A recent study in Science reports on seemingly equivalent oesophageal progenitors that maintain tissue homeostasis in the absence of slow cycling cell populations. Valerie Horsley The EMBO Journal (2012), 31, 3653 - 3654; 10.1038/emboj.2012.230 Abstract | Full text | PDF | Related article Published online: 10 August 2012 | | Articles | Top | | | | DSCR1 interacts with FMRP and is required for spine morphogenesis and local protein synthesis Kyung-Tai Min and colleagues report the first molecular link between Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. DSCR1 (implicated in Down syndrome) interacts with FMRP (Fragile X syndrome protein) to regulate spine morphogenesis and local protein synthesis in dendrites. Both processes are implicated in synaptic activity and intellectual disabilities. Wei Wang, John Z Zhu, Karen T Chang and Kyung-Tai Min The EMBO Journal (2012), 31, 3655 - 3666; 10.1038/emboj.2012.190 Abstract | Full text | PDF | Supp. info. | Review Process File Published online: 03 August 2012 | | | | Rif1 regulates the replication timing domains on the human genome The homologue of the yeast telomeric protein Rif1 regulates the complex temporal programme of human genome replication, possibly controlling chromatin domain establishment at the G1 ‘timing decision point’.

Daniela Cornacchia, Vishnu Dileep, Jean-Pierre Quivy, Rossana Foti, Federico Tili, Rachel Santarella-Mellwig, Claude Antony, Geneviève Almouzni, David M Gilbert and Sara B C Buonomo The EMBO Journal (2012), 31, 3678 - 3690; 10.1038/emboj.2012.214 Abstract | Full text | PDF | Supp. info. | Review Process File Published online: 31 July 2012 | | | | Binding of the Atg1/ULK1 kinase to the ubiquitin-like protein Atg8 regulates autophagy The Atg1/ULK1 kinase is an essential component of the core autophagy machinery and needs to be regulated in response to nutrient availability. A novel conserved mechanism to balance autophagic flux during nutrient depletion involves Atg8-dependent targeting of the Atg1–Atg13 complex to autophagy-mediated degradation.
