    α1-Adrenergic receptor–PKC–Pyk2–Src signaling boosts L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 activity and long-term potentiation in rodents

    Kwun Nok Mimi Man, Peter Bartels ... Johannes W Hell
    The α1-adrenergic receptor augments the activity of the L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 through PKC and the tyrosine kinases Pyk2 and Src and thereby synaptic plasticity.

    A simple mechanism for integration of quorum sensing and cAMP signalling in Vibrio cholerae

    Lucas M Walker, James RJ Haycocks ... David C Grainger
    Overlapping DNA-binding specificity allows global transcription factors to cooperatively bind the same DNA sites and integrate two signals in the control of gene expression.

    Remapping in a recurrent neural network model of navigation and context inference

    Isabel IC Low, Lisa M Giocomo, Alex H Williams
    Recurrent neural networks trained to navigate and infer latent states exhibit strikingly similar remapping patterns to those observed in navigational brain areas, inspiring new analyses of published data and suggesting a possible function for spontaneous remapping to support context-dependent navigation.

    Connectomics of the Octopus vulgaris vertical lobe provides insight into conserved and novel principles of a memory acquisition network

    Flavie Bidel, Yaron Meirovitch ... Binyamin Hochner
    Connectomics of the octopus 'fan-out fan-in’ learning network reveals that the intermediate layer uses approximately 22×106 excitatory interneurons, each can store a single sensory input, while approximately 400×103 integrating inhibitory interneurons adjust the network output level.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    The evolutionary mechanism of non-carbapenemase carbapenem-resistant phenotypes in Klebsiella spp

    Natalia C Rosas, Jonathan Wilksch ... Trevor Lithgow
    Genetic, phenotypic, and evolutionary analysis of a clinical isolate provides an explanation of the intricate genetic factors behind non-carbapenemase carbapenem resistance and sheds light on the evolutionary mechanisms that influence the molecular basis of antibiotic resistance.

    Defining function of wild-type and three patient-specific TP53 mutations in a zebrafish model of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma

    Jiangfei Chen, Kunal Baxi ... Myron S Ignatius
    Zebrafish are an optimal model organism to study rare TP53 mutations whose functions are not readily understood.

    Epidemiological characteristics and prevalence rates of research reproducibility across disciplines: A scoping review of articles published in 2018-2019

    Kelly D Cobey, Christophe A Fehlmann ... David Moher
    Definitions of reproducibility vary considerably across disciplines and overall rates of reproducibility are low irrespective of the definition used.

    Phase separation-mediated actin bundling by the postsynaptic density condensates

    Xudong Chen, Bowen Jia ... Mingjie Zhang
    Biochemical and cell biology studies reveal that postsynaptic density condensates of neuronal synapses and actin cytoskeletons can directly communicate with each other in a phase separation-dependent manner.

    Genome editing of an African elite rice variety confers resistance against endemic and emerging Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strains

    Van Schepler-Luu, Coline Sciallano ... Wolf B Frommer
    Discovery of a rapidly spreading outbreak of bacterial blight in Tanzania caused by a Xanthomonas strain that originates from Asia and editing of Komboka rice lines resistant to the newly introduced strains and to other Asian and African strains.
