Norovirus Co-opts NINJ1 for Selective NS1 Secretion
2026-09-25
A 2025 study finds that murine norovirus exploits NINJ1 to release the viral protein NS1, distinguishing selective cargo secretion from the bulk release of cellular damage signals during membrane rupture. The work connects caspase-3 processing of NS1/2 to NINJ1-dependent secretion and shows that disrupting caspase-3 can reduce oral infection in mice.

APEX2 Enables TERT Expression in Human Stem Cells
2026-09-22
This preprint identifies APEX2 as a selective DNA repair factor required for efficient TERT expression and telomerase activity in human embryonic stem cells. RNA-seq and chromatin immunoprecipitation connect APEX2 activity with repetitive DNA elements, particularly MIR sequences within the TERT locus, suggesting that repair of damage-prone repeats may influence transcription.

Single-Fibre Mapping of Nucleosome Distortion
2026-09-22
The reference study introduces IDLI, a computational framework that uses long-read single-molecule footprinting to map structurally distinct nucleosomes and protein–DNA interactions on individual chromatin fibres. Its results indicate that nucleosome distortion is widespread, developmentally regulated, and associated with transcription-factor occupancy, providing a new way to study chromatin accessibility beyond average population-level measurements.
