    SARS-CoV-2 Nsp14 mediates the effects of viral infection on the host cell transcriptome

    Michela Zaffagni, Jenna M Harris ... Sebastian Kadener
    In the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection, Nsp14 alters gene expression of the host cell through the interaction with the cellular enzyme IMPDH2.

    Cryo-EM structure of the human somatostatin receptor 2 complex with its agonist somatostatin delineates the ligand-binding specificity

    Yunseok Heo, Eojin Yoon ... Weontae Lee
    The atomic resolution cryo-EM structure of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) provides insights into the mechanism by which SSTRs recognize their ligands and will serve as a platform to develop selective agonists and therapeutics.

    Genetic loci and metabolic states associated with murine epigenetic aging

    Khyobeni Mozhui, Ake T Lu ... Steve Horvath
    Age-dependent changes in DNA methylation are tightly coupled to the metabolic state, and is partly under genetic regulation, and longer lifespan is associated with lower epigenetic entropy at CpGs that increase in methylation with age.

    Task-related hemodynamic responses in human early visual cortex are modulated by task difficulty and behavioral performance

    Charlie S Burlingham, Minyoung Ryoo ... Elisha P Merriam
    The fMRI-BOLD signal in human early visual cortex reflects alertness and behavioral performance on the timescale of individual trials.

    Concerted modification of nucleotides at functional centers of the ribosome revealed by single-molecule RNA modification profiling

    Andrew D Bailey, Jason Talkish ... Manuel Ares
    A method enabling identification of more than 100 RNA modifications in single ribosomal RNA molecules uncovers new classes of modified ribosomes.

    Rapid adaptation of endocytosis, exocytosis, and eisosomes after an acute increase in membrane tension in yeast cells

    Joël Lemière, Yuan Ren, Julien Berro
    Within minutes after an abrupt increase in membrane tension, yeast cells reduce their membrane tension by modulating their rate of endocytosis and exocytosis, and adapt their endocytic actin machinery.

    Neuronal origins of reduced accuracy and biases in economic choices under sequential offers

    Weikang Shi, Sebastien Ballesta, Camillo Padoa-Schioppa
    Neuronal activity in the primate orbitofrontal cortex reveals different choice biases observed when offers are presented sequentially originate at different stages of the decision process.

    Autoinhibition and regulation by phosphoinositides of ATP8B1, a human lipid flippase associated with intrahepatic cholestatic disorders

    Thibaud Dieudonné, Sara Abad Herrera ... Guillaume Lenoir
    Single particle cryo-electron microscopy associated with functional studies reveal a critical role of N- and C-terminal tails in the autoinhibition of the disease-related ATP8B1-CDC50A lipid flippase, the possible role of phosphorylation in autoinhibition relief, and strong activation by PI(3,4,5)P3.
