RNA Pol II Loss Triggers Apoptosis Beyond Transcription
2026-08-19
Harper and colleagues show that RNA polymerase II inhibition kills cells through an active apoptotic signaling response rather than through passive loss of transcriptional output. Their identification of the Pol II degradation-dependent apoptotic response (PDAR) provides a framework for interpreting how transcription-targeting and other anticancer drugs can converge on mitochondrial cell death.

UBR1 and UBR2: Mammalian ER Stress Sensors
2026-08-17
The reference study identifies the E3 ligases UBR1 and UBR2 as mammalian N-recognins that connect the N-degron pathway with ER stress adaptation. Its findings show that stress-dependent stabilization of these proteins supports protein quality control, whereas their loss increases susceptibility to ER stress-induced apoptosis.
