Transcriptional repression in ES cells
Letter by LiangNanog and Oct4 transcription factors regulate ES cell fate but exactly how is unclear. Songyang and colleagues show that Nanog and Oct4 act together in a novel NODE repressor complex that includes histone deacetylases HDAC1/2 and other repressors.

Cytoplasmic p53 inhibits autophagy
Article by Tasdemirp53 transcription activity induces autophagy. Kroemer and colleagues show that cytoplasmic p53 represses autophagy in various cellular and animal models. Enhanced autophagy in p53-deficient cells improves their survival and mutiple autophagy inducers upregulate the degradation of cytoplasmic p53.
