At the core of this system in mammals is CLOCK/BMAL1, a ubiquitously expressed heterodimeric transcription factor complex that orchestrates tissue-specific circadian gene expression. The basis for this specificity remains unclear, but tissue-specific interactions at chromatin could provide one. Here we used chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to mass spectrometry to map CLOCK/BMAL1-associated protein complexes on chromatin in mouse liver, kidney and lung. We detected 1,510 associated proteins, most of which were tissue-specific and not explained by protein abundance. Among these, we identified the homeodomain transcription factors PROX1, HNF1B and HOXA5 as tissue-enriched interactors that bind BMAL1, co-occupy most BMAL1 genomic sites and establish organ-restricted circadian transcription. Our findings demonstrate that tissue-specific transcription factors confer cellular identity on the core clock, thereby contributing to organ-specific patterns of rhythmic gene expression. Aygenli et al. map chromatin-bound CLOCK/BMAL1 protein complexes across three mouse tissues and uncover PROX1, HNF1B and HOXA5 as homeodomain cofactors that directly bind and co-occupy BMAL1 sites to establish tissue-specific circadian transcription.","PeriodicalId":18977,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cell Biology","volume":"28 9","pages":"1890-1900"},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-026-02041-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148685270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, using single-cell RNA-sequencing of the bone-marrow microenvironment in a mouse model of DNMT3A-mutant clonal haematopoiesis (CH), we identify mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in a molecular state of cellular senescence. Elevated bone-marrow MSC senescence is also observed in humans with CH driven by several common somatic mutations. MSC senescence is induced by mutant haematopoietic cells in a contact-independent manner through production of soluble factors including TNF-α and IL-6. These cytokines activate a Stat3-driven pathway that is necessary and sufficient for MSC senescence induction. Genetic or pharmacological depletion of senescent non-haematopoietic cells reduces the burden of CH and delays progression to myeloid neoplasia. Our findings show that microenvironment remodelling modifies pre-malignant clonal fitness and identifies disruption of the crosstalk between pre-malignant cells and their niche as a cancer prevention strategy.

A dominant mode of repression occurs through methylation of lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me3), a mark that engages heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) to drive chromatin compaction and transcriptional silencing. The erasure and replacement of this repressive mark with acetyl/acyl groups recruits positive factors such as BRD4/BET to elicit gene transcription. Here we report that, in Friedreich’s ataxia, a synthetic gene regulator (SynGR1/SynTEF1) licenses transcription across repressive chromatin without removal or replacement of H3K9me3 or HP1. By recruiting BRD4/BET into repressive GAA repeats in frataxin (FXN), SynGR1 creates a paradoxical state wherein gene transcription and repressive chromatin coexist. Contrary to convention, we find that BRD4 partitions into phase separated HP1 condensates in vitro and into HP1 puncta in patient-derived cells, thus offering a mechanistic explanation for desilencing transcription without the dispersal of mesoscale repressive chromatin. More broadly, our study highlights the dynamic nature of repressive chromatin and the context dependence of epigenetic marks in regulating gene expression. Brandon, Robinson-Thiewes, Kaulage et al. report that targeted BRD4 recruitment enables transcription through H3K9me3/HP1-marked heterochromatin without erasing repressive marks, identifying condensate partitioning as a mechanism for gene desilencing.","PeriodicalId":18977,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cell Biology","volume":"28 9","pages":"1846-1856"},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148679401","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 identify the conserved glycolytic enzyme PGAM1 as a metabolic-autophagy checkpoint that links glycolysis to autophagy initiation independently of its catalytic activity. Using complementary yeast and mammalian systems we show that PGAM1 functions as a molecular scaffold that recruits phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex I to the phagophore assembly site, thereby licensing autophagosome biogenesis. This autophagy-regulatory function is genetically essential, evolutionarily conserved and functionally separable from glycolysis. It is regulated by Atg1/ULK1-mediated phosphorylation that enhances Atg14 binding under starvation. Functionally, PGAM1 coordinates anabolic growth and stress-induced survival to maintain cellular homeostasis. In cancer, PGAM1 upregulation enhances both glycolytic flux and autophagy capacity. Disruption of either function markedly impairs tumour growth, establishing PGAM1 as a homeostatic checkpoint that is hijacked in cancer to drive both proliferation and stress tolerance.

Although several regulators of fasting-induced transcription and chromatin are known, how nutrient levels directly influence RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and epigenetic writers remains unclear. Here we show that lipid kinase class 3 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K-3), a master regulator of autophagy, also functions on chromatin as a co-activator of epigenetic writers to promote RNAPII transcription. PI3K-3 overlaps with transcriptionally engaged RNAPII phosphorylated at Ser5 and with Setd1a/COMPASS, the complex that deposits the activating H3K4me3 mark. Nuclear PI3K-3 interacts with RNAPII and Setd1a/COMPASS and promotes their chromatin binding. PI3K-3 loss reduces RNAPII-S5p and H3K4me3 at selected genes, whereas PI3K-3 overexpression co-activates p300/CBP and chromatin-targeted PI3K-3 increases H3K4me3. During starvation, PI3K-3 induces autophagy genes and drives fasted liver towards ketogenesis and lipid degradation. These findings link nutrient stress to chromatin-mediated transcriptional activation. Henneman et al. report an unexpected role for class 3 PI3K (PI3K-3) acting as a transcriptional co-activator during fasting.

Here we use a fluorescent reporter that marks CSCs to show that CSCs and their more differentiated progeny display strikingly different population dynamics during metastatic lung colonization in breast cancer models. CSC expansion is rapidly curtailed early in colonization, suggesting a strong negative feedback mechanism acting selectively on this subpopulation. We showed that CSCs are exceptionally sensitive to local microenvironmental cues such as cell crowding and nutrient availability. They respond earlier and more extensively than their differentiated progeny, thereby coupling tumour growth to resource and space availability. Microenvironmental signals converge on the transcriptional regulatory complex YAP/TAZ/TEAD, with CSC sensitivity arising from elevated signal reception and greater chromatin accessibility at TEAD-regulated enhancers. Targeting upstream inputs to this pathway reversed chemotherapy-induced CSC enrichment in lung metastases, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy. Using a dynamic fluorescent reporter, Tang et al. demonstrate that cancer stem cells are hyper-responsive to microenvironmental cues, which they sense and adapt to through YAP/TAZ signalling, thereby playing an essential role in breast cancer lung metastasis.","PeriodicalId":18977,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cell Biology","volume":"28 8","pages":"1728-1741"},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-026-02013-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148605373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
