A Perspective focused on post-translational modifications of histone proteins and their selective recognition by epigenetic 'readers' highlights the importance of structural insights in understanding these key interactions in gene expression regulation.
Bioorthogonal chemistry approaches have traditionally focused on selective ligation reactions between compatible reactive groups. This Perspective highlights progress in developing bioorthogonal cleavage reactions for diverse applications in chemical biology.
This Perspective discusses recent advances in understanding the biochemistry, enzymology and cell biology of Wnt fatty acylation and its effects on signaling and cancer.
