    ACLY ubiquitination by CUL3-KLHL25 induces the reprogramming of fatty acid metabolism to facilitate iTreg differentiation

    Miaomiao Tian, Fengqi Hao ... Min Wei
    Metabolic flux analysis, biochemistry assays, and functional confirmation in mice show that the ubiquitination and degradation of ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) mediated by CUL3-KLHL25 promotes the switch from fatty acid synthesis to fatty acid oxidation for iTreg differentiation.

    A simple regulatory architecture allows learning the statistical structure of a changing environment

    Stefan Landmann, Caroline M Holmes, Mikhail Tikhonov
    Minimal modifications of common regulatory circuits can allow bacteria to learn from the past to better predict the future, on a physiological, rather than evolutionary, timescale.

    Evolution of cytokine production capacity in ancient and modern European populations

    Jorge Domínguez-Andrés, Yunus Kuijpers ... Mihai G Netea
    Neolithic was a turning point for immune responses in Europeans, favoring tolerance against intracellular pathogens, promoting inflammation against extracellular microbes, and being related to current auto-immune diseases.

    A precisely adjustable, variation-suppressed eukaryotic transcriptional controller to enable genetic discovery

    Asli Azizoglu, Roger Brent, Fabian Rudolf
    A new gene expression tool enables precise control of protein dosage over a large range and paves the way for new genetic discoveries.

    The severity of microstrokes depends on local vascular topology and baseline perfusion

    Franca Schmid, Giulia Conti ... Bruno Weber
    The number of inflows and outflows at the occluded capillary governs the local flow reduction, and the different topological configurations are probably designed for distinct functional tasks.

    Motor planning under uncertainty

    Laith Alhussein, Maurice A Smith
    New evidence shows that when there is uncertainty about an action's goal the motor system creates a single action plan that optimizes task performance rather than averaging multiple potential plans.

    Development and genetics of red coloration in the zebrafish relative Danio albolineatus

    Delai Huang, Victor M Lewis ... David M Parichy
    In the zebrafish relative Danio albolineatus, red erythrophores share a common progenitor with yellow xanthophores and require Cyp2ae2 and Bdh1a for accumulation of red ketocarotenoid pigment.

    Reexamination of N-terminal domains of syntaxin-1 in vesicle fusion from central murine synapses

    Gülçin Vardar, Andrea Salazar-Lázaro ... Christian Rosenmund
    A mutant rescue approach in STX1-null autaptic neurons provides definitive answers and opens up new questions into a controversial matter of syntaxin-1's binding to Munc18-1 through its N-peptide and its function in neurotransmission.

    Linker histone H1.8 inhibits chromatin binding of condensins and DNA topoisomerase II to tune chromosome length and individualization

    Pavan Choppakatla, Bastiaan Dekker ... Hironori Funabiki
    Linker histone H1.8 shapes mitotic chromosomes by tuning the number and size of condensin-dependent DNA loops and suppressing condensin and DNA topoisomerase II-dependent individualization.

    Characterization of the ABC methionine transporter from Neisseria meningitidis reveals that lipidated MetQ is required for interaction

    Naima G Sharaf, Mona Shahgholi ... Douglas C Rees
    NmMetQ is a lipoprotein that tethers to membranes via a lipid anchor and has dual function and localization, playing a role in NmMetNI-mediated transport at the inner membrane and moonlighting on the bacterial surface.
