    Characterization of caffeine response regulatory variants in vascular endothelial cells

    Carly Boye, Cynthia A Kalita ... Francesca Luca
    Caffeine modulates the genetic risk for cardiovascular disease through changes in target gene expression, likely due to regulation of transcription factor binding.

    A methylation-phosphorylation switch controls EZH2 stability and hematopoiesis

    Pengfei Guo, Rebecca C Lim ... Hui Zhang
    EZH2 is regulated by a K20-methylation dependent proteolysis and this proteolysis process is negatively controlled by AKT-mediated S21 phosphorylation to establish a methylation-phosphorylation switch to control the PRC2 activity and hematopoiesis.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    Evolutionary rate covariation is a reliable predictor of co-functional interactions but not necessarily physical interactions

    Jordan Little, Maria Chikina, Nathan L Clark
    Physical interactions are a minor contributor to the correlations in evolutionary rate over time that are observed between co-functional proteins.

    A seven-sex species recognizes self and non-self mating-type via a novel protein complex

    Guanxiong Yan, Yang Ma ... Wei Miao
    A giant multifunctional protein complex mediates mating-type recognition through a non-ligand–receptor mechanism in a multisexual species.

    Host and viral determinants of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the Syrian hamster

    Julia R Port, Dylan H Morris ... Vincent J Munster
    An experimental animal model provides further insights into the host and viral mechanisms underlying airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

    Binding to nucleosome poises human SIRT6 for histone H3 deacetylation

    Ekaterina Smirnova, Emmanuelle Bignon ... Adam Ben Shem
    The dynamics of Sirtuin 6 binding to the nucleosome shed light on how it is able to deacetylate histone H3 lysines close to the core, including K27.

    Temporal transcriptomic dynamics in developing macaque neocortex

    Longjiang Xu, Zan Yuan ... Xiaozhong Peng
    A useful single-cell resource provides the prenatal macaque different cell types’ gene expression profiles in the parietal cerebral cortex lobe.

    Effect of an enhanced public health contact tracing intervention on the secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in educational settings: The four-way decomposition analysis

    Olivera Djuric, Elisabetta Larosa ... The Reggio Emilia Covid-19 Working Group
    Prompt contact tracing (testing at the beginning instead of at the end of isolation period) of individuals with COVID-19 in the community reduces delays in contact tracing, increases identification of source of infection, and reduces transmission rates in educational settings.

    The structural repertoire of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici effectors revealed by experimental and computational studies

    Daniel S Yu, Megan A Outram ... Simon J Williams
    Computational and experimental structural biology reveals the structural repertoire of effector proteins produced by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici during infection of tomato.
    1. Neuroscience

    The mTOR pathway genes MTOR, Rheb, Depdc5, Pten, and Tsc1 have convergent and divergent impacts on cortical neuron development and function

    Lena H Nguyen, Youfen Xu ... Angelique Bordey
    Expression of mTORC1 pathway gene variants in mouse medial prefrontal cortex leads to shared alterations in pyramidal neuron morphology, positioning, and membrane excitability but different changes in excitatory synaptic transmission.
