    Unsuppressed HIV infection impairs T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and abrogates T cell cross-recognition

    Thandeka Nkosi, Caroline Chasara ... Zaza M Ndhlovu
    Cross-reactive T cell immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 is severely compromised in HIV viremic individual.

    Vision-related convergent gene losses reveal SERPINE3’s unknown role in the eye

    Henrike Indrischek, Juliane Hammer ... Michael Hiller
    Specific evolutionary gene loss signatures indicated an eye-related function for the uncharacterized SERPINE3 gene, which was experimentally confirmed by zebrafish gene knockouts, showing how comparative genomics can provide insights into the function of uncharacterized genes.

    A computational account of why more valuable goals seem to require more effortful actions

    Emmanuelle Bioud, Corentin Tasu, Mathias Pessiglione
    Behavioural evidence and computational analyses suggest that people tend to decline the pursuit of more rewarded goals because they, wrongly, expect them to require more effortful actions.

    Septin7 is indispensable for proper skeletal muscle architecture and function

    Mónika Gönczi, Zsolt Ráduly ... László Csernoch
    Septin7 is described as a novel component of skeletal muscle cytoskeleton with essential roles in muscle development and the proper organization of the myofilaments and the mitochondrial network while its absence leeds to reduced force and skeletal deformities.

    Regulation of presynaptic Ca2+ channel abundance at active zones through a balance of delivery and turnover

    Karen L Cunningham, Chad W Sauvola ... J Troy Littleton
    Voltage-gated calcium channel delivery to synaptic active zones (AZs) occurs broadly across the population, correlates with AZ size, and is regulated by α2δ, while channel recycling is promoted by new delivery to generate an upper limit on AZ accumulation.

    Distinct elongation stalls during translation are linked with distinct pathways for mRNA degradation

    Anthony J Veltri, Karole N D'Orazio ... Rachel Green
    Genetic screens and functional assays utilizing reporter mRNAs triggering NGD or COMD provide a basis for understanding the unique contributions of each pathway to translation-coupled mRNA decay and contextualizes their effects in the larger cellular process of translation surveillance.

    Selective endocytosis controls slit diaphragm maintenance and dynamics in Drosophila nephrocytes

    Konrad Lang, Julian Milosavljevic ... Tobias Hermle
    To maintain the filtration barrier, slit diaphragms are cleansed by rapid cycles of raft-mediated endocytosis, while dynamin-dependent endocytosis prevents lateral diffusion of slit diaphragm protein.

    Mapping odorant sensitivities reveals a sparse but structured representation of olfactory chemical space by sensory input to the mouse olfactory bulb

    Shawn D Burton, Audrey Brown ... Matt Wachowiak
    Large-scale mapping of sensory input to the mouse olfactory bulb reveals exceptionally narrow tuning of olfactory receptor input to glomeruli and defines a functional map of glomerular sensitivities that is structured with respect to olfactory chemical space.

    Lactoferricins impair the cytosolic membrane of Escherichia coli within a few seconds and accumulate inside the cell

    Enrico F Semeraro, Lisa Marx ... Georg Pabst
    The damage of the bacterial cell envelope is found to be only a secondary effect of the antimicrobial activity of lactoferricin derivatives.

    Transferrin receptor 1-mediated iron uptake regulates bone mass in mice via osteoclast mitochondria and cytoskeleton

    Bhaba K Das, Lei Wang ... Haibo Zhao
    Transferrin receptor 1-mediated iron uptake plays a pivotal role in osteoclast energy metabolism and cytoskeleton and regulates bone remodeling in female mice.
