    An autoinhibitory clamp of actin assembly constrains and directs synaptic endocytosis

    Steven J Del Signore, Charlotte F Kelley ... Avital Adah Rodal
    Autoinhibition allows synaptic endocytic actin regulators to pre-deploy to synaptic membranes at high concentrations and constrains actin assembly to productive events.

    NirD curtails the stringent response by inhibiting RelA activity in Escherichia coli

    Loïc Léger, Deborah Byrne ... Etienne Maisonneuve
    Genetic and biochemical approaches uncover a novel mode of regulation of the alarmone synthetase RelA through a functional and direct interaction with the small subunit of the nitrite reductase NirD.

    Temporally delayed linear modelling (TDLM) measures replay in both animals and humans

    Yunzhe Liu, Raymond J Dolan ... Timothy E Behrens
    Temporally delayed linear modelling provides a domain-general linear framework for sequence detection and statistical testing, and is able to detect replays in both human neuroimaging and animal electrophysiology.

    Analysis of the PcrA-RNA polymerase complex reveals a helicase interaction motif and a role for PcrA/UvrD helicase in the suppression of R-loops

    Inigo Urrutia-Irazabal, James R Ault ... Mark S Dillingham
    RNA polymerase recruits the PcrA DNA helicase via a conserved interaction motif in order to remove R-loops and prevent conflicts with replication.

    Distinct synaptic transfer functions in same-type photoreceptors

    Cornelius Schröder, Jonathan Oesterle ... Tom Baden
    The ribbon synapses of zebrafish UV-cone photoreceptors preferentially transmit transient or sustained components in light-stimuli depending on their location in the eye.

    Ferroptotic stress promotes the accumulation of pro-inflammatory proximal tubular cells in maladaptive renal repair

    Shintaro Ide, Yoshihiko Kobayashi ... Tomokazu Souma
    Ferroptotic stress enhances the accumulation of damage-associated inflammatory proximal tubular cell state, thereby promoting maladaptive renal repair and the AKI-to-CKD transition.

    Structure-guided microbial targeting of antistaphylococcal prodrugs

    Justin J Miller, Ishaan T Shah ... Audrey R Odom John
    Prodrug antibiotics can be designed that are serum-stable but readily cleaved inside bacterial pathogens.
    1. Neuroscience

    Alpha oscillations and event-related potentials reflect distinct dynamics of attribute construction and evidence accumulation in dietary decision making

    Azadeh HajiHosseini, Cendri A Hutcherson
    Alpha oscillations represent an intermediate stage of evidence accumulation that is influenced by self-regulation in value-based decision making.

    Pak1 kinase controls cell shape through ribonucleoprotein granules

    Joseph O Magliozzi, James B Moseley
    A newly discovered substrate of Pak1 kinase reveals novel mechanisms that control cell shape through regulated assembly of ribonucleoprotein granules.
