    Discovery and characterization of Hv1-type proton channels in reef-building corals

    Gisela Rangel-Yescas, Cecilia Cervantes ... Leon D Islas
    Proton channels are present in reef-building corals and constitute important molecular players that should help understand calcification and the response of these organisms to ocean acidification.

    The need for practical insecticide-resistance guidelines to effectively inform mosquito-borne disease control programs

    Alice Namias, Ndey Bassin Jobe ... Silvie Huijben
    With standardized insecticide-resistance assays failing to inform mosquito-control efficacy due to genotype-by-environment effects, practical resistance monitoring under relevant local conditions is needed to correlate resistance, mosquito-control efficacy, and disease epidemiology.

    Towards novel herbicide modes of action by inhibiting lysine biosynthesis in plants

    Tatiana P Soares da Costa, Cody J Hall ... Matthew A Perugini
    Proof-of-principle for a new herbicide mode of action through the identification of novel inhibitors of lysine biosynthesis with in planta efficacy.

    Topography and motion of acid-sensing ion channel intracellular domains

    Tyler Couch, Kyle D Berger ... David M Maclean
    The cytosolic elements of the acid-sensing ion channel move toward the plasma membrane when the channel is exposed to acidic conditions.

    The role of P2Y12 in the kinetics of microglial self-renewal and maturation in the adult visual cortex in vivo

    Monique S Mendes, Linh Le ... Ania K Majewska
    Adult microglia are born by the division of single surviving microglia that rapidly acquire mature morphologies and functions in order to perform their physiological roles in the brain.

    Transcriptomic encoding of sensorimotor transformation in the midbrain

    Zhiyong Xie, Mengdi Wang ... Xiaoqun Wang
    Single-cell RNA-sequencing and neural circuitry analyses reveal that sensorimotor transformation of different behaviors which are performed by separate circuit modules in the superior colliculus are molecularly defined by distinct transcriptomic codes of specific neuron subtypes.

    Quantitative live-cell imaging and computational modeling shed new light on endogenous WNT/CTNNB1 signaling dynamics

    Saskia MA de Man, Gooitzen Zwanenburg ... Renée van Amerongen
    Genome editing, advanced live-cell microscopy, and computational modeling were combined to measure WNT/CTNNB1 signaling parameters at the single molecule level, revealing critical regulatory nodes in this important signal transduction pathway.

    Structural intermediates observed only in intact Escherichia coli indicate a mechanism for TonB-dependent transport

    Thushani D Nilaweera, David A Nyenhuis, David S Cafiso
    Pulse electron paramagnetic resonance on intact Escherichia coli reveals a substrate-induced structural transition in BtuB, the vitamin B12 transporter, which is not seen in reconstituted membranes and indicates a mechanism of transport.
