    The role of extracellular matrix phosphorylation on energy dissipation in bone

    Stacyann Bailey, Grazyna E Sroga ... Deepak Vashishth
    Global extracellular bone matrix phosphorylation level is optimized for appropriate mechanical function and is affected by the presence and heterogeneity in phosphorylation of osteopontin.

    Cohesin mutations are synthetic lethal with stimulation of WNT signaling

    Chue Vin Chin, Jisha Antony ... Julia A Horsfield
    Hypersensitivity of cohesin-deficient cells to Wnt signaling is concomitant with beta catenin stabilization and offers promise that Wnt agonists could be therapeutically effective in cohesin mutant cancers.

    The ribosomal RNA m5C methyltransferase NSUN-1 modulates healthspan and oogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Clemens Heissenberger, Jarod A Rollins ... Markus Schosserer
    In nematode worms, NSUN-1 methylates ribosomal RNA and influences phenotypes related to aging, stress resistance, germ line development, and cuticle integrity by regulating translation of specific mRNAs.

    A putative origin of the insect chemosensory receptor superfamily in the last common eukaryotic ancestor

    Richard Benton, Christophe Dessimoz, David Moi
    Comparative genomics and three-dimensional protein modelling identify homologs of insect chemosensory receptors in unicellular eukaryotes and plants.

    Translation in amino-acid-poor environments is limited by tRNAGln charging

    Natalya N Pavlova, Bryan King ... Craig B Thompson
    Amino acid limitation triggers preferential uncharging of glutamine-specific tRNAs and depletes polyglutamine tract-containing proteins from mammalian cells, revealing a potential role for polyglutamine tracts as sensors of glutamine sufficiency.

    XLF acts as a flexible connector during non-homologous end joining

    Sean M Carney, Andrew T Moreno ... Joseph J Loparo
    The disordered C-terminal tail allows XRCC4-like factor (XLF) to find and bind the XRCC4-Lig4 complex, enabling DNA end synapsis and subsequent ligation during non-homologous end joining.

    Health benefits attributed to 17α-estradiol, a lifespan-extending compound, are mediated through estrogen receptor α

    Shivani N Mann, Niran Hadad ... Michael B Stout
    17α-Estradiol, a life-span extending compound, signals through estrogen receptor α (ERα) in the liver and hypothalamus to elicit health benefits in a sex-specific manner.

    Structural insights into the nucleic acid remodeling mechanisms of the yeast THO-Sub2 complex

    Sandra K Schuller, Jan M Schuller ... Elena Conti
    The THO-Sub2 complex is an asymmetric homodimer that uses the spatial arrangement of two Sub2 helicases to prevent RNA:DNA hybrids.
