    Structural characterization of NrnC identifies unifying features of dinucleases

    Justin D Lormand, Soo-Kyoung Kim ... Holger Sondermann
    Dinucleases, specialized enzymes that catalyze the final step in RNA degradation, have evolved independently and repeatedly to fulfill essential roles in cell growth.

    Local adaptation and archaic introgression shape global diversity at human structural variant loci

    Stephanie M Yan, Rachel M Sherman ... Rajiv C McCoy
    Graph genotyping of structural variation in diverse human populations reveals functional associations and signatures of local adaptation within poorly resolved regions of the genome.

    Information content differentiates enhancers from silencers in mouse photoreceptors

    Ryan Z Friedman, David M Granas ... Michael A White
    Silencers and enhancers targeted by a common transcription factor in photoreceptors are distinguished by the number and diversity of binding transcription factor binding sites they contain.

    Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in Sox2 and Bra expression guides progenitor motility and destiny

    Michèle Romanos, Guillaume Allio ... Bertrand Bénazéraf
    Spatial variations of transcription factor expression regulate the choice of progenitors to stay in their niche or to migrate into neural and mesodermal tissues.

    Neural excitability and sensory input determine intensity perception with opposing directions in initial cortical responses

    Tilman Stephani, Alice Hodapp ... Vadim V Nikulin
    Larger evoked responses during initial cortical processing may reflect states of lower excitability.

    Protective mitochondrial fission induced by stress-responsive protein GJA1-20k

    Daisuke Shimura, Esther Nuebel ... Robin M Shaw
    Stress-induced alternative translation of an otherwise common gap junction protein generates an isoform that orchestrates protective mitochondrial fission and organ protection during anticipated ischemia.

    Visualizing formation of the active site in the mitochondrial ribosome

    Viswanathan Chandrasekaran, Nirupa Desai ... V Ramakrishnan
    GTPBP7, NSUN4, and MTERF4 facilitate maturation of the peptidyl transferase center of the mitochondrial ribosome.

    Unbiased identification of novel transcription factors in striatal compartmentation and striosome maturation

    Maria-Daniela Cirnaru, Sicheng Song ... Michelle E Ehrlich
    RNAseq and ATACseq are utilized to identify transcription factors participating in striatal compartmentation into striosome and matrix, and roles for Stat1, Olig2, and Foxf2 are validated in vitro and in vivo.

    Y chromosome functions in mammalian spermatogenesis

    Jeremie Subrini, James Turner
    The mammalian Y chromosome has become specialised for male fertility, but exact functions of individual Y genes remain poorly understood, a knowledge gap that new approaches can bridge.

    Endoplasmic reticulum tubules limit the size of misfolded protein condensates

    Smriti Parashar, Ravi Chidambaram ... Susan Ferro-Novick
    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) uses ER tubules and specific ER autophagy machinery to prevent toxic, dominant-interfering, disease-causing, mutant proteins from entering the secretory pathway.
