   Rab12 is a regulator of LRRK2 and its activation by damaged lysosomes

   Xiang Wang, Vitaliy V Bondar ... Anastasia G Henry

   Rab12 was identified as a key modulator of LRRK2-dependent Rab phosphorylation that mediates the recruitment of LRRK2 to lysosomes in response to damage.

   Genome-wide screen reveals Rab12 GTPase as a critical activator of Parkinson’s disease-linked LRRK2 kinase

   Herschel S Dhekne, Francesca Tonelli ... Suzanne R Pfeffer

   Activating mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 cause Parkinson’s disease, and an unbiased genome-wide screen revealed an unexpected, specific role for Rab12 in activating this kinase directly for Rab GTPase phosphorylation.

   Enterobacterales plasmid sharing amongst human bloodstream infections, livestock, wastewater, and waterway niches in Oxfordshire, UK

   William Matlock, Samuel Lipworth ... REHAB Consortium

   A geographically and temporally restricted genomic surveillance study concludes that Enterobacterales plasmid dissemination between human and non-human niches might be occurring at greater rates than previously estimated.

   ACC neural ensemble dynamics are structured by strategy prevalence

   Mikhail Proskurin, Maxim Manakov, Alla Karpova

   Anterior Cingulate Cortex displays robust tracking during strategy execution of a summary statistic for that strategy in recent behavioral history, suggesting a role for this brain region in estimating which actions promote the occurrence of events in the environment.

   Differential regulation of hair cell actin cytoskeleton mediated by SRF and MRTFB

   Ling-Yun Zhou, Chen-Xi Jin ... Hao Wu

   In hair cells, the development and maintenance of the F-actin-enriched stereocilia and cuticular plates are differentially regulated by transcription factors SRF and MRTFB, and SRF–CNN2 is required for modulating actin dynamics of the stereocilia and cuticular plate.
