RNA Pol II Loss and Transcription-Independent Cell Death
2026-09-02
Harper et al. show that RNA polymerase II inhibition kills cells through an active apoptotic response triggered by loss of hypophosphorylated RNA Pol IIA, rather than simply through depletion of transcripts and proteins. The study defines the Pol II degradation-dependent apoptotic response (PDAR), providing a framework for interpreting transcription-targeting drugs and designing mechanistically resolved cell-death assays.

BHPF–GPER1 Signaling in Neuroblastoma Apoptosis
2026-08-31
The 2024 study identifies fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF) as a suspected GPER1 inhibitor that binds key receptor residues and disrupts agonist-evoked calcium signaling in human neuroblastoma cells. Its integrated use of molecular dynamics, receptor knockout, site-directed mutagenesis, and cellular assays provides a mechanistic framework for interpreting endocrine-disrupting effects beyond classical estrogen receptors.
