    Progressive enhancement of kinetic proofreading in T cell antigen discrimination from receptor activation to DAG generation

    Derek M Britain, Jason P Town, Orion David Weiner
    A light-controllable ligand is used to probe where in the signaling cascade T cells discriminate self from non-self.

    An international observational study to assess the impact of the Omicron variant emergence on the clinical epidemiology of COVID-19 in hospitalised patients

    Bronner P Gonçalves, Matthew Hall ... ISARIC Clinical Characterisation Group
    Combined analyses of publicly available population-level variant data and detailed individual-level clinical data can be used to quantify the clinical impact of new SARS-CoV-2 variants in different settings.

    Rvb1/Rvb2 proteins couple transcription and translation during glucose starvation

    Yang S Chen, Wanfu Hou ... Brian M Zid
    A new mechanism of Rvb1/Rvb2 proteins was found that couples transcription, mRNA granular localization and translation of select genes during glucose starvation stress.

    Pathogenic variants of sphingomyelin synthase SMS2 disrupt lipid landscapes in the secretory pathway

    Tolulope Sokoya, Jan Parolek ... Joost CM Holthuis
    Organellar lipidomics and lipid reporter studies in intact cells reveal how disease-relevant mutations in a sphingolipid biosynthetic enzyme cause a wide-ranging perturbation of lipid distributions and membrane properties along the secretory pathway.

    A partially nested cortical hierarchy of neural states underlies event segmentation in the human brain

    Linda Geerligs, Dora Gözükara ... Umut Güçlü
    The ongoing stream of information that comes in through our senses is segmented into distinct neural states at each level of the cortical hierarchy, which underpins our experience of distinct events.

    Detecting molecular interactions in live-cell single-molecule imaging with proximity-assisted photoactivation (PAPA)

    Thomas GW Graham, John Joseph Ferrie ... Xavier Darzacq
    Proximity-assisted photoactivation (PAPA) provides a new way to detect protein–protein interactions in single-molecule imaging of live cells.

    Targeting A-kinase anchoring protein 12 phosphorylation in hepatic stellate cells regulates liver injury and fibrosis in mouse models

    Komal Ramani, Nirmala Mavila ... Eki Seki
    Site-specific phosphorylation of the A-kinase anchoring protein 12 (AKAP12) in hepatic stellate cells modulates its scaffolding function and promotes liver fibrosis.

    The Drosophila ZAD zinc finger protein Kipferl guides Rhino to piRNA clusters

    Lisa Baumgartner, Dominik Handler ... Julius Brennecke
    Kipferl, a ZAD zinc finger protein from Drosophila, determines the chromatin binding specificity of the heterochromatin protein variant Rhino, defining piRNA clusters and preventing Rhino sequestration by selfish Satellite repeats.
