Description

Johannes Benedum and co-authors study two sibling proteins that help control gene reading in a 2023 paper. The proteins, DIDO3 and PHF3, latch onto the cell's main transcription machine as it moves along a gene. Together they form a complex that links that machine with chromatin and with RNA processing factors, holding it in a droplet-like local zone.

The pair pull in partly shared, partly opposed ways. Both are needed for nerve cell development, and each controls a set of nerve genes. When PHF3 is missing, DIDO3 rises to compensate. DIDO alone also manages genes for fat metabolism. The authors describe a layered control system in which the two paralogues share, split, and back up each other's jobs.
