    Reactive oxygen species oxidize STING and suppress interferon production

    Lili Tao, Andrew Lemoff ... Tiffany A Reese
    Redox modification of STING represents a novel target for interferon regulation and control of herpesvirus replication.

    Orderly assembly underpinning built-in asymmetry in the yeast centrosome duplication cycle requires cyclin-dependent kinase

    Marco Geymonat, Qiuran Peng ... Marisa Segal
    The polarized orientation of the mitotic spindle in budding yeast arises from spindle pole structural and functional asymmetry subject to cell cycle control.

    Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis coordinates oxidative metabolism in mammalian mitochondria

    Sara M Nowinski, Ashley Solmonson ... Jared Rutter
    Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is best known for producing lipoic acid, however, longer acyl chain products regulate mitochondrial electron transport chain assembly, oxidative TCA cycle metabolism, and skeletal myoblast differentiation.

    The identification of dual protective agents against cisplatin-induced oto- and nephrotoxicity using the zebrafish model

    Jaime N Wertman, Nicole Melong ... Jason N Berman
    L-mimosine and dopamine protect against cisplatin-induced oto- and nephrotoxicity in zebrafish and human cell line models.

    Chemical and structural investigation of the paroxetine-human serotonin transporter complex

    Jonathan A Coleman, Vikas Navratna ... Eric Gouaux
    Structural and biochemical analysis of the mechanism of paroxetine binding to the serotonin transporter provides a framework for transporter inhibition and design of small-molecule inhibitors.

    Geometric models for robust encoding of dynamical information into embryonic patterns

    Laurent Jutras-Dubé, Ezzat El-Sherif, Paul François
    Propagation, speed and shapes of genetic waves of expression during development can be modeled by a simple interplay between two transcriptional modules (dynamic/static), which explains robustness and precision of patterning.

    Light-induced engagement of microglia to focally remodel synapses in the adult brain

    Carla Cangalaya, Stoyan Stoyanov ... Alexander Dityatev
    The causal role of microglia in the acceleration of spine turnover and generation of presynaptic filopodia is directly demonstrated in the adult brain following acute focal synaptic photodamage.

    Shared and modality-specific brain regions that mediate auditory and visual word comprehension

    Anne Keitel, Joachim Gross, Christoph Kayser
    The comprehension of acoustic and visual speech depends on modality-specific pathways in the brain, which explains why auditory speech abilities and lip reading are not associated in typical adults.

    The Sec1/Munc18 protein Vps45 holds the Qa-SNARE Tlg2 in an open conformation

    Travis J Eisemann, Frederick Allen ... Frederick M Hughson
    Whereas in a paradigmatic structure an SM protein chaperone clamps its client SNARE shut, a second structure demonstrates that an SM protein can also hold its SNARE open to promote assembly.

    The manifold actions of signaling peptides on subcellular dynamics of a receptor specify stomatal cell fate

    Xingyun Qi, Akira Yoshinari ... Keiko U Torii
    A binary cell fate decision to be or not to be stomata is regulated by multiple peptide ligands, each triggering a unique subcellular dynamics of their shared receptor.
