Don't post often but this is a good occasion: we wrote a huge review about mechanisms that preserve chromatin fidelity, and how its progressive degradation occurs in disease. Inspired by #oncohistones but mostly *not* about that. Bonus, snuck Horace into the title!

Aere perennius: how chromatin fidelity is maintained and lost in disease
Abstract. Multicellular organisms arise from a single genome template in the zygote, necessitating the cells of the developing embryo to up- and downregula

Check out this 🧵 from @eimearlagan.bsky.social on our new Molecular Cell @cp-molcell.bsky.social paper! We show how the H3K27M Oncohistone reprograms chromatin in DMG, creating a specific dependency on CBX4/PCGF4-containing forms of cPRC1 👇
Excited to share our new paper out today in @cp-molcell.bsky.social! We show that the H3K27M oncohistone rewires cPRC1, creating a unique dependency on CBX4/PCGF4-containing complexes, and also reveal a previously unknown function of CBX4. Highlights below (1/11).

The HuSH complex silences retrotransposable elements. We identify HuSH2, centered on TASOR2, targeting KRAB-ZNFs and interferon genes, balancing retrotransposon silencing and immune regulation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
