    Doublecortin and JIP3 are neural-specific counteracting regulators of dynein-mediated retrograde trafficking

    Xiaoqin Fu, Lu Rao ... Judy Shih-Hwa Liu
    DCX negatively regulates dynein-mediated retrograde transport through two critical interactions by regulating dynein binding to microtubules and regulating the composition of dynein/dyactin/JIP3 motor complex.

    Thalamocortical contributions to cognitive task activity

    Kai Hwang, James M Shine ... Evan Sorenson
    Human thalamic activity transformed via thalamocortical functional connectivity to support task representations across functional domains.

    Long non-coding RNA Neat1 and paraspeckle components are translational regulators in hypoxia

    Anne-Claire Godet, Emilie Roussel ... Anne-Catherine Prats
    LncRNA Neat1, with paraspeckle proteins, controls translational induction of (lymph)angiogenic and cardioprotective factors by the IRES-dependent mechanism in mouse cardiomyocytes submitted to hypoxia.

    Single amino acid residue mediates reciprocal specificity in two mosquito odorant receptors

    Flavia P Franco, Pingxi Xu ... Walter S Leal
    The southern house mosquito senses the oviposition attractants skatole and indole with two receptor proteins sharing only 50% amino acid identity, and having the residues alanine-73 and leucine-74 in the skatole and indole receptors, respectively, control their specificity.

    Clonally related, Notch-differentiated spinal neurons integrate into distinct circuits

    Saul Bello-Rojas, Martha W Bagnall
    Pairs of spinal cord neurons arising from a shared progenitor get input from and make outputs to mostly different synaptic partners.

    Is calcium a link between inflammatory bone resorption and heart disease?

    Gordon L Klein
    A mechanism is proposed that allows investigators to study interventions to delay onset of heart disease in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory disease with bone loss.

    Working strokes produced by curling protofilaments at disassembling microtubule tips can be biochemically tuned and vary with species

    Lucas E Murray, Haein Kim ... Charles L Asbury
    Laser trap measurements show that mechanical work output from curling protofilaments is enhanced by adding magnesium, and that yeast microtubules generate larger and more energetic working strokes than bovine microtubules.

    Prevalent and dynamic binding of the cell cycle checkpoint kinase Rad53 to gene promoters

    Yi-Jun Sheu, Risa Karakida Kawaguchi ... Bruce Stillman
    The localization of Rad53 cell cycle checkpoint kinase to many gene promoters and the dynamic changes in response to replication stress suggests that the kinase may coordinate genome stability and gene expression.

    Cell cycle-specific loading of condensin I is regulated by the N-terminal tail of its kleisin subunit

    Shoji Tane, Keishi Shintomi ... Tatsuya Hirano
    In vitro assays using Xenopus egg extracts provide evidence that mitosis-specific loading of condensin I is accelerated by phosphorylation of the N-terminal tail of its kleisin subunit.

    A selective LIS1 requirement for mitotic spindle assembly discriminates distinct T-cell division mechanisms within the T-cell lineage

    Jérémy Argenty, Nelly Rouquié ... Renaud Lesourne
    Mouse deficiencies for the dynein-binding protein LIS1 reveal different cell division mechanisms across T-cell subsets.
