    Glucose-stimulated KIF5B-driven microtubule sliding organizes microtubule networks in mouse pancreatic β cells

    Kai M Bracey, Margret A Fye ... Irina Kaverina
    Sub-membrane microtubule array, known to prevent excessive glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, depends on kinesin-1 KIF5B, which moves microtubules to both generate and remodel this array, potentially regulating the dosage of secretion.

    Characterization of binding kinetics and intracellular signaling of new psychoactive substances targeting cannabinoid receptor using transition-based reweighting method

    Soumajit Dutta, Diwakar Shukla
    New psychoactive substances activate cannabinoid receptors using distinct ligand-receptor interactions.

    Insight into the bioactivity and action mode of betulin, a candidate aphicide from plant metabolite, against aphids

    Junxiu Wang, Matthana Klakong ... Hong Zhou
    The insecticidal activity of betulin, a plant-derived metabolite, against the peach aphid depends on specific targeting and inhibition of MpGABR.

    Short heat shock factor A2 regulates heat resistance and growth balance in Arabidopsis

    Wanxia Chen, Jiaqi Zhao ... Xiaoting Qi
    Short heat shock factor variants prevent hyperactivation of thermotolerance through a noncanonical heat shock response, thereby balancing heat stress response and plant growth.

    Engineering NIR-sighted bacteria

    Stefanie SM Meier, Michael Hörzing ... Andreas Möglich
    Custom-tailored bathy-phytochromes control bacterial gene expression by near-infrared light while exhibiting minimal response to red light, thus unlocking innovative application scenarios.

    Relative timescale of channel voltage dependence and channel density regulation impacts assembly and recovery of activity

    Yugarshi Mondal, Ronald L Calabrese, Eve Marder
    Ion channel voltage-dependence alterations can shape intrinsic homeostatic plasticity, even if operating faster than other intrinsic regulatory processes—where timescale separation would suggest its influence should be negligible.

    Distinct functions of cardiac β-adrenergic receptors in the T-tubule vs. outer surface membrane

    George WP Madders, Marion Barthé ... Rodolphe Fischmeister
    A size exclusion strategy using PEGylation of isoprenaline allowed to demonstrate that cardiac β-adrenergic receptors located in the outer surface membrane control mainly cAMP/PKA in the cytosol while those located in the T-tubule membrane control cAMP/PKA in the nucleus.
