    Synaptic connectivity to L2/3 of primary visual cortex measured by two-photon optogenetic stimulation

    Travis A Hage, Alice Bosma-Moody ... Gabe J Murphy
    A combination of multicellular recording and optogenetic photostimulation was used to deeply characterize the spatial profiles and effective strengths of intralaminar and translaminar synaptic connections from genetically defined neuronal populations in the visual cortex of adult mouse.

    Adaptation of the periplasm to maintain spatial constraints essential for cell envelope processes and cell viability

    Eric Mandela, Christopher J Stubenrauch ... Iain D Hay
    The bacterial periplasm must adapt to factors effecting the width of the cell envelope.

    Functional CDKN2A assay identifies frequent deleterious alleles misclassified as variants of uncertain significance

    Hirokazu Kimura, Raymond M Paranal ... Nicholas J Roberts
    Over 40% of CDKN2A variants of uncertain significance identified in patients with pancreatic cancer are functionally deleterious and can be reclassified as likely pathogenic with implications for care of patients and their relatives.

    Intrinsic mechanisms in the gating of resurgent Na+ currents

    Joseph L Ransdell, Jonathan D Moreno ... Jeanne M Nerbonne
    Experimental and modeling results reveal that the activation of resurgent sodium currents relies on the recovery of inactivated channels into a conducting state, and that the decay of resurgent currents reflects the accumulation of these channels into a slow-inactivated state.

    Preexisting memory CD4 T cells in naïve individuals confer robust immunity upon hepatitis B vaccination

    George Elias, Pieter Meysman ... Benson Ogunjimi
    High-throughput sequencing of the memory T cell receptor repertoire and machine learning can predict robust antibody and CD4 T cell response to de novo hepatitis B vaccine.

    LRET-derived HADDOCK structural models describe the conformational heterogeneity required for DNA cleavage by the Mre11-Rad50 DNA damage repair complex

    Marella D Canny, Michael P Latham
    Multiple solution-state structures are used for the DNA double-strand break repair functions of the Mre11-Rad50 protein complex.

    Protein-lipid interaction at low pH induces oligomerization of the MakA cytotoxin from Vibrio cholerae

    Aftab Nadeem, Alexandra Berg ... Sun Nyunt Wai
    MakA, a pore-forming cytotoxin produced by Vibrio cholerae, forms oligomers and remodels membranes into high-curvature tubes, resulting in membrane integrity loss inside acidified organelle lumens or when cultured with cells in an acidic medium.

    Multiple 9-1-1 complexes promote homolog synapsis, DSB repair, and ATR signaling during mammalian meiosis

    Catalina Pereira, Gerardo A Arroyo-Martinez ... Robert S Weiss
    Alternative 9-1-1 complexes have evolved to play essential roles in mammalian meiosis and function to activate the protein kinase ATR and promote key meiotic events necessary for fertility.

    Phosphoproteomics of ATR signaling in mouse testes

    Jennie R Sims, Vitor M Faça ... Marcus B Smolka
    An in-depth map of ATR signaling during mouse meiosis is revealed using a combination of genetic and pharmacological approaches coupled to quantitative mass spectrometry.

    Connexin hemichannels with prostaglandin release in anabolic function of bone to mechanical loading

    Dezhi Zhao, Manuel A Riquelme ... Jean X Jiang
    Connexin 43 hemichannel activation associated with prostaglandin release in osteocytes plays an important role in anabolic function of mechanical loading on bone tissue and hemichannels could be a potential new therapeutic target for treating bone loss and osteoporosis.
