ac-marked chromatin by inhibiting its interaction with METTL14. Consistently, p300 catalyzing the acetylation of METTL3 specifically occurs on H3K27ac-marked chromatin. Disruptive mutations on METTL3 acetylation sites selectively promote the m6A of chromatin-associated RNAs from p300-bound enhancers and promoters marked by H3K27ac, resulting in transcription inhibition of ferroptosis-inhibition-related genes. In addition, PAK2 promotes METTL3 acetylation by phosphorylating METTL3. Inhibition of PAK2 promotes ferroptosis in a manner that depends on the acetylation of METTL3. Our study reveals a spatial-selective way to specifically regulate the deposition of m6A on enhancer and promoter RNAs.

The recently discovered lysine lactylation represents a critical post-translational modification with widespread implications in epigenetics and cancer biology. Initially identified on histones, lysine lactylation has been also described on non-histone proteins, playing a pivotal role in transcriptional activation, protein function, and cellular processes. Two major sources of the lactyl moiety have been currently distinguished: L-lactyl-CoA (precursor of the L-lactyl moiety) and S-D-lactylglutathione (precursor of the D-lactyl moiety), which enable enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms of lysine lactylation, respectively. Although the specific writers, erasers, and readers of this modification are still unclear, acetyltransferases and deacetylases have been proposed as crucial mediators of lysine lactylation. Remarkably, lactylation exerts significant influence on critical cancer-related pathways, thereby shaping cellular behavior during malignant transformation and the metastatic cascade. Hence, as recent insights into lysine lactylation underscore its growing potential in tumor biology, targeting this modification is emerging as a significant opportunity for cancer treatment.

Nuclear pore proteins (nucleoporins [Nups]) physically interact with hundreds of chromosomal sites, impacting transcription. In yeast, transcription factors mediate interactions between Nups and enhancers and promoters. To define the molecular basis of this mechanism, we exploited a separation-of-function mutation in the Gcn4 transcription factor that blocks its interaction with the nuclear pore complex (NPC). This mutation reduces the interaction of Gcn4 with the highly conserved nuclear export factor Crm1/Xpo1. Crm1 and Nups co-occupy enhancers, and Crm1 inhibition blocks interaction of the nuclear pore protein Nup2 with the genome. In vivo, Crm1 interacts stably with the NPC and in vitro, Crm1 binds directly to both Gcn4 and Nup2. Importantly, the interaction between Crm1 and Gcn4 requires neither Ran-guanosine triphosphate (GTP) nor the nuclear export sequence binding site. Finally, Crm1 and Ran-GTP stimulate DNA binding by Gcn4, suggesting that allosteric coupling between Crm1-Ran-GTP binding and DNA binding facilitates the docking of transcription-factor-bound enhancers at the NPC.
