    MYC regulates ribosome biogenesis and mitochondrial gene expression programs through its interaction with host cell factor–1

    Tessa M Popay, Jing Wang ... William P Tansey
    Interaction of oncoprotein transcription factor MYC with chromatin-associated protein host cell factor–1 controls expression of genes important for ribosome biogenesis and mitochondrial vigor, loss of which promotes tumor regression.

    A Bayesian analysis of the association between Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase genotype and survival in tuberculous meningitis

    Laura Whitworth, Jacob Coxon ... Lalita Ramakrishnan
    In this ideal example of pharmacogenomics, individuals with a common variant in a gene encoding for an inflammatory lipid mediator benefit selectively from standard-of-care anti-inflammatory treatment used for tuberculous meningitis.

    Primary and promiscuous functions coexist during evolutionary innovation through whole protein domain acquisitions

    José Antonio Escudero, Aleksandra Nivina ... Didier Mazel
    The coexistence of ancestral and innovative functions is possible and fosters evolutionary innovation in events involving the acquisition of whole protein domains.

    Common cell type nomenclature for the mammalian brain

    Jeremy A Miller, Nathan W Gouwens ... Amy Bernard
    A new nomenclature convention for mammalian cell types utilizing shared taxonomies and quantitative cell features is applied to high-quality, open data from the mouse and human brain.

    Structure of bacterial phospholipid transporter MlaFEDB with substrate bound

    Nicolas Coudray, Georgia L Isom ... Damian C Ekiert
    Structure of MlaFEDB ABC transporter with substrate bound in the outward-open pocket of MlaE provides mechanistic insights into lipid transport within the Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope.

    Dose-dependent action of the RNA binding protein FOX-1 to relay X-chromosome number and determine C. elegans sex

    Behnom Farboud, Catherine S Novak ... Barbara J Meyer
    RNA binding protein FOX-1 functions as a dose-dependent X-signal element to communicate X-chromosome number and determine nematode sex by controlling alternative non-productive pre-mRNA splicing of the master sex-determination switch gene.

    Isoform-specific roles for AKT in affective behavior, spatial memory, and extinction related to psychiatric disorders

    Helen Wong, Josien Levenga ... Charles Hoeffer
    Murine behavioral testing and biochemical experiments reveal AKT isoform- and sex-dependent mechanisms regulating affective behavior, memory formation, and extinction.

    BUB-1 targets PP2A:B56 to regulate chromosome congression during meiosis I in C. elegans oocytes

    Laura Bel Borja, Flavie Soubigou ... Federico Pelisch
    BUB-1 recruits PP2A/B56 to regulate chromosome congression in meiosis I.

    High-fidelity musculoskeletal modeling reveals that motor planning variability contributes to the speed-accuracy tradeoff

    Mazen Al Borno, Saurabh Vyas ... Scott L Delp
    The speed-accuracy tradeoff could be a consequence of motor planning variability and not exclusively signal-dependent noise, as is currently held.

    Cell types and neuronal circuitry underlying female aggression in Drosophila

    Catherine E Schretter, Yoshinori Aso ... Gerald M Rubin
    A discrete group of interconnected neurons are shown to drive aggressive social interactions in Drosophila females and genetic tools to manipulate these neuronal cell types are provided.
