NSD3-Short Is an Adaptor Protein that Couples BRD4 to the CHD8 Chromatin Remodeler

The bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) protein BRD4 is a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we demonstrate that the AML maintenance function of BRD4 requires its interaction with NSD3, which belongs to a subfamily of H3K36 …

The structural biochemistry of Zucchini implicates it as a nuclease in piRNA biogenesis

PIWI-family proteins and their associated small RNAs (piRNAs) act in an evolutionarily conserved innate immune mechanism to provide essential protection for germ-cell genomes against the activity of mobile genetic elements. piRNA populations comprise …
