RESUMEN
The rapid development of green energy would render a profound impact on the non-ferrous metals markets in China. This paper adopts the quantile vector autoregression (QVAR) to investigate the spillover effects between China's green energy and non-ferrous metals markets as well as their dynamic pattern under normal and extreme conditions. Furthermore, GARCH-MIDAS model and quantile regression method are applied to examine the impact of China's climate policy uncertainty on the spillovers between the two markets. In doing so, we find that green energy markets mainly act as transmitters of return spillover effects to non-ferrous metals markets during normal market times and periods of downturns. However, in upturns, the non-ferrous metals markets would easily transit spillover effects to green energy ones. It is further indicated that China's climate policy uncertainty exacerbates the spillover effect, and the exacerbated effect of high uncertainty on the market relationship when the spillover effect is at high level is the most significant.

Chromatin priming promotes cell-type-specific gene expression, lineage differentiation, and development. The mechanism of chromatin priming has not been fully understood. Here, we report that mouse hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) lacking the Baf155 subunit of the BAF (BRG1/BRM-associated factor) chromatin remodeling complex produce a significantly reduced number of mature blood cells, leading to a failure of hematopoietic regeneration upon transplantation and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) injury. Baf155-deficient HSPCs generate particularly fewer neutrophils, B cells, and CD8+ T cells at homeostasis, supporting a more immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment and enhanced tumor growth. Single-nucleus multiomics analysis reveals that Baf155-deficient HSPCs fail to establish accessible chromatin in selected regions that are enriched for putative enhancers and binding motifs of hematopoietic lineage transcription factors. Our study provides a fundamental mechanistic understanding of the role of Baf155 in hematopoietic lineage chromatin priming and the functional consequences of Baf155 deficiency in regeneration and tumor immunity.
RESUMEN
Comparative genomics has revealed the rapid expansion of multiple gene families involved in immunity. Members within each gene family often evolved distinct roles in immunity. However, less is known about the evolution of their epigenome and cis-regulation. Here we systematically profile the epigenome of the recently expanded murine Ly49 gene family that mainly encode either inhibitory or activating surface receptors on natural killer cells. We identify a set of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) for activating Ly49 genes. In addition, we show that in mice, inhibitory and activating Ly49 genes are regulated by two separate sets of proximal CREs, likely resulting from lineage-specific losses of CRE activity. Furthermore, we find that some Ly49 genes are cross-regulated by the CREs of other Ly49 genes, suggesting that the Ly49 family has begun to evolve a concerted cis-regulatory mechanism. Collectively, we demonstrate the different modes of cis-regulatory evolution for a rapidly expanding gene family.
