This inherent asymmetry at each replication fork necessitates the development of methods to distinguish between these two nascent strands <em>in vivo</em>. Over the past decade, strand-specific sequencing strategies, such as enrichment and sequencing of protein-associated nascent DNA (eSPAN) and Okazaki fragment sequencing (OK-seq), have become essential tools for studying chromatin replication in eukaryotic cells. In this review, we outline the foundational principles underlying these methodologies and summarize key mechanistic insights into DNA replication, parental histone transfer, epigenetic inheritance, and beyond, gained through their applications. Finally, we discuss the limitations and challenges of current techniques, highlighting the need for further technological innovations to better understand the dynamics and regulation of chromatin replication in eukaryotic cells.","PeriodicalId":18950,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Cell","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chromatin, the physiological template of the eukaryotic genome, has emerged as a sensor and rheostat for fluctuating intracellular metabolites. In this review, we highlight the growing list of chromatin-associated metabolites that are derived from diverse sources. We discuss recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms by which metabolic enzyme activities shape the chromatin structure and modifications, how specificity may emerge from their seemingly broad effects, and technologies that facilitate the study of epigenome-metabolome interplay. The recognition that metabolites are immanent components of the chromatin regulatory network has significant implications for the evolution, function, and therapeutic targeting of the epigenome.","PeriodicalId":18950,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Cell","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we introduce mipDVP, an advanced approach integrating highly multiplexed imaging, single-cell laser microdissection, and sensitive mass spectrometry to spatially profile the proteomes of distinct cell populations in a human colorectal and tonsil cancer with high sensitivity. In a colorectal tumor—a representative cold tumor—we uncovered spatial compartmentalization of an immunosuppressive macrophage barrier that potentially impedes T cell infiltration. Spatial proteomic analysis revealed distinct functional states of T cells in different tumor compartments. In a tonsil cancer sample—a hot tumor—we identified significant proteomic heterogeneity among cells influenced by proximity to cytotoxic T cell subtypes. T cells in the tumor parenchyma exhibit metabolic adaptations to hypoxic regions. Our spatially resolved, highly multiplexed strategy deciphers the complex cellular interplay within the tumor microenvironment, offering valuable insights for identifying immunotherapy targets and predictive signatures.","PeriodicalId":18950,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Cell","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142974563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process is critical for many cellular functions, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report a cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstruction of the 13-subunit human U11 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) complex in apo and substrate-bound forms, revealing the architecture of the U11 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), five minor spliceosome-specific factors, and the mechanism of the U12-type 5′ splice site (5′SS) recognition. SNRNP25 and SNRNP35 specifically recognize U11 snRNA, while PDCD7 bridges SNRNP25 and SNRNP48, located at the distal ends of the particle. SNRNP48 and ZMAT5 are positioned near the 5′ end of U11 snRNA and stabilize binding of the incoming 5′SS. Recognition of the U12-type 5′SS is achieved through base-pairing to the 5′ end of the U11 snRNA and unexpected, non-canonical base-triple interactions with the U11 snRNA stem-loop 3. Our structures provide mechanistic insights into U12-dependent intron recognition and the evolution of the splicing machinery.","PeriodicalId":18950,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Cell","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142974550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key characteristic of aged cells is the loss of global heterochromatin, accompanied by a reduction in canonical histone levels. In this study, we track the fate of centromeres in aged human fibroblasts and tissues and in various cellular senescent models. Our findings reveal that the centromeric histone H3 variant CENP-A is downregulated in aged cells in a p53-dependent manner. We observe repression of centromeric noncoding transcription through an epigenetic mechanism via recruitment of a lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A) to centromeres. This suppression results in defective <em>de novo</em> CENP-A loading at aging centromeres. By dual inhibition of p53 and LSD1/KDM1A in aged cells, we mitigate the reduction in centromeric proteins and centromeric transcripts, leading to the mitotic rejuvenation of these cells. These results offer insights into a unique mechanism for centromeric inactivation during aging and provide potential strategies to reactivate centromeres.","PeriodicalId":18950,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Cell","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, where this process occurs in the nucleus remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that nuclear speckles (NSs), membraneless organelles enriched with splicing factors, are major sites for pre-mRNA 3′ processing in human cells. We show that the essential pre-mRNA 3′ processing factor retinoblastoma-binding protein 6 (RBBP6) associates strongly with NSs via its C-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR). Importantly, although the conserved N-terminal domain (NTD) of RBBP6 is sufficient for pre-mRNA 3′ processing <em>in vitro</em>, its IDR-mediated association with NSs is required for efficient pre-mRNA 3′ processing in cells. Through proximity labeling analyses, we provide evidence that pre-mRNA 3′ processing for over 50% of genes occurs near NSs. We propose that NSs serve as hubs for RNA polymerase II transcription, pre-mRNA splicing, and 3′ processing, thereby enhancing the efficiency and coordination of different gene expression steps.","PeriodicalId":18950,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Cell","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142939575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Retained transcripts are fully processed and accumulate in proportion to the expression level of the genes from which they emanate. The TREX mRNA export complex plays an integral role in directing nascent transcripts to nuclear speckles where they are bound to NXF1, protected from degradation, and poised for rapid export following re-initiation of transcription.
