    Isoform-specific mutation in Dystonin-b gene causes late-onset protein aggregate myopathy and cardiomyopathy

    Nozomu Yoshioka, Masayuki Kurose ... Hirohide Takebayashi
    Dystonin-b-specific mutant mice exhibit late-onset myopathy and cardiomyopathy.

    COVID-19 pandemic dynamics in South Africa and epidemiological characteristics of three variants of concern (Beta, Delta, and Omicron)

    Wan Yang, Jeffrey L Shaman
    Model-inference reconstructed SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics in South Africa during March 2020 to February 2022, and quantified the immune erosion potential and transmissibility of three major variants (Beta, Delta, and Omicron), highlighting their common characteristics and the need for more proactive preparedness.

    The rapid developmental rise of somatic inhibition disengages hippocampal dynamics from self-motion

    Robin F Dard, Erwan Leprince ... Michel A Picardo
    The first postnatal week ends with the development of perisomatic innervation and with an abrupt switch in the representation of self-motion in the region CA1 of the mouse hippocampus.

    Visualizing synaptic dopamine efflux with a 2D composite nanofilm

    Chandima Bulumulla, Andrew T Krasley ... Abraham G Beyene
    A technology for measuring release of dopamine simultaneously from hundreds of release sites at the spatial resolution of a synapse is provided.

    Type 1 piliated uropathogenic Escherichia coli hijack the host immune response by binding to CD14

    Kathrin Tomasek, Alexander Leithner ... Michael Sixt
    By binding with their type 1 pili to the cell surface receptor CD14, pathogenic E. coli suppress the capacity of dendritic cells to activate T cells.

    Multistep loading of a DNA sliding clamp onto DNA by replication factor C

    Marina Schrecker, Juan C Castaneda ... Richard K Hite
    Single-particle cryo-EM structures reveal a multistep process of how DNA is loaded into the DNA sliding clamp proliferating cell nuclear antigen by the canonical clamp loader replication factor C.

    Polysome-CAGE of TCL1-driven chronic lymphocytic leukemia revealed multiple N-terminally altered epigenetic regulators and a translation stress signature

    Ariel Ogran, Tal Havkin-Solomon ... Rivka Dikstein
    Examination of the changes in the transcription start site selection in TCL1-driven chronic lymphocytic leukemia and their impact on mRNA translation revealed a marked elevation of intra-genic cryptic promoters, which are predicted to generate multiple N-terminally truncated or modified proteins.

    Adiposity may confound the association between vitamin D and disease risk – a lifecourse Mendelian randomization study

    Tom G Richardson, Grace M Power, George Davey Smith
    Genetic analyses provide evidence that adiposity influences vitamin D levels at different timepoints over the lifecourse, suggesting that associations previously reported between vitamin D deficiency and disease by conventional epidemiological studies may have been prone to confounding.

    A network of cytosolic (co)chaperones promotes the biogenesis of mitochondrial signal-anchored outer membrane proteins

    Layla Drwesh, Benjamin Heim ... Doron Rapaport
    An array of cytosolic co-chaperones and chaperones helps to maintain newly synthesized mitochondrial outer membrane proteins in an import competent state.

    Mutational robustness changes during long-term adaptation in laboratory budding yeast populations

    Milo S Johnson, Michael M Desai
    Yeast populations lose mutational robustness during evolution in one environment but not in another due to the collective effect of a large number of idiosyncratic epistatic interactions.
