    Disruption of awake sharp-wave ripples does not affect memorization of locations in repeated-acquisition spatial memory tasks

    Lies Deceuninck, Fabian Kloosterman
    Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples are not required for rats to successfully perform spatial tasks that rely on memorization of locations at short timescales.

    Hammerhead-type FXR agonists induce an enhancer RNA Fincor that ameliorates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in mice

    Jinjing Chen, Ruoyu Wang ... Jongsook Kemper
    Pharmacological activation of farnesoid X (FXR) receptor by hammerhead-type agonists induces a novel enhancer RNA, termed Fincor, contributing to the amelioration of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in mice.

    Early recovery of proteasome activity in cells pulse-treated with proteasome inhibitors is independent of DDI2

    Ibtisam Ibtisam, Alexei F Kisselev
    Genetic and biochemical approaches reveal that mammalian cells possess a novel DDI2 and transcription-independent pathway for the rapid recovery of proteasome activity after clinically relevant pulse treatment with proteasome inhibitors.

    Continuous endosomes form functional subdomains and orchestrate rapid membrane trafficking in trypanosomes

    Fabian Link, Alyssa Borges ... Markus Engstler
    The endosomal apparatus of African trypanosomes consists a continuous membrane system with functional subdomains rather than distinct compartments for early, late, and recycling endosomes.

    A remarkable genetic shift in a transmitted/founder virus broadens antibody responses against HIV-1

    Swati Jain, Gherman Uritskiy ... Venigalla B Rao
    HIV escapes human immune pressure through a single mutation in V2 domain of envelope protein leading to emergence of mutant-specific broadly reactive antibodies, a phenomenon recapitulated in combinatorial vaccine design.

    Tissue-specific O-GlcNAcylation profiling identifies substrates in translational machinery in Drosophila mushroom body contributing to olfactory learning

    Haibin Yu, Dandan Liu ... Kai Yuan
    Brain region-specific profiling of O-GlcNAcylation interactome in Drosophila mushroom body suggests that hypo-O-GlcNAcylation impacts cognitive function by regulating translational activity.

    Guanidine production by plant homoarginine-6-hydroxylases

    Dietmar Funck, Malte Sinn ... Jörg S Hartig
    2-Oxoglutarate and Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenases from clade C23 are the major source of guanidine in plants and release guanidine from arginine or homoarginine by C5 or C6 hydroxylation, respectively.

    A myristoyl switch at the plasma membrane triggers cleavage and oligomerization of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus matrix protein

    Markéta Častorálová, Jakub Sýs ... Tomas Ruml
    Biochemical and instrumental analysis showed that the membrane-induced exposure of myristoyl from the MA protein of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus triggers allosteric conformational changes resulting in MA oligomerization and unfolding of the cleavage site between MA and downstream domains of Gag.

    The evolution of transposable elements in Brachypodium distachyon is governed by purifying selection, while neutral and adaptive processes play a minor role

    Robert Horvath, Nikolaos Minadakis ... Anne C Roulin
    Disentangling the different selective forces shaping the evolutionary dynamics of transposable elements (TEs) in the wild grass Brachypodium distachyon.

    Deciphering molecular heterogeneity and dynamics of human hippocampal neural stem cells at different ages and injury states

    Junjun Yao, Shaoxing Dai ... Tianqing Li
    A single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas reveals the molecular signatures and trajectory dynamics of the neurogenic lineage in the human hippocampus during neonatal development, adulthood, aging, and after injury.
