The heat's on: nuclear stress bodies signal intron retention
Sylvia Erhardt, Georg Stoecklin

EMBO J (2020) 39: e104154 | First Published: 09 January 2020

A new study reveals that nuclear stress bodies serve as a platform for SR protein phosphorylation, thereby altering splicing of sequestered mRNAs during the recovery from heat shock.

Towards the unified principles of transcription termination
Vladimir Svetlov, Evgeny Nudler

EMBO J (2020) 39: e104112 | First Published: 30 December 2019

An RNase J1 role in Bacillus subtilis transcription termination supports the existence of common allosteric principles of termination mechanisms, but also suggests higher mechanistic diversity in bacteria than expected.

Review

Open Access
Molecular and physiological consequences of faulty eukaryotic ribonucleotide excision repair
Vanessa Kellner, Brian Luke

EMBO J (2020) 39: e102309 | First Published: 12 December 2019

Kellner and Luke review how RNase H2 or topoisomerase enzymes remove misincorporated ribonucleotides from genomic DNA, and the relevance of such mechanisms for both malignant and autoimmune diseases such as Aicardi–Goutières syndrome.

Phosphorylation of the HORMA domain protein ASY1 by the central cell cycle kinase promotes its recruitment onto meiotic chromosomes both via protein interactions and by countering disassembly ATPase PCH2.

Highlight
LncRNA‐dependent nuclear stress bodies promote intron retention through SR protein phosphorylation

Fetal monocytes possess increased metabolic capacity and replace primitive macrophages in tissue macrophage development
Fengqi Li, Katarzyna Maria Okreglicka, Lea Maria Pohlmeier, Christoph Schneider, Manfred Kopf

EMBO J (2020) 39: e103205 | First Published: 02 January 2020

Transplantation studies aiming to identify the origin of tissue alveolar macrophages implicate a contribution of fetal monocytes with higher mitochondrial bioenergetic and glycolytic capacity than primitive macrophages.
