   Molecular mechanism of complement inhibition by the trypanosome receptor ISG65

   Alexander D Cook, Mark Carrington, Matthew K Higgins

   A structure derived from cryogenic electron microscopy shows how ISG65, an African trypanosome receptor that aids virulence, binds C3b and suggests mechanisms through which ISG65 might aid complement resistance.

   Foxp3 depends on Ikaros for control of regulatory T cell gene expression and function

   Rajan M Thomas, Matthew C Pahl ... Andrew D Wells

   Foxp3 and Ikaros, two transcription factors genetically linked to autoimmune disease in humans, cooperate to establish the epigenomic and transcriptomic landscape of regulatory T cells.

   PURA syndrome-causing mutations impair PUR-domain integrity and affect P-body association

   Marcel Proske, Robert Janowski ... Dierk Niessing

   Structural promiscuity in PURA protein, induced by patient mutations, impacts nucleic acid binding, unwinding, and subcellular localization, indicating why so many patients display the full disease spectrum of PURA syndrome.

   Octopamine integrates the status of internal energy supply into the formation of food-related memories

   Michael Berger, Michèle Fraatz ... Henrike Scholz

   Intense starvation with high internal energy levels results in remarkably stable food-related memories that persist beyond actual food intake and are associated with overeating.

   Chronic intermittent hypoxia reveals role of the Postinspiratory Complex in the mediation of normal swallow production

   Alyssa D Huff, Marlusa Karlen-Amarante ... Jan-Marino Ramirez

   Glutamatergic–cholinergic neurons in the postinspiratory complex are critical for swallow motor patterning and the coordination of swallow and breathing, which is disrupted by chronic intermittent hypoxia, a condition seen in many disorders associated with dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia.

   A multi-hierarchical approach reveals d-serine as a hidden substrate of sodium-coupled monocarboxylate transporters

   Pattama Wiriyasermkul, Satomi Moriyama ... Shushi Nagamori

   An unbiased approach unveils a non-canonical substrate of the known transporters, highlighting the mechanism behind the use of D-serine as a kidney biomarker.

   Inhibitory G proteins play multiple roles to polarize sensory hair cell morphogenesis

   Amandine Jarysta, Abigail LD Tadenev ... Basile Tarchini

   Sensory hair cells in the inner ear use inhibitory G proteins with different regulators at different stages of development to break symmetry, adopt a proper orientation, and grow stereocilia.

    LRMP inhibits cAMP potentiation of HCN4 channels by disrupting intramolecular signal transduction

    Colin H Peters, Rohit K Singh ... John R Bankston

    A combination of patch clamp electrophysiology and FRET determine critical interactions between HCN4 channels and the ER resident protein LRMP and suggest a possible mechanism for reduced cAMP sensitivity.
